Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss within the cup,
And I'll not ask for wine.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine;
But might I of Jove's nectar sip.

Dermot hope you're still suffering or not as the case may be :-)

Piffle is as piffle does!

Like I said before he that shovels it out can certainly say if he's upset at any point about anything.

Piffle is a beer brewed in Chester.

If that was me asking if someone was using Gin talk then I can see no gross abuse in that compared to all the other insults flung around.

It referred to a post which other people found hard to fathom as it appeared to be littered with piffle (a recently favoured word on GR).

I stand by my comment :-D

At last, a thread on a subject I know well :-D :-D

I have learnt, over the years I have been on this site, no to drink and post....except when I started the 'Bland' thread ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Foreigners, Dermot? In the pub? They are not allowed in my local. Only joking. Last week I was drinking with, inter alia, (grammar school education again) a Scot, a Welshman, and a German.

I don't drink much Dermot, so I will be cheap to buy for :-)

Last time I was tempted to pour myself a drink outside the house ( at a meetng of sorts, and it was only water) I managed to fling the glass across the table lol.

With my hand in its current state it's akin to the old joke
"Do you drink much? No....I spill most of it" :-)

Who's 'round' is it next?

A phrase that usually needs explaining to foreigners down at The Dog & Duck.

Ann, perhaps "accusation" was too strong a word, and I used it in respect of the original comment directed at myself.

I'd say it wasn't as direct as that in this case...more 'strongly implied' by comments made. :-)

edited to make more sense lol.

Not disbelieving you Rose of course but I have really not seen that accusation, must have been when I was not around.

DOWN THE DRAIN
(The twelve bottles of whisky).

I had twelve bottles of whisky in my cellar and my wife told me to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink... or else!
So, I said I would... and proceeded with the unpleasant task.

I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured the contents down the sink, with the exception of one glass... which I drank.

I extracted the cork from the second bottle and did likewise with the exception of one glass... which I drank.

I pulled the cork from the third bottle and poured the whisky down the sink, with the exception of one glass... which I drank.

I then withdrew the cork from the fourth sink and poured the bottle down the glass... which I drank.

I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and drank one sink out of it and threw the rest down the glass.

I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork from the bottle. Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink and drank the pour.

When I had everything emptied. I steadied the house with one hand, counted the bottles, corks, glasses and sinks with the other, which were twenty-nine.

To make sure I counted them again... they came to seventy-four. And as the house came by, I counted them again, and finally I had all the houses and bottles and corks and sinks and glasses counted, except one house and one cork... which l drank.
