    We all know our dear friend OldGoat banned the usage of a certain wine in this forum.

    However, has anyone actually seen it in the shops recently?

    Or Black Tower?

    Or Bull's Blood?

    Or do any of you know what I am rambling on about?

    Any Ould drinkies you don't see any more?

    Corona Lemonade for example?

    Babycham! Remember the ad....."Ooooh, I'd LOVE a Babycham!" Yes, I used to drink it when I went out with my 'gang' in my teenage days. I thought I was the bee's knees even though I didn't even like the stuff! Himself used to always buy either B--- N-- or Black Tower at Christmas. Made us feel terribly sophisticated it did! Amazing what eejits teenagers can be in any era. :D Will there be a ban on mentioning Black Tower, sorry......B---- T---- now?

    Ah the height of sophistication in my teens was a snowball! A measure of advocaat with a small bottle of lemonade shaken up and squirted into the glass - controlled by the bar-tender's thumb across the top of the bottle! And a cherry-on-a-stick!

    Bull's blood wasn't half bad. I think you can still get it under a fancier name now.

    Remember when Fuerstenberg was launched and everyone went mad at the cheap (and very strong) lager?

    I know the name of the Holy Lady in Azure is not to be spoken, but can it be asked as to why Her Cerulean Divinity is so feared? :D

    Janey......Janey Mac. More evil drink talk.

    CIDONA - A superior tincture, available in all good corner shops. Rots your teeth but, although it causes it, it doesn't make you laugh at your own....em....flatulence.

    I used to love Cidona. Fanta orange made me feel sick, as did Coca-cola, so Cidona was the one I went for. Since I went to England and had Tango Apple though, I can't be dealing with Cidona at all. It just tastes of chemicals.

    Beruthial is the wine buff and at her behest the offending *cough* wine is a banned topic. I happen to agree with her on this.*

    One thing I do miss seeing as frequently is a large bottle of guinness. I used to be fascinated at seeing the variety of iceberg shapes of stout-head floating in halfpint glasses at the bar.



    *She scares me so I agree with ANYTHING she says. :o

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    My mistake OG. I thought 'twas yourself that banned IT! I remember Snowballs as well. That was another of my go to's when out with the gang in a pub. All my male friends would drink lager, and all my female friends drank vodka. Oh you can see how well I fitted in, can't you? :rolleyes:

    Now I am waiting expectantly, waiting to see what fate has in store for you. The silence is quite unsettling, isn't it, Steve? Unsettling. Steve......oh yoo-hoo! Are you feeling unsettled yet? :D(seems like while the cat is away.....etc)

    Get prepared to bow to the wonderful Ber. (Not really, better to run for cover) :D

    It seems to have escaped everyone's notice that earlier Mods are gone from our forum and are not likely to be in...

    It's probably some sort of spell to summon them though. Somewhere, Ber is sitting peacefully doing something when s/he feels a disturbance in the Force. The sound of someone invoking the name of the B.N. on O&O. Now it is time to take up his/her Modship again and bring vengeance down upon the forum, so that never again shall that unholy name be spoken.

    Amen.

    Yes, I have been trying summoning spells, not of past mods (who incidentally should really not be the subject of discussion in their absence) but in other areas of my life. They do not work.

    Maybe a kick ass Viking Curse written in Ogham script will do the job better :rolleyes:
