Have managed to dig out more Coltrane.
Also have plenty more alcohol to choose from.
Have plenty more red wine but think drinking two bottles by myself might be a trifle inadvisable.
Have Armagnac if I want to stay on the grape theme.
Have Gin, Vodka, Scotch and Calvados if I want to mix it up a little bit.
Have strange Croatian liquers if I'm feeling particularly adventurous.
Still have half a glass of wine with which to make my mind up.

I have Boney M, a cheap menthol in a posh holder and some fruit cider that I won't drink tonight.
Drink gin.

Oh, wait, I almost forgot:
I also have Marmite Vodka.

You've mentioned this before.
I'm highly intrigued.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Sat 29 Jan 2011, 23:06, Reply)

Intrigued enough that you'd want to try it?

(LongJohnBaldry, Sat 29 Jan 2011, 23:12, Reply)

I can't imagine what mixer you'd use with it.
And I'm a bit funny with drinking straight vodka, but I do love Marmite.

Charms is making bacon bourbon for her brother's birthday present.

Haha! Funnily enough I was sent a link to a recipe for bacon vodka
One stage of the manufacture involves a few hours in the freezer to encourage the bacon fat to solidify as a fraction on the top in order that you could remove it. This suggested to me the idea that one could set up a production line of bacon-flavoured vodkas and bacon-scented candles...

Oh dear lord you're unstoppable.
I might make skittle vodka. Or maybe skittle gin. Though it might be a waste of perfectly good Gordon's.

I'd imagine a bacon-fat candle would stink to high heaven.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Sat 29 Jan 2011, 23:21, Reply)

Oddly enough, I did see Skittle Vodka in the same pub where I first discovered the Marmite Stuff
And based on previous experimentation, yes, a candle based on pig fat does have a certain...aroma to it.

You're an absolute monster.
Revolution has a wide variety of flavoured vodkas including, if I recall correctly, oatmeal. A business man made a lewd joke about doing me up the arse* and one of his friends felt sorry for me and bought me a peppermint vodka shot. It was quite nice.

*do I LOOK like I take it up the arse?! Come on.

What? There was a jar of fat, and I had an idea which I felt the need to test.
As for the businessman, I guess it depends whether he'd seen the badge.

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HAVE A JAR OF FAT YOU DISGUSTING EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING
No, the badge wasn't even a twinkle in Noel's eye at that point. I was with two massive benders though, I was surprised they werne't singled out for accusations of sodomy.

Actually, that does pose a problem. Like how we have no idea how to get rid of about 15 litres of rainwater and stewed fagbutts...

You're welcome to try, it's probably got plenty of tar.

It's a vodka infusion.
Made with Marmite.

First encountered in the something-Star on a tour of the better pubs of Southampton. Later replicated to be an amusing christmas present by the then-Ms-Crow.

That sounds every kind of wrong that exists in the world.

Depends how much you like Marmite
And how much you've had to drink before you decide it's worth trying again...

Sober or drunk
I'd still rather lick a tramps arse, frankly.

Take it you're not a fan or Marmite, then?

(LongJohnBaldry, Sat 29 Jan 2011, 23:34, Reply)

You could say that, yes.
I was in Selfriedges the other day and they had marmite chocolate. Marmite. Chocolate. *despairs*
(berk, Sat 29 Jan 2011, 23:38, Reply)

Yeah, I've tried that...
I have a friend who's a little obsessed with the stuff - has a little collection featuring all the silly champagne-yeast-marmites, the XO-yeast marmites and all that, and of course the chocolate. Rest assured, it's fairly revolting.

Just had Love Supreme on
Now managed to find my copy of Olé Coltrane, which I've always thought was a better album, not least for the bowed bass solos on the title track.

if she doesn't come round to coltrane.
but she's foreign, so...
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Sat 29 Jan 2011, 23:07, Reply)

I've got to admit, I'm no expert
I love Olé and Love Supreme, but some of his stuff does get right up my nose. When he's good, he's excellent, but when he's bad, you want to stick that tenor sax right up his arse (e.g., I still don't like his reading of My Favourite Things. Done much better by Grant Green, if you ask me)

Update:
Olé Coltrane and red wine are now well and truly emptied; the time has come for Armagnac and The Oscar Peterson Trio Live at Newport, which is a fucking good combination, I can tell thee.
