I had some sort of cold/flu a few years back. After effects dragged on and, in that time, I did not drink. Whether it was the illness or the abstinence I'm unsure, but when I tried to drink anything again, even decent wine, it just tasted of pure booze - like drinking neat alcohol. The taste and the smell were overpowering.

I mean I did eventually get over it (don;t worry biggrin ) but it was a very strange experience.

I do know for a fact that red wine produces this allergic effect. it's not something I made up.

This also happens to me, not happened to anybody else i've ever met though and also it only ever happens after the four or five pint mark as you say, i can have a couple with no sneezing at all. Also as soon as i've had the sneezing fit i then don't sneeze again. All very weird but as you say, must be an allergy of some kind!
Yeah now I think about it it can't be time lapse from the first pint because it only happens to me if I have that quantity and once it's over I can go on an all day session with no further sneezing.

Perhaps something to do with the alcohol's effect on blood vessels in the nose around that stage or summat.

Yes, great track, but not really ' garden ' related.
Got it!

Slayer covered Iron Butterfly's track 'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida' a while back....

(for those not in the know, the track was supposed to be titled 'In the garden of Eden' but the singer was so monumentally fked up in the studio - this was in the 1960's - he slurred the title... and a legend was born)

I genuinely fear for the future of the human race when I see things like this...

i'd give that to the police as evidence of harassment... on the part of the note author, not the 'clairvoyant' who in reality is probably just some innocent person.

Arrived home from work this morning, drove past a house about 10 doors from mine that a new couple moved into last year.
She was cleaning their car parked on the street with wet wipes... at 4:30AM

Gave a well lubricated friend a lift. Technicolour yawn through the window down the bodywork.

maybe just arriving home from a night on the piss, spotted a particularly large bird st on the paintwork and decided to deal with it using what she had at her disposal in her handbag?

Dogging clean up more plausible

Took delivery of some parcels for my weird neighbour a week or so ago.

Took them round to give them to him that evening but no one was home. Looks like he was on Holiday.

He has been back four a few days now, but hasn't been round for them yet.

Not going to bother taking them round again as he is generally a prick to my wife whenever they meet.

How long before I can claim the parcels as mine?
