I appreciate that my preference for Glenlivet makes me a bit of a wimp, but I assume that you feel that the game is worth the candle.

Bear in mind, however, that I am still trying to master the art of making frozen margeritas; I am not wholly unfamiliar with the brain damage bit.

On the other hand I never want anyone to put me out of my misery; I just want to murder anyone who enquires why I didn’t drink a pint of water before I went to bed…

Don’t knock it chenier, it’s one of the few substances you can ingest that can provide all the symptoms of heavy metal poisoning without having to actually contain any metals. Also the hangovers allow one to briefly understand the entire shape and nature of space-time…for about a quarter of a second…just before you begin begging nearby strangers to kill you.

Lagavulin.

I see from the tasting notes that the ‘cover continues when water is added, with some plastic buckets’.

I’m just going to stick with the Glenlivet, if it’s all right with you…

I am patial to Lagavulin, which may be why I am shunned at family funerals, weddings and the reading of various wills.

For shame June, all ferrymen should adhere to the principles of Charon, their patron, and do their best to usher you to the other side. He should at least have asked if you wished it to be integrated into a hot toddy. Don’t these people know we’ve been a nation of sots since the middle ages?

Magnetite , I have problems with the weights in the clock…and its dated 1793
but Laphroaig is an elegant beverage, even when the barman on the Folkestone- Boulogne ferry raises his eyebrows a touch at 6.35 a.m on a cold winter morning

..and yet so damaging to others, June - like when you awake to discover that you have driven a grandfather clock through your nearest and dearest while under its influence. I blame the peat.

Laphroaig is very gentle on the system

When it comes to the Wail the trick is to drink a large alcoholic beverage before venturing anywhere near it.

You must look elsewhere, chenier. I may have fractured my sense of moral outrage on the Mail’s latest monster-under-the bed. I just hope it knits together, or I’m storming Northcliffe House.

I’m not sure you are on the right thread; the Daily Wail is always in need of horror stories, and if you play your cards right you could get the dosh before we all die next Wednesday…

I had a bout of ‘misunderstanding’ the other week. Went through a six-pack of Andrex and became so pale that objects could be glimpsed through me. Someone should tell Welsh Water that they have a golden export opportunity here.
