I know them. I read their whisky reviews.

I've been weighing up opening a bottle of champagne this evening. I've only got ten cigarettes left, including the one that's currently lit, so that might leave me short depending on how long I remain awake.

It's doubtful in our state of quarantine that my usual technique of ringing a cab firm and sending them via the petrol station or nearest open shop for a fresh 20 pack and a selection of paracetamol would be agreed to.

Truly these are the end of days.

I'll just have to cut my cloth accordingly. The bottle is open.

I've only ever used it to coat the inside of a cocktail shaker and pour the excess away. To be honest, I was under the impression that it was poisonous in higher quantities than a quick swill.

Research has shown type

that there are two ways of making Angostura-based cocktails (such as a pink gin) - 'out' and 'in'. 'Out' means the 'coat and chuck' as described above, and 'in' means 'leave it in so the drinker can appreciate the subtle flavour which really does grow on you yes

It was, in very sad circumstances, that I discovered that bitters of Angostura were Trinidadian. sad yes

Angostura is a place in T&B as far as I now understand.

I'm definitely in the out camp, and there I remain, prepared to die on that hill if necessary.

So long as you don't mind me leaving it in, no-one has to die.

No no, worry not, I'm an unapologetic liberal - practically American. You drink whatever your heart desires.

I've got champagne for this evening, on account of how it's my birthday.

Enjoy your champagne. A pint of water and a cocodamol before bed is wise.

Do you want to do a special Countess album commentary tonight?

by Nightjar Fri May 29, 2020 4:59 pm

Oops.

Wrong thread.
