Default I'm an Alcoholic

Oh my god

I have just been reading over some old threads of mine and in every one I say "I am just opening a bottle of wine".

I have been in Aus for 18 months now and loving it but every celebration comes with a glass of wine. I can not let this thread be different so I am off for a glass of chardonay. mmmmmmmm

At least I fit in the Aussie way of life.

I used to use the stress of waiting for the visa, the house sale etc, to have a bottle of red. Now I use celebrating the visa as the excuse - it's win win for me!!!

Hi my name is Mark and I have a problem:

1. Wine gets warm so in order to keep the wine cool, it stays in the fridge and we drink from small glasses.
2. Small glasses mean we have to get up for top ups, so we need bigger glasses.
3. Bigger glasses mean the wine gets warm so we need smaller glasses.

Anhow, like I said, I have a problem:

My wireless does not work when I'm sat in the fridge

Solutions:-
1.) train child to get top-ups for you
2.) have ice-bucket ready in every room - take bottle wherever you go
3.) set up IV-syphon system between glass and fridge

Can someone lend me a child? Preferably a trained one?

Perhaps one big ice bucket and stay in that room?
3.) set up IV-syphon system between glass and fridge
I tried an IV thingy once before, It was in a bar called the "KLO" in Berlin. (KLO is german for the loo apparently) Anyhow I was with a german guy from work and he ordered. I ended up with a litre of black vodka hanging upside down on an IV drip stand. The problem is it dripped all over the floor when I went to the toilet.
