Once upon a year i could.....

20 Nov 2007

When i was younger I used to hang with a small group of guys, as one does in those far gone salad days of yore. It got me thinking about the 'comfy' nights we used to have. Look before you even think 'oh yeah a Lost confession. Coming out of closet time. no it wasn't ok.
A comfy night was a blitz in town drinking drinkies

nothing but Guinness and Southern comfort chasers till you as good as passed out :sleeping: or puk*d up :uhoh: (sorry firelizard)
Well Sunday evening i decided to have a glass of the black stuff :cheers: and follow it with a S/C :lickface: Well damned me how did i do that all night when i was a kid god knows I couldn't now. Apart from almost gagging after knocking back the chaser. It was just hard work.
Anyone else cant drink like or do what they used to do? Im feeling a little dispondant about this. Why i dunno

guess i'll have to go sit at the end of a bar with me pipe and a half o mild :cry:

I think your body must know better now, and is putting you off a quick route to bone hill.
Me if I can not remember I had a good time what was the point of it?

I'm the same....I remember the days when I used to go out and easily spend £50 on alcohol for the one night...and I'd get home pissed as a fart...
I don't think I could do it now...far far far too old!! lol

20 Nov 2007

To old not you, to wise!

20 Nov 2007

Can still drink like a fish but can no longer play rugby or football....
Perhaps there is a connection dunno

:lol2:

20 Nov 2007

I have never done the go out and get pissed as a fart thing, except once…...I never did it again.

20 Nov 2007

rolleyes

:lol: :lol: :lol: the last night i went out drinking to a pub i spend £60 on my own and had a hangover for 2 days
(i dont get out much ok) redface

20 Nov 2007

I drink a fraction of what I used to.I could do in a night what I do in months these days!
I don't miss it, it was just a different phase of my life, I don't need it in the same way now.

:cheers:
Talking of out drinking - I pulled an older woman at a pub last night. She was a right sort for 57.
We drank a bit, had a bit of a fumble and she asked if I'd ever had the sportsman's double; that is a mother and daughter 3 some?
I said no.
We drank a bit more, then she says that tonight was my lucky night! We went back to her place, she put the hall light on and shouted upstairs:
"Mum you still awake?"

LOL lost, I used to drink Blue Bols and lemonade like it was going out of fashion....couldnt touch the stuff now.
I also used to LOVE going on fairground rides and theme parks....now if i do go on something, its one of the tamer rides like the ferris wheel or the waltzers, and if I hear so much as a creak or groan from the mechanics of the ride, I am convinced that nuts and bolts are coming loose and the carriage or seat is going to fly off into oblivion, or the track is going to collapse into a heap of mangled metal :shock:
Think I'll join you at th'end of the bar with my carpet slippers on and a sweet sherry Lost lol

20 Nov 2007

I used to be able to drink "cherry b & cider" and "brandy & babycham"... cannot touch the stuff now :crazy:

20 Nov 2007

When I was younger everyone thought I had hollow legs lol

I could drink anyone under the table and still carry on.
Now, Im older, wiser and hardly touch alcohol at all. I doubt Id be able to drink like I could these days.
Priorities have changed and I can go out, have fun and things without the need to get as peed as a fart.

Whatever happened to "Alka Seltzers" confused

Plimboy :shock:
Your not so grumpy old straight single male

My Doctor told me not to drink any more.......He also told me not to drink any less !!!!!!!!!!

Blue bols and lemonade, Red wine and red bull, Gin and blackcurrant, and to cap it all cherry B and cider!!!!
Oh god its enough to make you b*rf just thinking on this stuff.
Just a little question from anyone looking in from Mancs/Lancs-ish. I once asked for a 'henry' (lemonade and orange juice in my book) in a back street boozer in those far off parts of our hallowed lands and got served what i believe tenuously to be a 'mickey mouse'
Not wanting to seem ill educated in the eyes of the drinking masses up there in foreign biggrin

lands I just accepted the drink and got on with it. The actual make up of this 'mickey nouse' drink was bitter with a fresh orange juice in it :cry: li was flat looked like mud amd tasted like Merthyr Tidfil.
Is the fact that i was told by someome called 'our kid' that this was a Henry correct. Or should i of looked into it being called a 'mickey mouse' a little more confused

Oohhh Brandy and babycham was one of mine too and I'm the same, just the smell of brandy has me wanting to hurl :eeek:
In bygone days, 18 through to early 20's I could drink at least 4 halves of lager and lime, followed by a couple of brandy and babychams, then move on to the double gin and blackcurrant cordials and finish off with a couple of Black Russians! How on earth I managed that lot, I will never know? :shock:
These days, red or white wine and on the odd occasion vodka redbull. My tipple is redwine and redbull. I am lucky in that I don't get hangovers, just feel a bit tired :lol2:
I'm not your friend anymore..... :cry: :cry:
Joking!... you are a lucky lucky woman a few too many and I suffer :beer:

You can still get them, well in Morrisons at least. I tried to buy some last Christmas but was refused as I had a packet of paracetamol and ibropufen (sp) also.

Yup- they're still widely available :thumbup:
I'm one of the lucky ones- never had a hangover.....but....will be taking a trailer load of Alka Seltzers away at christmas for "my" blokes.
Or maybe I'll only let them drink in shifts dunno

A gal needs to ensure she gets some attention!
