Used to drink rum with blackcurrant after a black &tan when I came out the army. But then my eldest brother got me drunk on navy rum, and I never touched. it again.

hiya,
Norm we used to get a tot of rum on parade every morning when serving
in Korea, bloody cold place that in the winter, I didn’t like it then and I
can’t stand the smell of the stuff even now nearly 60 years on.
thanks harry, long retired.

That’s one of the few spirits that I have tasted,rum and blackcurrant.That was over forty years ago.I always thought that such a small amount in a glass wasn’t value for money,so being a tight git I drank beer.
Cheers Dave.

Dave you should have had it after a pint, it would put hair on your chest, and got you drunk quicker, plus if you drrank too much, you only needed to drink water and you would feel drunk again for several days. So it could work out cheaper, if you drank seven days a week!

Norman, are you supplementing your already massive pension by moonlighting for the rum industry■■? Let me know the way in, I can do the same for the Irish Whiskey trade when I retire (again), in fourteen weeks and three days, who’s counting? regards Kev.

I can honestly say that I have never been drunk Norm.I like a drink of beer,but have never been a heavy drinker.
My biggest expense has always been my bungalow and the various vehicles that I have had over the years.
Cheers Dave.

That was the one time I regret, when I was thirsty I drank water, and it started over and over again, I felt so bad, I just wanted to curl up and die, that thick navy rum was dynamite, it blew my stomach so I couldn’t eat or drink for days. I never touched rum again for years,then the late 70’s I had bacardi & coke, but only a small drop in the bottom of the glass, ice and a piece of lemon and full to the top with coke. I still shudder when I think about it.

dave_the_renegade · 18 April 2013 08:27

The only stuff I regret drinking is barley wine,it tasted that sweet and sickly.I could taste it for days.I won’t be trying that stuff again.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
The “can’t have a drink medication” is finished and imbibing of the amber nectar
has resumed but only in moderation, something like a wee dram per evening so
am only filling my large glass half way, my doctor is a scot so he understands.
thanks harry, long retired.

We’ll see Harry, I definitely don’t intend to work (apart from odd days ) I will keep my licence up,
(medical permitting) I have my drivers CPC and ADR until 2019 but I think the “Blessed Dorothy” might have some input to any future wheelwork. Regards Kev.

Of course we have, We just don’t make it known, If we couldn’t get or keep on the wives good sides without having plan B, It would mean telling porkies, Which of course Harry & I wouldn’t even think of doing, We must think of our reputations as Retired Gentlemen drivers, Regards Larry.

hiya,
Dave Larry and me could pull the wool over the “ministries” eyes far easier
than we could outwit a female of the species, fiddle an extra hour or two
to get home easy peasy, try and sneak an extra drink after she says no is
pushing ones luck a little bit too much.
thanks harry, long retired.
