Whats everyone drinking today

Funny you should ask, TheChaser, as just this week I've bought a few random bottles of all sorts seeing as it's 'Summer In Stoke' - and have been experimenting with the exotic mixtures to try and pretend there's some sun out...somewhere!

So, at the moment, I'm partaking of V-KAT (Dry Schnappes, 22%, £7.50 a litre from Iceland) with a dash of Tesco 50% fruit juice Pear and Lychee Squash, a load of ice and then some Tesco Cloudy Lemonade added to the brew.

Not bad at all.

Talking of Crabbie's products, allow me to put in a good word for their Strawberry and Lime Ginger Beer. I went to a Chester Races meeting recently where the company were sponsoring various races and they were giving out free sample tastes of their products onsite. This Strawberry one was particularly pleasing on the palate. In fact it was so nice that I made a pilgrimage to each part of the course where their 'free samples' vehicles and stands were set up...

I can well imagine one of our Chit Chat number washing down his 24 daily Peppa Pig Strawberry ice cream lollies with a crate or two of this marvellous drink. (I won't embarrass the Great Man by naming Tommy here).

hahaha!

D'OH

My mistake !!

May I also recommend a cheaper take on Pimms with "Jeeves" - same sort of thing but just £6 a litre from Tesco (17.5% alcohol) - or £4.50 for 70cl from B&M.

If you pour a decent slug into a high-ball glass, add a load of ice, give it a good mashing along with the Jeeves, then add a liberal dose of lime juice and top it up with Tesco lime flavoured soda water, it all makes for a very pleasant combination (adding a wedge of lime and a fresh mint leaf or two makes it even better).

Can I also recommend a delicious new cocktail called "The Count's Rocket Fuel".

Recipe :


7/14ths of a big bottle of Smirnoff

312/624ths of a big bottle of GlenTommy Bargain Price Whisky (£4.99 from all good off-licences and plenty of bad ones)

6 bottles of Stella

Pour the whole lot into a big punchbowl and drink it all down as fast as possible

For best results, drink before going out on a big night out in Wolverhampton or before taking on allcomers in the car park at Lakeside.

Excellent!

Alun, do you ever listen to 'Trust Darts' on the Colin Murray show on TalkSport?

It's where renowned darts players play one leg of 501 in their own homes (or wherever they are at the time) against their opponent over the airwaves. Each has to shout their score up as they go along - the point being; it's all done on trust.

They even have their walk-on music playing at the start of the match and have to say where they're walking from (one player this week said it was from Bargain Booze over the road!).
It's a brilliant laugh.

Cheers TT, I've heard of it but have so far not tuned in.

Alun, I think I heard Colin say earlier this week he'd put a separate special bit on the 'catch up' on TalkSport for it.

I'll try to find it for you.

Thank you.

i seen the bm stuff fake pimms, never got it but shuts at 8 plenty time

the ginger is ok if you have a slice lemon to go with it ( tasted ok but tried to again and wasnt the same , was warm though lol

He hasn't lumped them all together but put up each individual match.

You can find them all here (among his other catch-up stuff):

TheChaser, B&M is an excellent shop for all sorts of bargains (if you overlook the 'Arse/Face Sponge'!).

They also do V-Kat in 70cl bottles for approx £5.25, which is terrific for a clear alcohol mixer at 22%.
Why buy vodka etc if you're going to add a load of fruity nonsense to it for summer?

They also do a ready mixed Mojito at just £3.50 for 70cl (10% alcohol) which is very nice indeed.

they also have grants or bells 500ml 9.50 a  bottle , they where doing half bottle in tesco 330ml same price

you gte 8 mager cans £5 , tesco £1,20 per tin

maybe they dont have as much expiry date but im not holding onto it so no odds to me

and a huge selection for all

is the mojito yellow?

Aye, it's a cracking shop!

It's a sort of cloudy lime/lemonade colour, in a square bottle.

i got mojito yellow form tesco last week or week before sure it was about £15 i think but 14%

rather 4 bottles of 10%

they only starting doing booze in my bm lately , but it just keeps getting more and more in , something for everyone

500ml whiskey for 1/2 bottle prices

B&M has to be a better bet then at those numbers, TheChaser.

£3.50 for 10% at B&M compared to £15 for 14% at Tesco.

guaranteed and the gfake pimms will prob be just as good if not better

its stakced to the rafters now in my local , had a basked , the wifey stacking shelves is like your better getting a trolley lol , wouldnt get that in tesco

4 cobra 500ml £3.50

4 x carsberg cidre also £2.50 5%

Like i say spend £20 odd quid excluding the whiskey who wanst for me and mine was £20 just over 16 cans and 8 crabbies

in tesco your talking £30

had £5.50 on the ring pull for 4 packs but only £3.50 on the shelve

TheChaser, I don't know if it's your computer with automatic spelling, or you've just had a few, but it really is like talking to someone in a pub!

- No offence, by the way!

6 x 5.50 = 33

500ml whisky 9.50 , last week it was 9.99 for a 330ml

these cobras in the can are great stuff , only had out bottles before

Now this is more like the glory days of Chit Chat - you're going to 'hide' your balance in your Aussie wallet so you can drink more come Christmas!

Brilliant!

I know. I haven't laughed like this for a long time on here!

try put £20 away a day from my winnings i can do it no bother ( i think ) if sober , thats 600 a month say so would be a good old jollie up at xmas


day 1 started yesterday so 1/1 so far

just so i dont lay dodgy bets when drunk if its tucked away in aussie i cant lose it , but weekly i plan to take to bank or neteller , i had it all sussed but the drink has got a hold of me here

i worked ouy say 4 month at £5 thats £600 so x 4 would be swell

The campaign #ChaserForChancellor starts here folks.
Sod the maths it's the early tee off time I'm impressed with

In honour of England doing so well in their bowling out of Australia this morning for just 136 at Edgbaston - and the sun finally making a fleeting appearance in Stoke - I am now having a B&M ready made Mojito, plus a dash of Tesco dark rum, loads of ice and cloudy lemonade on top.

A splendid sup!
