I do not have a bearskin vest but I do have Sloe Gin and it rocks. I should go to bed but I am all upended from not going to bed until 8.30am this morning.

How does one persuade oneself to go to bed?

Strike yourself in the temple forcibly seven times. Repeat as neccessary.

Would they stop chasing after me if I said I also sang "If You Want Blood" by AC/DC as well?

It's entirely possible. I'll be the first to admit that it's a very easily swayed mob. If I recall correctly, it spent two score weeks waging a war on the color red and the number six, only to be distracted at the moment of victory when someone spotted a Dance Dance Revolution machine. And I think we all know what happened after that.

I think I may be late to this thread, as drunking has already begun. Anyway, I'm drunk. Someone salute me. Also, I want the proper kind of drunk where I won't remember this tomorrow, instead of the drunk where I do things that I will regret but remember tomorrow. Also, I like edits and the backspace button. Backspace, you're my only friend.

Chelsea's hopes of emerging from their current crisis to win a third straight Premiership title suffered a major setback on Saturday as Jose Mourinho's side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at Liverpool.

A fourth-minute goal from Dirk Kuyt and a stunning 25-yard strike from Jermaine Pennant allowed Rafael Benitez's side to establish a stranglehold on the match inside the first 20 minutes, and Chelsea never looked capable of breaking it.


Oh yes! I didn't even see this yesterday, but how awesome is this? This really takes the edge off the hangover.

I made a brief stopover to Booze Island yesterday, but before I could get too out of hand with the natives, something important that oddly enough didn't involve booze came up.

I am going to start drinking at lunch time. I have an endorphin rush from coming out of a job interview this morning relatively unscathed, and it being my birthday, and I have the rest of the day free and it's cold but sunny and and and ...

A beer for lunch and wine this evening. I want an aperetivo first, maybe a cold, clear sherry, and later there will probably be whisky involved.

It's Friday afternooon, and apart from cog, noone's posted to this thread. This MUST mean either one of the following

- yer a bunch of liars
- yer a bunch of teetotallers
- yer forgetful, because yer already drunk
- yer just not bovvered anymore with announcing that you're about to drink, because doing so would consume as much time as drinking
- yer drinking so much that ye don't have time to post, or a combination of this and the immediately above

Soooo... which is it? Hm? Hm?!

For the record [threadrot] I'm only having soft drinks today, having had my share and more over the last 2 evenings... Tomorrow is altogether a different kettle of rum tho.

I have my last two exams (of the current set) tomorrow, after about two weeks of revision - and yes, they're on a Saturday. As luck would have it, I've been invited to a house party that evening.

Somehow, I suspect that I won't be good for much on Sunday...

and it being my birthday,

happy happy to you cog!

I will sadly be very sober this evening as I will be doing surgery on my herd of boxen.
Please toast cog for me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COG!!!

I'm already more drunk than I should be. I have to get up at OHFUCKINGHELL o'clock tomorrow to go to a family wedding in fucking Dorchester, but the prospect of having to wear a suit all day has driven me to the booze. Well, that and it's eviction night on CBB.

Stoat can you toast Cog for me? I believe it's a rule someplace that toasts have to be done with booze...

cheers y'all. I had a great night. A Boozy restaurant meal,Catalan style, then cheesy dancing to Spanish hits of God knows what decade for the next 3 hours. All in all a good night. Photo to folloe if I can sort it out.

Well, here I am with 2 friends, after much boozing, dancing to a 90's hit of some sort. No AC/DC involved at all.

"Well it's lonesome a way from your kindred and all.. Where the campfire at night, wherwe the wild dingos call... But there's nothing so lonesome so dull or so dreer, than to stand in a pub with no beer..."

To end this night of total drunken beerness, I am eating a cheese and pickle sandwich.... Maybe it will magically prevent the hangover I fear is soon to arrive...

And's soem speling erorrs to maek it moer buileivabkle

Let's see....

Just received first series Doctor Who as belated Christmas present.

Have alcohol in fridge.

(looks at DVD set, then fridge a couple of times.)

Oh yeah, I know what I'm doing this Saturday night.

Be warned: mixing booze and Doctor Who can lead to weirdness. For the past month or so I've been getting drunk and watching Doctor Who DVDs, which eventually segues into drunken physical intimacy with a friend. I won't go into details, just let me say that having strange sexual associations with Daleks and Tom Baker isn't as cool as it sounds.

Work was shite today, so as soon as I got home I got to drinking...

Ah alcohol, where have you been all my life?
What's that? Inside my belly, attacking my liver?
That's a good lad!

its ten in the morning and im about to find somewhere in this dirty city to get a couple of drinks before my Viva assesments start, twenty minutes waffling about Art (capital A) requires mental lubrication dammit

failing that i have, Steve, my hipflask, and i will be "irishing" up my starbucks.

if your in birminghell and the guy in the coffee shop next to you is wearing shades and scruffy stubble that cant quite be called a beard yet, please ignore the mumbling - he is cursing the Art World and all the low lifes that teach it.

You're wrong, it's as exactly as cool as it sounds.

To celebrate Liverpool's fine victory against the Hammers, I shall be experimental, and have a drink, a proper liqour drink to balance out the 2 pints of Kirin in the pub. Namely, I shall have unto meself, one green tea, with Kahlúa! YAY! It'll, possibly horribly, be like mixing tea and coffee. A never ventured-to libation in these parts.

I've had a few boozes already, but having just realised that due to a World of Warcraft-induced time distortion effect, it's actually nearly eleven o'clock rather than, as I thought, sometime a little after eight, I've just ordered a curry and bought a bunch more boozes in so the boozing can begin in earnest.

This time I may even get round to watching a movie.

Hear Hear! Just sampling my Green Tea/Kahlúa concoction. Man, I could get used to this. Now, if I only had some Créme de Menthe...

Second the watching stuff too. Got the last ep of Heroes + The Illusionist on the laptop. Eeny meeny..

Watching's a tricky one- I have a bunch of horror DVDs I haven't watched yet... I also just got the Twin Peaks boxed set and bought the second season of Lost in the sale at Woolie's in an effort to stave off my Big Brother withdrawals...

I'm thinking maybe Lost. Shortish episodes, and it doesn't really matter how fucked I am.

it's not really the same.
however, this dusty ass pile of files is making me veer steadily off course... i think this ship's compass may be one of those that points to what my heart desires.

Our nation's monarch (the woman-skinned lizard known as Beatrix) is turning 69 today, if that isn't a reason for drinking I don't know what is.
