šŸ“š The Sotonians Lockdown & Beyond Diaries

Depends how long it was since the last £200 order

2.5 weeks

Would you spend £80 a week in the pub, assuming you went there as often as you are presently drinking at home?

Is this tipple better than the average of the vast mix of drinks you’d choose at various pubs?

Is it depreciating you’re finances quicker than you can replenish them?

I hope those three questions put your mind at rest😁

Some of these beers are Ā£5 a can so it’s not a volume issue - however they up to 12%

As for funding - It’s saved me a trip to Le Gavroche which would have resulted in open wallet surgery

That’s not happening this year, so unless you’ve put on the pounds(weight wise), you’ve saved pounds(make believe fiat kind).

Watch the online prices.
Assume you have money to invest(and i’d advise filling up while you can) give it one, maybe two months and get the pick. Three to six if you want the best bargains(not the best choice).

Strangely, the quality beer prices will probably go up quite soon. Time lag for quality wine/spirits* will ā€œflatten the curveā€ somewhat(there’s an irony there).

*I’m trying to get hold of a bottle of rum from somewhere that closed at least a decade ago but is still releasing. More expensive each year obvs.
I need to hurryšŸ¤”

Apart from that dump all fiat wealth, it might just prove worthless soon and wine a o/d is a fine way to go.

Sticking with the wine(your advice/comments as a true wine wanker would be appreciated), ever tried Two Hands? Australian(generally Shiraz, but just bought C/S as well) and very nice from the little i’ve tried.

I’m watching this now.

Macca didn’t sound old, he sounded shit. Someone needs to tell him rather than pandering to him. He cannot sing anymore.

We’ve had our booking cancelled at The Fat Duck for my Birthday next month :weary:

Lizzo has bossed this home concert live aid thing. Best sing choice and best voice. She’s great.

Jagger is proving that age isn’t the reason people sound bad. Surprisingly, he can still sing.

I’m now confused… it’s called a digital encore…
You Tube to catch the whole show bits I missed.

Think of the Pizza Hut you could get with the savings.

You could be a fat fuck instead.

Managed to get clippers to do my partner’s hair. :haircut_man:
So far he’s avoided it. He reckons he can last out until we book a week off at end to May to stay in our flat (so hoping there may be a little more freedom then :crossed_fingers:). He won’t have to do any video calls for a week so if I do a horrific job he can avoid utter humiliation and wear a cap in our walks.

I’ve wanted to grow out my hair after a rather severe cut a while back so I am all good.

No worries. Just prowl round the garden for tomorrow’s snail porridge, then squirt some liquid nitrogen into a pot of yoghurt for afters. Sprinkle with umami, and serve with a Little Chef napkin. Sorted. :+1::+1:

So caught the 1st couple of hours in the background before it went Network.

Loved the living room, stripped down Mr Brightside, Adam Lambert with Mad World, Jennifer Hudson & Memories, and chortled at Jack Blacks fitness tips.
Not sure if I enjoyed Rita Ora for her song or her ā€œcurvage exposureā€
Will catch the post Macca parts in the coming days.
I also noticed some parts of the media having a dig at it ā€œfor raising Ā£150m for WHOā€ What utter lies. They cannot have watched all the put your wallet away stuff.

Much of a job? :thinking:

And do you have to kill it yourself, or is that done for you? :thinking::thinking:
