The totally off-topic thread

[beardoc]

I introduce mrsdrron as my 1st and 2nd wife.After 24 years we were remarried by Elvis in Vegas.Now in our 38th year.I am normally referred to as "stupid".
Partner was always my business partner.

Maybe it's a generational thing. Most people I know of my age and down would understand "partner" to mean domestic partner in most cases.

Mind you, I'm not pretending to be an expert on "my generation", so I'm willing to stand corrected.

Surely you didn't think I meant the religious type ?
I've got too much cheap wine left to drink before I start on the Chartreuse or whatever it is they make.

That stuff is deadly. I downed four shots of that once with chilli sauce as my mates at work tried to get me plastered and spewing. Unfortunately for them, they failed. They tried the same thing on the 2IC and her sister the previous year, and it only took one shot each for them and they were already yakking.

As for the cheap wine, what the hell are you doing, boy?!

I do the same. Sometimes you have to take a punt on whether it will good, or just plonk, but you're pretty much doing the same if you go to Dan Murphy's but gambling far less money.

I've had several cases in the last 6 months, with an average price of around $3.50 a bottle. That includes a case of sparkling shiraz too (and it was damned good for the price!).:mrgreen:

At the moment I'm drinking some WA sangria of all things ! I bought 12 1 litre cartons for $9.00 plus delivery and I tell you it's really nice,put it in the freezer to get it nice and cold ,put some ice and some mint leaves in a glass and it's fantastic with a chicken salad or something light.
Since I started using this site I have had excellent value wines,and I've had some premium wines at crazy prices.

Every time I seem to fly somewhere it involves drinking. Travel seems to make me drink more.

Ditto. Travel is often involved with entertainment.... and the two go hand in hand.

I'm back on the booze now I've had my ~3 week break from the evil stuff. Co-incidentally, my next long haul is on Thursday ... see the connection?

Umm.....let me guess.....you're scared of flying so in the few days before you have a flight you drink to steady your nerves ...?..

Try flying weekly.

Friday was extremely bad and I slept through Saturday morning, missed golf and most of Saturday was a write off. Sunday was not much better and I slept through Monday morning and got to work late.

Not really. Always over indulge when it is free.
