Baileys was invented by Irish milk producers to get rid of a surplus of cream in those far off times - 1971!

Cinzano and lemonade I seem to recall was the drink the Breadknife Mk1 used to demand. Or port and lemon, Gin and Tonic was reserved for the older generation, who also used to serve Sherry when you visited, even in the morning.

My wife was given a bottle of baileys for Christmas. Now, normally I wouldn't have though twice about this but, after 20+ years of marriage I suddenly find I am married to an ugly woman. Worse still, she sometimes ventures onto this forum (she views but doesn't post) so to avoid any marital disharmony I have had to unplug the modem and pretend the storms took out the internet... What may have seemed like a harmless and amusing comment to you Mr Welly has had a significant impact on my self esteem and my marriage, and probably on others who have read this forum (at a time when it should be peace and goodwill to all) only to be surprised and shocked to find they too are married to an ugly woman. |

There are of course exceptions to most social observations, I trust your wife would not have snagged herself such a fine specimen of sailing godliness had she have been unfortunate enough to resemble a warthog munching on road kill.
Therefore please do raise a glass with her of that Irish liqueur and toast those of less blessed appearance than yourselves.... A bit like eating a bowl of rice whilst listening to Band Aid instead of another turkey sandwich, it will make you think of others at Yuletide. |

Ah Mr Welly, so eloquently and smoothly put. You are clearly a most educated and perceptive gentleman. My life is back in harmony thank you, the planets have realigned and my wife is extremely grateful that the broadband has finally been repaired...

Just a moment....are you saying that if I use Baileys to encourage young women into liaison, it will improve my chance of success? Is it more aphrodisiac than say vodka and lime, snowball or Babycham? Was my time resting my elbows in spilled coffee while watching my chosen one consume her Wimpey...in a bar of that name pointless? You young chaps are so lucky with your modern devices and underwear-slackening beverages. How I long for the return of those days when I consider how many shillings I wasted for no result.
My 'lot' have drifted away now leaving me to examine the leftovers. Half the Bailies, bottles of Fleur du Cap 2011, La Ville Ferme 2012, Calvet cotes du rhone 2012 and half a bottle of Bristol Cream....I know what that is. Do I drink these or clean the boat with them?

only with a time machine to take you back to 1997... if location settings are available, I'd recommend the TOTS in Southend or Dukes nightclub in Chelmsford.

Drink them of course. They are not nearly good enough to clean the boat with! |
