Alcohol consumption during lockdown

[Captain Turdseye]

Just bought a litre of gin. I barely even drink. I need to stop reading this forum.

Wondering what our right-leaning posters make of this.

Nil, taking the opportunity to thank my liver for sticking with me all this time, a nod to the pancreas too for not packing it all in.

it's great going for a wonder late at night - especially now it's warming up. 

 

I've also developed the tactic of telling people how long shit is gonna take to do. Seems to work- everyone else is feeling it right now. 

 

Hope it gets easier for you.

Cheers. Yeah a late night walk is good I stick a jumper and fleece on. Weird everywhere being so quiet. 

 

Sometimes it's the best of both worlds (work's quiet, kids are great) and sometimes the worst of both world's (work are being pricks, kids not so much better). Usually somewhere in the middle. 

 

Made up it's the weekend! Work can fuck right off for two days.

I'm fucked on rum, and there's nothing going on, no new posts, no 'interesting' theories. Disappointed. I could post utter rubbish for hours, but there's nothing. Feel like a Muse song.

Went back to bed up being up a whole 3hrs yesterday and finally woke up at 2am starving. 

 

So with no butter in the house

 

Cheesey potato bread

Chease and beef role's with horseradish and mustard sauce 

 

Some Texas made Balcones True Blue 100 proof(50%abv Blue Corn Spirit)

Two cans of Abbot last night. Wild stuff.

As I have decided today is the day I am over yet another massive kick in the balls playoff loss for the Saints I shall be playing Madden listening to NFL podcasts and it will only be appropriate for my drinks of choice to be Sazerac Rye and some cocktails with Herbsaint cocktails

 

Feel a bit like this

One bad loss on Madden and back in the hole pretending the NFL doesn't exist

Is that the Virginia selection, or have you gone balls out for the party pack?

[TheBitch]

Just the starter pack for £5.95 8 random beers. 

 

Looks like a few nice ones. 

 

I assume we’re all drinking now aren’t we.

I'm just doing my bit to help small businesses. 

 

 

And drinking.

I've done a deal with Saltaire Brewery. They're delivering me 9g casks of ale; I've sourced a supply of one gallon containers and I'm pouring beer into them and delivering to doorstep across Leeds and Bradford £25 a gallon. They pay me via PayPal and I deliver wearing a fresh pair of blue gloves every time. I'm absolutely fucking snowed under with orders. Brilliant to see how chuffed people are when they open the door and see a gallon of freshly poured IPA on their doorstep and it's keeping me well busy.

You will get a knighthood for this. Good man.

 

Local taproom I go to delivers (which was a godsend when I was quarantined for 14 days) and the owner says it’s keeping him solvent but not  nearly making up for what trade normally is; he allows pickups so went to pick up a dozen cans and another regular and his missus were there so we stayed and had a few pints, felt like I was at speakeasy in Prohibition America.  

He also commented on how happy people were to see the deliveries and how some are still in their pj’s

I ordered both ‘beer fest’ cases. 
 

They look like they should be really good, I have fuckall interest in watching some bloke with generic tattoos and a beard talking about hop boiling points, so will not be ‘socialising’ with all the others.

Sounds right up my alley. Do you deliver Headingley way? And how may I go about acquiring your wares?

Yes mate. Have a look at my facebook - The Manor Inn Pudsey. All details there. PM me on fb if you like the look of anything. 

 

You could go direct to Saltaire brewery but they're out of 9 pint kegs. You can get bottles from them (not a fan of fizzy IPA myself) or 36 pint bag in box. Them's your only options really.

Broke the not going rule out, again. Had a partner in crime today as well. Think I've got till Wednesday, then its gone awf, however, the cider lasts way longer and we...I, have half a barrel of Aspall to contend with.

 

Tough lark this bevying thing. 

[TheHowieLama]

...is going up.
