   Not an offer to buy a virtual round, just interested in what you're all imbibing.

   I'm on a heady mix of cans in a handsome jug. Thwaites Champion Mild, 3.2%ABV, 440ml plus Abbot Ale, 5%ABV, 500ml.

   It smacks of the mild and bitter I used to drink when I went in the Row Barge every night. In the days before Brakspears sold the family silver. But don't get me started.

   Mrs Scroat's away, so it's a pizza and Citizen Kane tonight.

   2 x Hobgoblin, 1 x Fuller's Golden Pride, Ozzie Shiraz (Lindeman's Bin 50), rounded off by a dram or two of The Macallan. Pizza for me, Mrs O'Pecia, Miss O'Pecia the Elder, and Her Bloke.

   Was going to settle down in front of my new 9 disc Star Wars boxed set, but it doesn't work. West Wing it is.

   Getting a dog tomorrow - a Springador.

   Jesus, it's only 8 of the clock!

   Golden Pride is nice though. Recommend McEwan's Champion, especially this weather.

   Just on the second Hobgoblin actually - the Abbott Ale is super and we have it on draft in the two locals I frequent. I think we had the Champion on as a guest Ale a few months ago. Most acceptable.

   One of Tesco's 3 for £12 finest for us tonight.

   It dipped to 4 for £8 midweek, but due to roar back up to 2 for £15 in midweek, when the owner sells the contents of his wine cellar.

    Two-thirds of a bottle of Cape Pinotage I found lurking in the bread-bin. Maybe a couple of snorts of Port before I trouble the scorer no further.

    I really would recommend Balvenie Doublewood single malt. Quick nip and off to bed. Well when teenage daughter comes home.
    Make that a double...

    Improvise with a 2" wood screw and a claw hammer.

    Failing that, twat with hammer and filter through coffee papers / fine mesh colander.
    We have been here before. Many, many times. Oh yes.

    Oh god! Sometimes (well only January really) I wonder why I bother owning a specialist real wine shop.

    I do have a few very local ales and one or two other odd beers. Innis and Gunn rum cask is one of them. I let my daughter do the beer buying.

    Tonight I will be drinking Fossili's Gavi del Comune di Gavi with seafood pasta at a mate's.
    Also going to drink a bottle of Greek. Ximanavro from Alpha Estates in Macedonia. F*ing brilliant. Don't knock it 'till you've tried it.
