2 quick glasses of wine with my friend who will head back to Singapore next week and home to pack. Meant to be up at 3.30am to get a flight. 
🍻🍷 The Map of 🇲🇷 Booze thread whatever the title says (or is changed to when moderately intoxicated)
On the wagon tonight.
Tomorrow I will be playing God by balancing the recent diagnosis of my brother-in-law’s heart-condition against my desire to get him off his tits for his 60th birthday.
For this experiment in omnipotence, I will be using bottled BrewDog’s Punk IPA*
*concerned over this forum’s independence, pap has insisted that I couch any endorsement of BrewDog (the best brewery in the world) in balanced language that points out that other (inferior) beers are available.

* This is clearly a ridiculous notion. There is no such thing as too much gin.
- Some dodgy flat on the very edge of Southampton, Weston way. I am sixteen. The number of times I have been drunk is probably still in the double figures. I’m there with my best mate (sorry Fatso).
We’re in the kitchen, working out an appropriate dosage of alcohol, when some bloke who looks like a tubby Freddy Mercury spots us, takes us under his wing and decides to impart dating advice. Despite appearances, the man is a clear heterosexual, and has tips.
“You on the pull tonight, lads? If you are, give them gin”
“Gin?”
“Ah, it gets them all depressed, you see. They sit on the stairs, crying that nobody loves them. That’s when you step in, put your arm round them and say ‘I love ya, darling’”.
I told this story during my best man’s speech at his wedding, immediately asking his newlywed wife what she was drinking.
“Gin”, she replied. LOLs ensued.

I’ve probably told that story before.
What is a Black Russian with Amaretto?
That’s what I’m totally pickled on tonight.

Could be worse I guess. At least you weren’t humping pigs.

Just about recovered. Still have a nagging headache. That will be half a pint of XO cognac that I thought would wash down a couple of bottles of South African red. We ate at the Tom Kerridge pop up event in Limewood. That boy can cook.
Ok, stage one at the pub completed sponsored by East Coast IPA.
A nice, quaffable pint and brother in law is still alive.
Now back home and the Brewdog is being rolled out.
See you in the morning.

So I have a missed call from a number my phone doesn’t know. Thinking it may be important, I give it a dial back, and it sounds exactly like my mate Dave, except it’s bletch, in his cups, with a bit of previous for pocket-dialing.
A brief description of what he’s doing ensues, but in the middle of that, he advertises a brewing firm that everyone is already suspicious of. I actually say “I can’t fucking believe you’re advertising this via audio, you cunt”.
I’ve just realised I paid for the call, and therefore the advert.

Well Brewdog, it’s alright for you hobbitses, but us folk from outside the Shire Brewdog have trouble with pocket dialling because most of us have 11 dialling - capable digits.
Whatever.
I am now in my local drinking a very serviceable Abbott Ale.
I expect to have a hangover tomorrow morning…
Positive Pete from The Other Place who is well known to the Aussie Saints crew (He used to commute from Bracknell to Brisbane for work) and also joined our Massive on our Arnhem Tour called me last week.
'He was working on a 6 week project consulting in the Magic Kingdom and needed to do a Visa Run (30 days max stay)
Duly accepted, and he walked in the door of our gaff at 2pm to be given his Pint and Full English
Then it was time to talk sh1t.
Then it was time to go to the Beer Festival.
Then it was time for Bullfrogs and Friday Karaoke.
Then it was time for Full English Breakfast
Then it was time to go the Beer Festival
Then it was time to go to Barasti to watch the game
Then it was a call to Lost Property to ask them if anyone had handed in my Liver, last seen heading to the sea screaming NO MORE!
He’s now safely on the Metro to the Airport.
Papster - he needs to be invited to join up

Think that’s more of a job for a SaintsWeb Full Member than someone with no account on the site. The more the merrier though, as per.
Been a cunt of a week… so… 
I went to a drug and alcohol policy briefing session. Which made me pretty angry. So had 2 rum cocktails and a g&t.

Champagne. My partner has a little celebration and for me it’s medicinal as witness quite a serious road rage incident on my way home from work.
