My friend is fed up because the work he just finished isn't finished - he's just received a smartarse email, and is now having to look up a load of old bks about constructive trusts and conflicts of laws rules, and he can't find his copy of the relevant textbook.

My friend does enjoy both the cocktail and Alannah Myles variety of Black Velvet.

My friend thinks it might be next to his soiled copy of 'Haynes Manual For Rusty Old Fiats'.

My friend has just been outside to do something apparently called 'gardening' for less than half an hour and is now physically buggered.

Darlings, you mean a Back Velvet, surely? Champagne and Guinness in a silver tankard. My friend's friend had one of those.

My friend complained that the jugged hare and the red leg partridge were not available, so he had to rough it with grouse.
Is your friend looking to adopt a 26 year old?!?!

Your friend should post his legal query on here. There appear to be hundreds of (barrack-room) lawyers around.

My friend would like to confess that at first listen he wasn't all that impressed with young Miley's version of Heart of Glass. Since then he has revisited it a number of times and it is now firmly in one of his Spotify playlists.

My friend would like to apologise to Breadders friend who first flagged this musical masterpiece, as my friend rather dismissed it out of hand.

My friend has never had a Black Velvet, in a silver tankard or otherwise.

My learned friend points out that their menu is wrong - but BV’s friend as always is correct in that a Black Velvet is Champagne and Guinness.

My friend found this rather excellent moody song online by Sia and shared it with much pleasure:

only to be admonished by his daughter for being so far behind the times and utterly out of touch.

Children are cruel.

My friend would suggest that young Miss Cyrus has one of the best voices in music, and following a somewhat wild teenage time in front of the cameras has grown into a utterly lovely lady. Moreover she is an excellent performer and her 2019 Glasto set was one of the most polished and professional of everyone's.

One of my friends particular highlights include her duet with her Godmother Dolly Parton singing a duet of Jolene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6H4r1kWqSM

My friend might be a little in love. bounce

She is a major talent.

Rule's have Black Velvet on the menu. A good drink at around Christmas Time. Alas, Boris Cromwell has closed the theatres and looks set to abolish Christmas.

My friend is impressed at your friends stamina

My friend is also of the opinion that the lovely miley cyrus bat's for both teams and could sing like a frog for all he cares, she is awsome.
My friend could also be deluded about her batting habits.

My friend believes that any establishment charging a tenner for a pint of London Pride and/ or Draught Guinness should at least serve it in a proper pewter tankard

My friend says that any establishment selling draught beer at a tenner a pint should be offering Ugandan compensation at least.

Rule's is not noted for being cheap, although the posh wine is not too crazily priced.

My friend had a relatively modest and not super boozy lunch with his nephew at the Dean Street Townhouse, and went home to flop on the sofa, while his wife is cutting one of her films with a lot of Foo Fighters on the soundtrack, so he is having to yell.

This was posted on the ‘my wife’s annoyed at me because’ thread in error, now my friend can’t help me decide which one it should really be on

‘My friend’s wife has worked very other weekend for years.
He wasn’t entirely honest when he said that he’d also like it if they spent every Saturday & Sunday together.
She has quit that job, her last day is today.
He has spent the day lying on the sofa, watching Netflix, drinking beer & eating snacks’
