Whimpered, hit snooze, tossed and turned a bit then went back to sleep. This was 7am
As opposed to yesterday, when I woke up, groaned internally at the time (6am) and went back to sleep.
I don't wake up very easily.

I'm dreadful at gambling. I don't understand the maths :(

Alt alt: Of gin, plz.

My son woke me up at 5.30am
The only good part of this was being able to watch The Event, V and The Sopranos on Sky Plus

Oh I stopped wathcing the Event after the break.
Is it any good?

I'm a big fan of the original V series
And I really tried to give the new series a chance. I think it was when they started calling the visitors 'The V's' that I gave up. If it looks like it might have got better from the first few episodes I might give it a shot.

It got better
I fucking love the original mini series and the terrible 2nd series too!
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:45, Reply)

Here mousey mousey
The bit in the original mini series where Marc Singer is in the air vent and sees the lizard eyes for the first time shat me up something rotten at the time (I must've been about 8). I've since bought that and The Final Battle on DVD. Not sure whether I'll bother with the regular series that followed, I seem to remember they didn't bother with the echoey voice effect.

what do you have with your gin, Lovely Lampito?

( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:31, Reply)

It depends!
Either lemonade, ginger ale or if I'm really really bad fizzy Vimto. I will drink tonic but it's not my favourite.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:32, Reply)

Not had gin + ginger ale
I will rectify this
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:33, Reply)

It is delicious.
Sweeter than tonic, not as sweet as lemonade. Tastes a bit of green and gardens.
Not ginger beer, though.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:35, Reply)

Right I will buy some and try it
It sounds lovely

I want to recreate a cocktail I had called Garden
IIRC it was gin, apple juice, lemonade, mint and cucumber. Possibly another spirit in there too.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Fri 6 May 2011, 15:37, Reply)

Remove the cucumber and I'm there (vicar)

I had made cucumber lime margarita jello shooters and they SUCKED.
I was so mad, if it wasn't all mealy and congealed it would have been tasty and awesome.

Crown Royal, Canadian Whisky
All the deliciousness of Jack without giving me the attitude of the century.

Not found a whisky (or whiskey) that I like as yet
All tastes like earth to me

I love it.
I can't drink it straight, but I notice that as time goes on, and drinks get poured, there seems to be more whisky and less coke. And it's sooooooooo good.

I was given G&T "spanish style" where they froth up the tonic or something
It was very nice and tasted different

When I was about 7 or 8..
..I downed a glass I saw sitting in the kitchen of what I thought was water. That put me off gin for life.

This is the third time I've tried to post this :(
I can see the appeal of them on hot days, when lemonade is too cloying. But I don't like the taste of quinine- aniseed is another of those sort of things I just can't stand.

I've had many a night on cider like that. I just drink less.
Last time I had absinthe I ended up painted blue.

First time I had absinthe was my flat warming
which was slightly more literal than intended as my mate managed to set fire to his hand (covered in absinthe) and also burn my carpet. The cunt
