I've noticed that new names are popping up quite a lot recently, so wanted to say hello and welcome. Do come on here and introduce yourselves/say hello.
smile We're a friendly lot - honest!

Takes me back to the Dubonnet and lemonade that we often drank when we were younger - thought we were so grown up!

Annobel Mon 12-Mar-12 17:37:16

Port and lemon? Wasn't that Ena Sharples's tipple in the early days of Corrie?

JessM Mon 12-Mar-12 17:11:33

I don`t like whisky either, I`m a port and lemon girl, is that alright?

Anagram Mon 12-Mar-12 16:58:48

Yes, Annobel, you could get very thirsty if you waited for sundown in summer in this country!

*What are we talking about now jess? smile

Annobel Mon 12-Mar-12 16:34:36

Sundown - when I lived in a tropical country we always had a 'sundowner' (usually G&T), but there the sun always set at 6.30 give or take a few minutes. You'd think that I'd have abandoned that mindset after 40+ years back in England!

Sundown? Are we vampires?

Speak for yourself JessM.sunshine

Annobel Mon 12-Mar-12 16:02:36

See you at sundown then, Anagram?

JessM Mon 12-Mar-12 15:56:37

Some of us have pretty much given up on the real stuff but still enjoy the thought of it. How sad is that?

jeni Mon 12-Mar-12 12:48:47

Same here!

Welcome Anagram flowers

Anagram Mon 12-Mar-12 12:43:56

Bit early for me (I'm still at work!) but look forward to joining you all in a tipple later.... smile

Annobel Mon 12-Mar-12 12:39:45

Hi Anagram - it looks as if you will fit in very well! Not that we are all alcoholics by any means, but we do like a tipple, even if it's a virtual one - we are not all mad all the time! grin cheers! wine

Anagram Mon 12-Mar-12 12:36:38

Hello, I'm a new member - well actually joined a couple of weeks ago but haven't had time to find my way around properly yet! I'm afraid I don't like whisky, but anything else alcoholic will do!

yogagran grin

yogagran Mon 12-Mar-12 12:07:32

I'll drink any of them thank you very much grin

supernana Mon 12-Mar-12 12:01:23

Annobel Laphroaig is one of my husband's favourites. Glass Macallan is a good choice. I also like Talisker...

Annobel Mon 12-Mar-12 09:47:04

Laphroaig - I agree. The others are equally difficult to spell!

syberia Mon 12-Mar-12 09:30:31

I like the peaty one that begins with L, can't remember the name this morning, and no bottle around to refer to! I think it's from Islay

Annobel Mon 12-Mar-12 08:23:45

I like the peaty Islay malts.

glassortwo Mon 12-Mar-12 08:01:04

I am with you there baggy Macallan and Dalwhinnie are two of my favorites but also like an odd Lagavullin depends on my mood.

bagitha Ardbeg Uigeadail sends us into raptures.
Butter Wouldn't a Champagne party do us all a lot of good? I don't know anyone in the village who has a lap-top. Not many off us have broadband either. Never mind, we seem to cope in spite of being behind the times. smile
nanachrissy May well heed your good advice. wink
