Oh no, definitely raspberries

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

depends on preparation I guess, best when put in a large tub and stomped on in bare feet

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

We use flippers and cotton wool

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

ahh have heard of that method but was a little concerned about the lack of snorkel protection

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

It works ok if you put vaseline on first

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

ah ok, thats were Ive been going wrong, not enought lubrication obviously

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Ahhh see that's very important. I've heard some people use warm chocolate but I've not tried that.

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

*nods wisely* yes chocolate is good, but theres always the chance it drys and cracks the machinery

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Yeah, I reckon honey would be better...I might give that a go next time, would add nice flavour too

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

true, the rubbery taste from the flippers can be distracting

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Oh no we use a special coating on the flippers, it's mainly based on malt

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

hmm but doesnt it melt them or does the cotton wool fix that problem

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Yes the cotton wool is key to the success. You should try it, I've got some I'll send you.

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

*sigh* if Id only known about the cotton wool earlier , so much production wasted

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Well it's a much published practice on that website I gave you.

Hey, don't worry, you can still sell it, no-one will know any difference unless they're true professionals

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

I guess it depends on my morals though

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Ah well yes, but you know it's all quality, it's just the bitterness that is affected and it's no good with caviar if you don't use the cotton wool...but not many people do the caviar method these days....

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

but i heard that you gotta stuff the caviar quite far in , isnt that difficult with large hands?

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Oh noooooo that's the old way of doing it!! You need to just coat the edge with it, that's the best way

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

mayb we should go into business,

what could we call ourselves hmmm

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Looks around furtively - Did we slip into some kind of time warp then, r they gone :unsure: did they buy anyone a drink? - no, ok looks like I'll have to buy the next round then. Whatever anyone wants and a nice glass of warm mead of me. ;)

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Don't think much of the entertainment here? :confused:
Oh well, give me a double Vodies and Coke please!:D
Another warm mead for you?
Is Mal back yet?

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Thanks Lorna - I'd love a Christmas drink with you - cheers:thumbsup:

I ventured in here earlier and was as confused as you about the two strangers propping up the bar:confused:

Happy Christmas

Jo

Re: The Bar Is Now Open

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Thanks that sounds good, it's got to be warmer than where I am at the moment :thumbsup:

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Bar seems empty just now; and here I am in an house devoid of furniture, using a borrowed computer, we have a portable tv and air beds with borrowed bedding and no sign of that truck!

Ran round ToysRus and an outlet mall today to do Christmas tommorrow, and

Here I am drinking alone in a strange country and there is even a hint of white stuff outside!!

Anyone for a vodka, or a mulled wine even ... oops just remembered need to check to see if that turkey has defrosted?

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

I'd join you for a vodka but it's a little early for me yet, I like to wait until after 9am :rofl:

Hope you have a fantastic Christmas :)

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

I'll have anything with alcohol in it, very f***** off this morning, had to work nights last night, after dropping husband at pub with our friends. Back from work this morning, and HE is too hungover to move, so I am now at HIS parents on my F****** own! AND I have to work tonight! AND the kids are with their birth mother, had to speak to 3 crying children at 9am, who all want to come home.

So mines the bloody bottle, Merry Christmas, Bah humbug......
:curse:Charlie:curse:

Hey ho, Christmas 2008 in Canada. :thumbsup:

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

:beer:I thought I'd give beer a miss last:thumbup: night opting for Vodka with Red Bull instead, big mistake - spent most of last night /this morning wide eyed unable to sleep, except that is until the kids got up then i just wanted to sleep:thumbdown:

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Merry Christmas to everyone home and away - just off to walk on the frozen lake to build up an appetite for our lunch. turkey cooked well and everything else under control except our kids who are stil at home in Wales and who thought it would be good to ring us at 6 am this morning from the rugby club for them all to wish us a merry christmas :frown::rofl: kids you gotta love them :wub::thumbsup::thumbsup:

oh sorry money on the bar for what everyone wants. :beer::beer:
