hiya,
Dave the worlds an easier place to get on with when you’ve had a few,
just my opinion, but who’ll listen to me, I’m told by the “boss” I only
spout rubbish and that gets worse the more I drink.
thanks harry, long retired.

I can talk a load of ■■■■■■■■ without drink Harry, as many on here will testify.

hiya,
If everybody spoke “sense” all the time what a miserable world it would be,
a bit of daft banter to make you chuckle on a daily basis works wonders as
does a Double Diamond so mix the two and make for happy living.

And the correct response is…“that might be true my love, but I’ll never be as good at it as you are”

hiya,
Dave as I’ve often said I could have quite enjoyed your Gramp’s company I
could have learned a thing or two from him, was he partial to a single malt
or several ■■ I’d gladly top his glass up just to become a man of the world
using that sort of logic.
thanks harry, long retired.

I expect he would have enjoyed a single malt Harry. I remember him having a glass of cider with his supper most evenings, also he enjoyed barley wine. I wouldn’t think he ever thought of buying whisky,as he only had his state pension and a bit of income from a few animals he kept… A couple of his brothers who live in local villages where there were pubs would have a tot or two of whisky.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave once as a young fellah’ I overdid it on barley wine on an awayday
to Blackpool, powerful stuff, I think I lost two days, never had it since.

Hiya Harry I know the feeling my first ever pint of scrumpy was my downfall.
We had gone down to coats for two loads of cider.Wagon -pup I woke on the pup
with ropes for a pillow. Never did thank my driver I was 15yrs old at the time
( Great days learning the ropes )
guesty.

Barley wine, 
Many years ago I used to deliver fuel oil to Whitbread Brewery, Woodlesford, (Nr. Leeds) One of their artic drivers, full load of cases of Whitbreads Gold Label Barley Wine, managed to get it rusty side up, the load was a write off. They recovered it to Woodlesford and there were still hundreds of bottles undamaged but, the insurance had written the job lot off. “Help yourselves lads” So everybody did. I filled the ERF cab, just left enough room to get myself in. Got back, all the lads in the terminal filled their snap bags and a good time was had by all. 
Like Harry, it was only later I found out how powerful the stuff was, I’ve never touched anything like it since.

Same here, I bought four bottles of the stuff 20+ years ago. It tasted sweet and sickly,so I thought drink some more and get used to the taste. I didn’t get used to it, downed a pint of Guinness to get rid of the taste. That didn’t work.I could taste the stuff for days. I will never drink barley wine again.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
I don’t have a sense of smell anymore but when it was working I couldn’t
stand the smell of navy rum, no problems when in the early days I drank
it in moderation ( when serving as a young national serviceman in Korea
a tot on parade in the morning was army rules) why my regiment I don’t
know but like the Royal Navy boys we got a daily tot and you had to drink
it in the presence of the issuing officer, but when the regiment was ready
to leave to transfer to Malaya the stores where being depleted and I got
hold of a gallon of the said rum which had to be diluted being like treacle
in it’s raw state, well I did my bit and made a few buckets of the stuff for
anyone who wanted it, there was more guys who were charged with not
being able to carry out their duties than there was who were fit for duty
there was hardly anybody fit for work next morning, we diluted it alright
with Japanese beer well the water was undrinkable, so the beer which at
that time although sort of rationed was cheap enough, never tried rum
since that day and when the “nose” was working couldn’t be near a rum
drinker in a pub.
thanks harry, long retired.
I can’t bear the smell of coffee,either in a mug or a cake. Only hot drink for me is tea. Cold drink,most beer’s and some lager’s.
Cheers Dave.
harry , all the troubles in the world are caused by strong drink or women . no wonder you are always pleading poverty trying to keep both at the same time !!
Harry must be from farming stock Dave. They are always pleading poverty.

I do the same, A bit of holiday relief etc,Regards Larry.
Hope you lads know, 
OAP’s don’t get paid for holidays, I am going to talk to the PM and suggest that he stops taking too much tax off of us! And give us a rebate on each of the bank holidays.
