If you've everything done it's grand, if you're running around last minute shopping it's hell on Earth. All I had to do today was buy wine for tomorrow and that was done as soon as the offie opened. So relax now.

The awkward bit is I'm stuck beside an ex and her father (forner teacher of mine), who had no idea I was with his daughter and is all talk. Great fun dropping the odd innue do he wouldn't pick up on, and watching her squirm!

Guinness - it's great!

Sittin back watchin' Distant Sky with the good lady, glass or several of red...bliss.


This weather. Don't give a fuck how cold it gets as long as it's not sideways raining

 :laugh:  is that a meterological term?

It's the wind that bothers me. Don't mind the cold and even the rain is doable as long as it's not windy along with it

Listening to people at work lose their shit over SuperValu Park. 😂

Meeting someone for an actual coffee, instead of the usual hape of pints it usually becomes.

Jesus, I had to check if it was the pleasure or peeve thread there

I'm off it for January. Starting to get cabin fever (beer in the fridge & wine in the press don't help matters) but I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard.

Was working the Missus' market stall last Saturday, so doned the 'Winter Warmers'.
Christ! Long John's are just gloriously cosy in weather like this.
Left them on all day, slept in them, left them on all day Sunday and slept in them again!
Begrudgingly had to peel them off myself for a much needed shower Monday morning.   :laugh:

Straight into the wash with them and back on again this morning!  ::)

Get it out of the fridge quick or you'll have no chance, tis too alluring glistening in the fridge light

Out of the fridge and into my cavenous maw. The idea was to avoid the pub, more a money saving thing than a non-alcoholic month, but I just haven't been bothered. Knowing my luck they'll go out of date!

My dry January lasted about a day and a half and didn't start until about the 3rd.

Drinking is a rather simple pleasure in itself. Until it gets complicated that is  :laugh:

That's a great idea!

The socks I'm wearing (I do change them unlike you!  :laugh: ) add about an inch to my height they are so thick!
