    Babycham is a sparkling Perry, cider made with pears. Was sweet and bubbly, perfect for beginners :D

    Just home from the park, in a bit of a funk today and can't shake it, was beautiful down the park all the same, nice to see the internal waterways full of water.



    What in the name of jaysis is baby cham poochie?
    God, I'm old!


    When I was two and a half, my sister and cousins fed me Baby Chams at my cousins wedding. Apparently, I loved them and got incredibly ****faced. My mother, none the wiser, had me a the DR's the next day. If the writers of Shameless are ever looking for new material....

    Feeling very inferior with all this gin debate, no idea what you're talking about.

    Don't feel inferior about not liking something :)

    Ritz was my drink of choice (excluding Babychamgate) when I first started going out mid-late 80s. Lovely.

    I once heard that Ritz was known as the 'leg opener'.
    I used to drink the smirnoff ice myself and to try look cool a pernod and blackcurrant even though I had no idea what pernod was.

    Back from the meeting at one of my neighbour’s apartments...

    ...turns out that the issue of the clamping of residents’ cars and the lack of adequate bins is the least of our worries. It seems that one person on the Management Company/Residents Committee has been telling us porkies for the past 5 years and that the managing agents have been keeping us all in the dark, except when to notify us of yet another fee increase without any justification...and

    ...the accounts for the past three years simply do not add up in any way, despite supposedly being audited....the plot thickens...

    PM , I think it was the Pernod that was called the leg opener :eek:

    It's lashing rain here , well , somewhat typical for what would have been EP weekend.

    I'd say there's a certain level of cooking in the majority of management company books.

    When I was looking to buy management fees were one of the reasons I didn't go with the new build near me.

    Complete lack of value for money.

    I am so over this weather.

    I don't mind rain, I'll happily throw myself infront of the TV, but this "it's nice and sunny let's go out... Get everyone organised... Its p*ssing rain... Get everyone unorganised and the sun is back out" pretty much on an hourly cycle... Is doing my feckin head in.

    Well mam, I can definitely tell you that it certainly was not that :D
    Yea, indeed another momentous weekend that's not happening this year.
    I'll miss the ploughing at the end of this month, it's an annual day out for myself and the small fella.
