Battert is no longer in charge of trolley rounds.

We've out sourced it to India.

Little wonder it's been taking so long recently, probably explain why everything's got rice with it and there's a little bag of warm salad in there too

Anyhow coop, I've found something in the hangar - the label reads 'DANGER - EXPLOSIVE. DO NOT EXPOSE TO NAKED FLAME'

Henry Westons?

Well anything as long as it is not more bloody paint stripper, just back from the last stomach pump and that hurt like a bh, even with the meths to keep me calm.

What ho chaps, rumbled by Bomma again, drat!! Still, I have rather a large quantity of balaclavas if anybody else is interested?
Sorry for the prolonged absence, sometimes life just seems to be a little bit odd, what with all its ups and downs and I have bored you all to death on more that one occasion with my tales of woe.
Suffice to say things are reasonably good at the moment so if it is allowed I will try to be a more active participant for the foreseeable, sorry guys, just when you thought it was safe to talk behind my back thinking the old bugger had finally gone

ps. Any chance of a trolley of sausage and marmalade sarnies and a flagon of Henry Westons being delivered to my house? Is Battert still doing his rounds?

Yes, yes, but are you coming to The Parcel Yard at St Pancras next Thursday?

[Bobberoo99]

Aaahhh nice to see faces old and new, you have never bored us cooped!!!
I may have bought more whisky whilst we were shopping, it just happens, one minute we're buying groceries then, BOOM there's bottles of whisky in the trolley!!!!

[Bomma220]

I'm just looking at the Famous Grouse on the left there.



There's a remarkable similarity.

[Bomma220]

Black Bottle?

By George I think you're on to something there old chap!!!!

Black Bottle?

Aye Bomma, it's a blend been around for a long time, it used to be very nice, a nice mix of spicy, sweet fruit and subtle peat, but after a rebrand it lost its way somewhat, haven't had a bottle in years but at £15 and claims that they're back on form I thought I'd give it a go!!!

It sounds a bit like Mrs B's Christmas cake, not sure if she puts any peat in it though. It sounds good however, I'll see if they have any at the Parcel Depot place, I'll raise a glass to you old boy.

Talking of which, I'm still not sure how this 'Virtual Drink' business works. Do I pay with virtual cash, or put a virtual card behind the bar?

I'd rather pay with a couple of pound coins and wander out to the car park for a ciggie with pint in hand. Mind, it's been a good while since I've visited the Metropolis.

[Bobberoo99]

Well I was hoping we could all agree on a time and post pictures of our drink/selves/stuff and raise a glass or three, it would be nice to be able to join in some of the banter via this here site too!!!

For clarity, those at the Real Drink Up event are the nucleus about which the Virtual Drink Up revolves. We go in person, they visit via the wonders of technology. We drink real ales and real spirits while they tell us about the real (or imaginary) drinks they are having (or pretending to have) in the comfort of their own homes or favourite pub or bar. We travel to London while they lord it up locally. We meet in person and exchange expensive gifts say 'Hi' awkwardly to one another like the people we've never actually met before that we actually are. We sit silently at a table in a ghastly pub in a railway station while they mock us and hurl abuse at us from a safe distance. When we've had enough we go and they stay because they're already there ie where they preferred to be all evening.

There's nothing quite like it.

That's it exactly.

Bomma will be there at thirteen hundred hours and will be in a right state when V6 and I arrive some hours later.

He’s gone again. He’s like a bar of soap in the bath that cooped. A bar of soap which runs on a meths/absinthe mix that is. One of them ones.

We can raise a glass to absent friends who aren’t actually absent due to being virtually there.
Is Mr Peri availing of his personage? I would like to meet him to talk balls.

Well I would think around 19.00? We'll see what the other attendees reckon, take it from there.

I'm not that good at upbucketing photos, I'll perhaps give it a trial run. Would anyone like to see a photo of the old dog?

He might be too busy racing his Lancia Stratos.

[anonymous-user]

Do we have a roster yet?
Seems it’s Dicky, Bomma and me so far or have I missed the more serious contenders.....
