Dave I reckon I am going to survive then as I have 3 bottles in the cabinet and 4 in reserve in the wardrobe and we are going away for christmas so I should just about manage then. 
cheers Johnnie

i donāt think brianās fire will go out dave , i reckon mrs howram will be making sure he is nice and cozy , and keeping him supplied with fresh tea and all the comforts of home . donāt let her pour the whiskey though , she might get a taste for it , then he would have to share it , perish the thought ! cheers , dave
Oh thatās very good, if you knew Mrs.V you wouldnāt have said that. This woman will drink owt with an alcohol content. Yes, just about anything. Although she does know that if she ever goes anywhere near my whisky it will be a bad move on her part. Iāll back her in any drinking contest. She sulks if her pint is less than 5.0%. Sheāll only drink lager in an emergency. 72 years old, never has any health problems (annual MOT at the vets is clear every year) less that 9 stone wet through. She scares me when she drives the Jaguar, she likes to make it ānip on a bit quicklyā. And I have to live with her.

Powerful brew 5.0% and over Brian.I can see the likes of Newcastle Brown at 4.7% would not suffice.You aināt got her trying to keep up with Carryfast with that Jaguar are you.You are a brave man living with a hard drinking woman who drives fast
brian strikes me as a man who likes to live on the edge . a bit of a thrill seeker . at least if you settle down to some serious drinking you are in good company . nowt worse than drinking alone . it could work out a bit expensive though so i hope she has a little job to pay for her share ( and yours as well ) . i think i might pop up to the sonās house later and help him with the newky broon he hides in the garage . well i kept him in ale when he was a lad , so he looks after me in my old age . cheers , dave
Where abouts does your son live dave.Iām partial to a drop of Newcastle Brown myself I will come and give you some help in reducing his stock and make more space in his garage .
Cheers Dave.

It didnāt come from Wales Norm.It came from Worcestershire and only went back behind the passenger seat of the lorry . I think you should give your contemporaries on this thread a sound talking too before the firewater burns them up .
Cheers Dave.
Where are all the whisky drinkers today then,probably all hung over.As nobody could log into Trucknet everyone drank more .

Iām just off out now to my local,two pints and two whiskies,enough for me,too expensive for a poor ex UK tax exile,not like the rich Manx born pensioners. 
i think you slipped up when you emigrated chris , you should have retired to north durham , they donāt seem short of whiskey money up there . a certain sheffield member isnāt short of a bob or two either when it comes to buying drink , heās that tight though i bet he turns the heating off when he goes to the pub and leaves his poor wife shivering . ( as if he would dare ) cheers , dave
