EVERYTHING FREEZES…O/T.

[TF_MICK THE BOOKIE]

~think ~think Is it me or has our site frozen with the bitter cold weather that we are enduring at the moment as well as our fishing.
Perhaps we should have a massive debate on the pros and cons of the Arity verse the Tournament again,or we should invite our very own “Nathan Watson” on his favourite Xmas tipple….lol.
Mine is either Port and Brandy or Baileys and Brandy over ice….HICCCCCCCC.~shh ~shh ~shh ~shh ~shh

[TF_toplights]

What about the Jamesons then,or do you only drink that when its my round?~naughty ~naughty ~naughty

[TF_Paddy]

I used to think the same until I couldn’t find any last NYE & ended up with a couple of bottles of the Sailor Jerry’s stuff (with the cork stopper cap). Haven’t bought Spiced since!

Well well well – I’m surprised!
I came across Sailor Jerry before Captain Morgan and i love both of them to be honest. SJ has that fantastic Vanilla aroma, whilst Captain M is more spicey – terrible dilema!
We have both in the cupboard and the off license over the road stocks both, so if you run out Darren, let me know! Chin Chin!

makes a change from meths ~clap ~clap
myself i prefer blue and red bull ~think
paddy have you tried woods or pussers rum ??

[TF_D.W.]

If I am to be honest though Paddy, Bacardi 151 is the one I want to get my hands on again, but not at £65 a bottle (which is average price for it!!!!!).
I don’t think you can beat a good golden rum. Normal tipple though is the Havana Club Gold or Black (7 year). The Mrs always gets me a bottle or two for my birthday (which usually doesn’t last till the day after lol). Have most of the others such as Appletons etc, but always seem to go back to the Sailor Jerrys or Havana Club.

[TF_Paddy]

PTB – Woods is proper gear. Not had it for years though. I remember playing dominoes in Lozells, Birmingham with some Jamaican mates and had a major problem getting home after one Woods session!
Not tried the other one though. Red Bull reminds me of some cough medicine the old man used to force down our necks when we were kids!

[TF_Paddy]

Havana Club is lovely – it’s on offer in Asda at the moment.
We’ll have to go carping then Darren – and get blasted! (True Carp Styley!!!!)

[TF_MICK THE BOOKIE]

Malcome….Still love my Jameson…infact i have a treble and ice in my hand as we speak…lol.
Brian….Funny you should say that about Woods Rum…I love that too.
Heard on the grapevine that Ross Nursey`s favourite tipple is Gin and Arsenic…Mothers ruin..lol.~shh ~shh ~shh ~shh ~naughty ~naughty ~naughty ~naughty

[TF_caster robParticipant]

I used to enjoy a drop of the Woods, usually with a dash of pep added.

Much prefer single malts like Glenlivet or Balvenie, which I’m appreciating right now.

One problem Paddy, I don’t drink alcohol when fishing!!!

[TF_Paddy]

Ok, I’ll watch you fish and get blasted! Just pretend I’m a carper!!

With the Government putting our main ships out of commission and giving the Navy ships without planes, I don’t think that giving the sailors rum is high on the agenda any more lol

Morgans spiced, Lambs Navy Rum,Overproof, Rhaki,Metaxa,Glenmorangie,Glenfiddich,And if I could get my hands on some, a nice bottle of Dalmore…..

sadly, I’d have to sell my tackle to buy a bottle of the bugger !

[TF_D.W.]

Dalmore?? Surely you are not that skint!!!!

http://www.whiskyshop.com/Shop/Detail.aspx?whisky=Dalmore-Single-Highland-Malt-12-year-old-Whisky&pid=2766

Never got on with Metaxa. My ex-father in law used to drink it & never again for me!!!

[Corndawg moderatorParticipant]

No, not that one, I am talking the good stuff… 40 year old… last seen at £1600 a bottle…

And I fell in love with Mataxa in Crete on our honeymoon in 2003…. same time I found Rhaki,and Crete red wine…. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
