I'll be out and about on the Island later this evening with my Favourite Scientologist in tow. Expect about 9 pm EST for us to be sitting on the rum-swept beach making silly Transformers jokes. It's been a while since we've done that.

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.

I'll raise a glass to that!

Sadly, I must wait to raise a glass.

What's it gonna be - beer, crisps and pub; wine, cheese, and restaurant or just booze booze and sleep?

I can't drink yet. For today is a sensible day at work where all the senior people are around and nobody's leaving or returning or had a bad week or anything so nobody's been able to come up with an excuse to drink.

I have four hours to wait. Do not mock me with your happy happy drinking thread.

Happy drinking! Beloved beer, booze and bacchanalia! I'm not quite there yet, but by Jove, I cannot wait to lay my greasy paws on a nice cold pint, and then, later, have a chilli-to-the-max kebab in Stoke Newington (universally acknowledged to be the place for a London bab).

As my beloved is away I have no choice but to chum up with my crusty art-mate G, who'll be celebratin' his new (first?) job as a runner/slave-dog for an Old Street post-production company. Run, G, run!

So, who's metaphorically with me?

This thread is dangerous. I've only been up for a couple of hours, but I'm already trying to rationalize the Candlemas libations.

I've only got Jack Daniels in the house, but it's 6.30 so let's do it! I may be going out for some beers later as well. I rationalise it by how cold it is here. If I could just find a St.Bernard dog with a little barrel on its collar I would have precisely zero guilt about lying on the floor with my mouth open under the tap.

In the words of the Vikings from the tony curtis film
"if we drink we will die...
if we don't drink we will die...
so lets raise our glasses high and we'll have another drink.

oh we will drink and
we will drink
we will drink and we will drink"


etc

And if that motherfucker won't come out we'll drag his ass out and make him drink.

I have a work meeting to attend early early early in the morning before working all day. That, combined with me waking this morning thrown against the rocks by the surf of Booze Island, naked and broken, leads me to believe my stay on the Island tonight will be brief.

Guess who's drunk agian? Go on, guess! OI'll give you a hint: the drunkeneer for this evening has also forsaken tyhe "backspace"key (excepte for the times whe n he forget that button was forbidden) for tonight. Moreover, I'm drunk, and fairly bored.

Also, friends don't let friends posrt while drunk. Asshole.

It's well past 6 pm, I've got a bottle of cheap red, some nice food in the fridge, and the night is looking goody. My good friend MR. A. V. de Bronff Marzipan is gonna spin some of his minimal moody beats later tonight up West End way, and yours truly will be there, tipsy, tipping hat courteously to the young folk milling around, cane securely tucked under arm in case the arthritis becomes too much, a glass of scotch on the rocks with a beer chaser. And I will most definitely by grinning that silly vegetable grin of mine, teeth tinted a tired red.

No AC/DC tonight, I hesitate to venture.

Another Friday evening, another trip to Booze Island beckons! Pints of barley/hops/yeast-tainted liquids will make an appearance, as will heated pieces off dead animals, possibly accompanied by the fat scorched tubers of Solanum tuberosum. As for AC/DC, I have my doubts. Anyone else visiting La Isla de Los Borrachos tonight? See ya all in the Ethanosphere!

I will be tippling some whisky to numb the dull angst of a stuttering romantical situation. Knockando tonight. Anyone have any idea how this compares to Glenmorangie?
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
23:05 / 13.02.07
How did that Knockando turn out for you, cog? I've never had it, but I love Glenmorangie. And, to be completely honest, pretty much any single-malt Scotch put in front of me.

I'm drinking Dogfish Head 120-minute IPA, which is 20-fucking-percent alcohol and is the best beer ever. You can hardly ever find it, though. Ridiculously rich, complex and just plain delicious. And it makes your head warm.

I've finished my errands for the day. I received Tom Waits' Orphans as a V-Day gift.

I think this leaves me very little choice but to spend some time on Booze Island.
 
 
COG
18:56 / 14.02.07
Me want the Tom Waits! But I've got no lovely person to give it to me. Bah!

The Knockando is doing it's job of warming my head after a good work meeting and a sunny walk home. I plugged up my new laptop speakers today as well, so I can now up the ante in the battle of the neighbours: special music edition. And no more sore ears from too much headphone use.

Back to the booze, I have pork chops and veg, plus a nice little bottle of Bock Damm to wash it down. The closest thing to bitter that I can easily find here in Spain.

BOOZE ISLAND!!!

I love it here.

Jesus, I'm posting here again and I'm only 2 posts further on from my last one. I thought I'd cut my drinking down. Or are you guys just wimps?? (note to self:examine attitudes towards masculinity and boozing)

Aaaaanyway. I'm going out for cocktails tonight. It's actually with someone who I regularly practice my Spanish with, so it's not really drinking is it? In fact it's probably tax deductable.

I think I might have been drunk all week, and I feel a little bit, you know, pained and unwell, haggard, sleep-deprived, and possibly stinky. And I am visiting in-laws tomorrow. However, it is Friday and I just handed in my notice at work which calls for celebration.

Decisions, decisions....

Favourite Scientologist just wrote to say that he assumed that I had discovered the TARDIS as he has not heard from me in nearly a month. He asked when I returned to the here and now if I would like to go for multiple bottles of Newcastle.

Hmm.

And it is Christopher Eccleston's birthday.

Hmm.

The lokalmatadore are my current favourite drinking band:

Ich liebe König Alkohol bis zum Delirium. Oh oh oh"

Cheap beer and german punk, what a combination.

This is blatantly offtopica, and something close to spam as well. But I've been wanting to cover a 101st post with spots for ages.

Ooookay. Time for lil ol' me to head out to London for what may be the most damaging of my birthday celebrations to date.

Monopoly Board Pub Crawl.

Hey, I've been thirty for a week now. It's time to do something stupid and, no-doubt, painful.

I'll see you all on the other side.

Monopoly Board Pub Crawl. You know that's how Lister ended up on Red Dwarf, right? Good luck dude...

I am at work. I don't usually work Saturdays so I've decided that when I finish in an hour I'm going to get pissed on white wine and plat MtG. I haven't soberly decided to get drunk in ages, w00t!
