I was a victim of sobriety 

My condolences 

Had a day off the ale yesterday. Mainly because I'd drank so much the day before (father in laws funeral) and the mere thought of alcohol imbibing was enough to dry wretch. Plus the dangly thing in the back of my throat was the size of my ball bag. Never again. Til 6pm anyway.

I've drank far, far less in lockdown that usual, I like going out and usually get leathered on a Friday and Saturday with my mates down the local, I don't drink during the week either, no matter what's going on. Im certainly financially better off for not spending £80~£100 per week down the pub.

We've got shit loads of booze here at home, but it rarely gets drunk, unless we have friends around....which clearly hasn't been happening, because of lockdown and the fact I have no friends

Looking at my Untappd checkins, I've had 14 cans/bottles in 9 weeks. No Tuesday night pool or sessions on Friday/Saturday means it's been a very quiet (and cheap) time

Apart from a few Stella’s on VE Day I’ve not had a stitch of ale in nearly 4 weeks. 

Not drinking till I can buy a draught pint with money served by another person.

Having seen some of your antics in the past with Mr Mathew I'm amazed Sooty and Sue stuck by you as long as they did.

If there's one thing worse than drinking to forget, it's forgetting to drink. That's the moto on Th'East Midlands Whites club crest, though it's in latin -  Si illic 'peius unum de potandi modo obliviscatur fiet ei bibere immemores - and has to go round twice to fit in

You missed the latin word for " duck "

That's true. When I first came here and a taxi driver says "that'll be £4 then ducks" I'm thinking "hang on, what the fuck's this all about". Bunged him a fiver and shouted "keep the change" as I legged it!

Ta Cock, is not a word you use outside of Leigh when you get served a pint.

How odd?

home brew from rotting fruit?

Lad I used to work with reckons in the ratings’ mess on naval ships they used to get a melon,, take out the seeds from as small a hole as possible. Get a few tins of brasso and pour it in, put a small nail in the bottom, get a french stick with the ends chopped off and allow the resulting liquid to run though the entire length.

the melon was there to add taste and the french stick to take the abrasive stuff out of the brasso.

 

edit - could someone try it and report back?
