Just a couple of bottles of gin should be all you need.
If they are class ladies, then Baileys.

Urgh, Bailey;s.
My first alcoholic drink. Blurgh.

Yes, but it wasn't your last, was it?

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 20:02, Reply)

My last drink was what I termed "ginto"
You guessed it, gin and fizzy Vimto.

This makes me pleased I don't drink (much) any more.

It's very nice, Mr Noel.
I'll have you know.

Really?
Also, I had a weird counseling technique tried out on me today. I failed miserably. It was almost entertaining if I wasn't panicking.

I'm intrigued.

He made me tap my hand on the table in a rhythmical manner
and speak without sentence structure or whatever, just freely, and he'd see what I said and what it meant.

As I said, it's interesting, but impossible :/

Isn't that CBT?

( girlinthehole, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 20:20, Reply)

Most likely

In a sort of Basil Brush way?

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 20:13, Reply)

Nah, in a traditional Pakistani way.

Ah, the "It aint half hot mum" situation.
Just respond by moving your head in a mysterious way.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 20:20, Reply)

I actually do that.
I've spent the past three years in an office with these guys, you pick up stuff. I generally get the gist of what they're talking about when they're speaking Urdu, and I know some key phrases without having learned any.

Alcohol is a sin.
And very boring.

Whereas massive drugs just make you boring to other people.

Instead he drinks Pledge.

Give me having a class and/or surreal lengthy conversation with someone else also off their tits than staggering round like a drunk twat anyway.

Don't get me wrong
I'll happily puff away and talk codshit with like-minded puffers. It's the chewing, glassy-eyed class-a bores who won't remember a fucking thing the next day I can't stand.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 20:32, Reply)

I see your point.
I hate drunk people when I'm sober. But then again I'm a dreadful drunk.

Will you be bashing at some point?

( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 20:22, Reply)

CHCB's one in Bristol, probably
assuming I can get the next day off work

(current likelyhood is I can, but not get paid for it)
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 20:24, Reply)

I'm most likely not doing that one.
Do London at some point, you can teach me to crochet and I'll get drunk and punchy.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 20:31, Reply)

perhaps if there is one in school holidays
and I can find somewhere to stay, then maybe. I'm guessing the alternative - that I declare a bash in Swansea - is unlikely to go well

What's the difference between that and, say, lemonade?
They're both fizzy and come in bottles from cornershops.

I rest my case.
The mixer is to enhance the flavour of the spirit, not mask it.

This sounds very condescending, and it is. Stick to what you like.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 20:10, Reply)

Mhm.
But often I drink not-very-nice gin. So sometimes I really need to mask it as much as possible.

Sorry to hear that.
I used to drink teachers and coke, so I'm just trying to help.

Haha.
Maybe I should move onto BEER

Provided you don't chug them down at a man's speed OK
Otherwise it is too fattening.

Seeing as I'm hammered after 4 pints of cider*
I doubt I'll be having that much.
