Sailing is for posh people

Neither did I tick, but as an earner I was able to pay my own way through the drinking world. Shame I also paid for so many students via their subsidised student union drinking establishments

Well it's neither posh nor working class, but I've been 'at' my favourite Christmas tipple since the sun went over the yardarm today at about 11 am, here it is, the drink of has-beens. Scotch & Alcoholic Cloves, served in a hip flask...
Happy Christmas y'all..

Well when it comes to drinks I'm not exactly an expert.  I don't frequent pubs except if there's a music gig on, and if I do then it's a pint of Guinness- except that these days they all serve it ice cold so you have to let it stand for 45 minutes before you have something you can actually taste...

At home, it's a decent scotch.  My father liked scotch and thought Johnnie Walker Red Label or Teachers was a decent drink.  My downfall is that I might use those for cleaning paint bushes but not much else.  My idea of a decent scotch is a single malt, the older the better, and invariably something I can rarely afford.  But the waiting makes it  all the sweeter when it finally arrives!

Whatever your favourite tipple, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and an excellent New Year.  And to the former Phantom sailor on the Solent (I guess the individual concerned will recognise himself) - I am sorry to hear of your present difficulties and hope that 2014 will see them resolved in double quick time and you back on the water very soon.  I've been there too mate - keep your chin up.

I like a drop of Talisker
