Hope you had a really special time Larry ,May you have many more from all members of the Harry Gill fan club
Hiya,
Larry’s like me Dexterboy if there’s a nice drop of single malt to hand
everything is fine of course a goodly sized crystal glass to hold the
sacred contents is a must, goodly sized mind no bleedin’ thimbles at
least something that holds about four good measures with a nice bit
of space so as not to spill any of the precious liquid, at this moment
I’m a bit restricted by my “stewardess” as to what I’m allowed an egg
cup sized glass is my daily ration “it’s for your own good” you’re lucky
you’re getting that is her remark when complaining about the skinny
amount she allows me, but should she pop to the shop at any time
during the day the glass does get topped up a couple of times in her
absence, well what the eye doesn’t see.
thanks harry, long retired.
Well done Harry ,top up when she goes out ,I like a bit of defiance, and a crystal glass, pure class have a nice day

Hiya,
Crystal glass that’s only me trying to be posh Dexterboy, if needs must I’ve been
known to partake of the amber nectar via a pint beer glass not filled to the top
I hasten to add don’t want to risk spillage although I do have a couple of fine
crystal glasses and it does seem to taste that little bit nicer when partaken from
them, bloody hell Dexterboy I nearly believed that tosh myself for a minute.
thanks harry, long retired.
I like a nice crystal glass to partake with the amber nectar only way

Hiya,
Ang my Darling I’d drink it out of a clean enamel bucket if I could afford to fill it. 
thanks harry, long retired.
The amount of booze you lads and lasses get through might a drip feed be more convenient in the long run? 
At least then you wouldn’t have to stop while doing your daily chores, and if you got the whole hog and get yourself fitted up with a Catheter bag then trips to the loo will be a thing of the past as well. It will save you hours of time over a 12 month and just think of all the jobs that you can get done in the extra time available to you. Needs a young head to think of these things, no need to thank me just yet but you will do when you get all those things done that drinking time got in the way of previously and your Wife/Partner/Dog/Cat etc will appreciate the extra time doting on them. 
Pete.
As I work full time & live on own not a lot to do here but thanks any way
Hi Harry does your good wife not mark the bottle before she goes shopping? You have just spoilt my image of you ,with a cravat on drinking out of a crystal glass to lying on the floor drinking out of a bucket ,imagine what that would cost LOL
Hi wind rush. As you are a younger person and not yet blighted by her indoors ,how dare you suggest these modern aids to do jobs in the house whilst having some me time (drinking) women don’t need encouragement to produce THE LIST of jobs to be done when you get older you will realize the error of your ways repent why you can

Hiya,
Ah’ yes Dexterboy the bottle does get marked with pencil which she hides behind
the Gin bottle, “that never gets touched” but I have a small rubber hidden below
a Brandy bottle a splash of which occasionally gets added to her cake mix, but I
do (fair play to her) get a fair warning when a baking day is imminent so evasive
action can be taken and the eraser temporarily removed until hostilities are once
again replaced,I have convinced my Good Lady that vast evaporation takes place
when the seal on single malt is broken she did question why not the Gin or Brandy
I think I’ve convinced her that single malt is such a specialist drink and drinkers
of the stuff are forewarned to expect such phenomena, I wouldn’t swap my Missus
for all the tea in China, but a few bottles of decent stuff from oe’r the Border my
thinking might just get modified a bit, a terrifying thought though, I can’t cook.
thanks harry, long retired.

Ah well I have to do everything indoors and out so I know just how time consuming housework etc is. I don’t drink so finding time to do it isn’t a problem but for you lads who do imbibe it was just a suggestion to help you fit everything in to your busy day. A lot of the retired drivers I know do the cooking now for their wives and enjoy it, I do myself, and they didn’t have time to do it when working but it does take time up and a drip feed on your shoulder would surely help? Not that young either, 64 later this year! 
Think on, you might enjoy being a ‘New Man’ and the missus would appreciate it.
Pete.
Hi wind rush ,decided not to be a NEW MAN in my youth so the missus opted for a new man and I was thrown away like a 30year old Foden that was 1975,a few near misses but nothing terminal since ,I love being on my own ,I don’t think I would like to be married again but for all who are and happy and settled I am really happy for you all long may it continue

I have been on my own since 92 dont think I would like anyone cramping my style
Hi Harry ,respect,you have got everything sossed and even in darkest craving for the malt I don’t think you would trade your missus for a dozen cases of the best malt
Hi animal spot on ,the longer your on your own the harder it gets to adjust to having any one around 2days of someone and I have had enough ,every one is different I have friends who can’t stand being on there own people asked do I get lonely?,I say never lonely just bored sometimes but then find something to do then I am fine it’s all in the mind

Hiya,
Pete, been down the road of drip feeds, about eight years ago, and installed in
“dock” I had needles with drips attached to many parts of my person there was
none however supplying single malt just blood, food and water something to do
with feeding, blood loss and rehydration I thought at first the clear liquid might
just be Vodka but not feeling inebriated at any time I realised it must just be a
water based something or other, now if they’d left the feeding thingy in-situ as
well as the liquid dispenser I could have become virtually self-contained never
needing to visit a kitchen or dining table ever again and should I have been the
single type wouldn’t have needed to go on the hunt for a partner cos’ I wouldn’t
have needed a cook being able to get all my sustenance on prescription.
thanks harry, long retired.
Just a shame they didn’t leave a few ‘supply points’ in your body Harry, we could have soon knocked up a back pack and a couple of optics for you and you could have been a completely self contained unit like Robocop! 
Seriously we hope that you will not require such items again, I have seen some sorry sights this year during my many Hospital visits to the missus and it is marvellous what the Medical Staff can do to improve patients recovery compared to 20+ years ago when my old man was terminally ill with lung cancer in the Middlesex Hospital. Don’t particularly want to experience it myself, but then neither does anyone else, at least you are back fighting fit and giving us on trucknet the benefit of your vast experience of avoiding DIY, managing women and other such tasks! Long may you continue to do so.
Pete.

Marking the bottle■■? That’s easy, when she’s gone out get the marker pen and put MANY marks on all the way down the bottle, she’s no idea which is her mark.
