What do you mean Are you saying I frequent this place way too often for my own good? Just because I have my own chair that nobody else is allowed to use, the bar staff just put out my Merlots without me even asking and I've started coming in every morning doesn't mean I've turned into a fixture and fitting or does it???

Like the sound of those vodkas Maybe you should try a bit just to see how they're coming along...
My Dad's partner makes blackcurrant gin, mix blackcurrants and gin and leave for as long as you can or until the urge to drink it takes over. Now I don't like gin but it is lovely it tastes just like ribena and goes down waaayyyy too quickly, funnily enough the blackcurrants take on the taste of juniper from the gin [and taste foul!]

LOL

The plum gin tastes a bit like sloe gin and is really easy to drink. We used to pick blackberries and put them in vodka.....amazing

Peach vodka

I've a peach glut at the moment. How d'you make peach vodka ?

weejie

Get a big air tight container,put peaches in it then fill with vodka and some sugar....leave for 8-12 weeks ( give a wee shake every week ) and hey presto,a night you may not remember!!! plus you can eat the fruit with some ice cream and still get pi@@ed as a newt

Well??? Can't believe they ballsed it up again Hey ho, at least it wasn't a loss. Do you think they get 6 month each with the Calcutta Cup??
OOoo and when the BBC did a recap of cup games at the beginning, I saw my Daddy standing behind HRH Anne at the 2000 game

We managed to catch an England v Scotland 6 nations rugby game at the weekend.
