It used to be on the A Level film exam spec but it went years ago, shame. <br /><br /> I have been on yiddishke penicillin duty to look after the poorly and have finally had a chance to sit down, load mine with lime and chilli and have it with beer number one ("Scottish Ale!"). I'm not sure whether to proceed to 'beer number 2' or 'whisky'. Or possibly a whisky mac, it being almost christmas and all.<br /><br />The naysayers are right about baileys. I haven't touched it since I was about 14, a night of that and jagermeister (don't know how it happened, don't remember much about it).adamhttp://www.pretendinglifeislikeasong.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-76423685001200116312011-12-23T20:39:00.196+00:002011-12-23T20:39:00.196+00:00I'll raise a glass, not Baileys to that Mr HI'll raise a glass, not Baileys to that Mr Hdrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469084438125548989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-20494469679993051432011-12-23T20:35:37.876+00:002011-12-23T20:35:37.876+00:00My Irish Gran loved a Bailey's.

She'd have one at Xmas parties and get all teary-eyed singing 'Danny Boy' - I know that sounds like a made-up 'Irish Grandmother' but she really did. <br /><br />She also pronounced 'anorak' with a 'h' at the start so I always say "put your <i>hanorak</i> on" in an Irish accent to my kids.<br /><br /><br />My, didn't I just get nostalgic?

Not knowing what they wanted to drink, ordering a round of ten drinks one at a time, one of the last inevitably being a pint of Guinness and then not having enough money. There should be seperate pubs for the twice yearly drunk who does not know put etiquette.drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469084438125548989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35608056.post-59693258532648830792011-12-23T19:48:13.667+00:002011-12-23T19:48:13.667+00:00Been trying not to worry about the money- never ha...Been trying not to worry about the money- never have any, no point in worrying.
