Every time we go to the outlaws I take a decent bottle of red. What we get served is Rioja that tastes like a matador’s washed his smalls in it*. So, I now make a point of feeding the pot plants with the Rioja** and filling my own glass with my own wine. Both of which actions are performed while glaring pointedly at father-in-law. </p> <p>*Does all Rioja taste like that? I’ve never wanted to try others to find out.<br /> **Some of them are still alive. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=36805#post-103288 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:02:56 +0000 Vertically Challenged Giant 103288@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Polish lager and jager bombs.</p> <p>There is no comma between Polish and lager there. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=36805#post-103287 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:02:50 +0000 godly1966 103287@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>fernandomando you are supposed to sign the pledge not drink it! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=36805#post-103286 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:02:30 +0000 Al OPecia 103286@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Bomb-bay Sapphire - nice. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=36805#post-103284 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 14:53:11 +0000 Ironduke 103284@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Blessed thanks Umpire.

Possibly because I live in a pub and everyone else stuck to beer most of the day.<br /> I did manage to neck 3 bottles of Champagne, a bottle of vintage Port and the thick end of a bottle of Cognac, but barely made a dent in the magnum of Claret. Oh and now I come to think of it some PX Sherry too.<br /> Can kidneys hurt? </p>
