GPSguru Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Today, whilst picking the grand daughter up from school, I stopped off in the little seaside town to get a few things. As I walked through the pedestrian part, our old friend @JonC had come all the way from Essex to pay me a visit . There on the street corner (I kid you not) was a rather rotund geezer of about 50 with a neatly cropped beard, dressed as a bloody jester in red / green and ringing a hand bell, which was feck’in loud. To add insult to injury he was blabbering on about a load of old rubbish in an equally loud voice. I just looked at him and said, kin’ell you’re a long way from essex, but he just blankly looked at me 🤣 To make matters worse, on the way home I stopped at Tesco and as I walked in there as a bloke of about mid 20’s with shaved head and tat’s dressed in a full length bright orange dress. Even worse was the geezer with him, a bloke in his 50’s with a white jacket and wearing a cravat ! 😡 ffs, what is going on in this world !🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 We have a big fat bold guy near us who parades around in a lovely low cut linen frock. Tats all up his arms, calf high socks with sandals or crocs. A proper looker!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a normal day in your part of the world, I’m surprised you even noticed. How true is that, but twice in one day was taking the pish. 🙄🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely not with a mixer?!?! A good whisky should be sipped with a dash of water, or even better, the melt water of a single cube of ice. But sugary junk?! I expected better of you 🤦♂️ Unless you really did mean whiskey rather than whisky, in which case no mixer in the world can mask the taste 🤮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, spelling is OK with either Whisky, or Whiskey, although I usually associate the latter with bourbon's ...... bring on the JD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can (and in my house is) be drunk in pints. a decent measure of JD, 6-7 ice cubes and topped to the top of a pint glass with Coke Zero!

JD and coke is only to be drunk at events where the intention is to get pissed as drinking that much beer means you spend most of the evening emptying your bladder…. Im with @Andy135 a good malt is to be enjoyed on its on, no water, no ice and definitely no coke 😂😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
