Friday night, still a bit winded having found stuff during my flingage that delivered a good hard punch to the solar plexus, and despite being off the booze, I am having a small something. To be fair, ‘another small something’ would be more accurate.
Anyone care to join me as I raise a glass to the instigators and guardians and the Feral techie with the big stick and nail of the board?
Cheersh.

Cheers to you, Gus and cheers to us all!
Mr Janie is even as we speak shopping for liquid refreshment and by the time he gets back it should be late enough here for us to raise our glasses.

Blow ‘shopping for liquid refreshment’, Petal - give the man a spade or a small mechanical digger and set him constructing a cellar. A real, not virtual, one. Except you possibly have one already - is Canada as big on cellars as the US seems to be?
I viewed a house years ago that had a ‘half-cellar’. In other words, space underneath it that you couldn’t stand up in, and possible permission to dig it out a bit further. I didn’t buy. It was a strange and lovely little house, the main selling point according to the EAs being that it was Cath Kidstoned throughout, but it had bugger-all in the way of storage space (apart from the not-quite-a-cellar, and it was on a terribly busy road. A terribly busy road where it would now benefit from the overall gentrification of the area and be going for incredibly silly money, but still. Plus I would have had to deflower it, if you see what I mean 
Anyway, cheeersh, me dear - hope that man of yours is back with something highly suitable to lubricate your thirsting tonsils (can a tonsil ‘thirst’ as such? Ed)

There are those for whom it is always gin o’clock, and them as prefers other beverages but in the same temporal manner.
The sun is always over the yardarm somewhere.

We do indeed have a cellar but we call it a basement with a frightening capacity for storage. I don’t know how it is, but if we keep a lot of liquid refreshment there it tends to get drunk in some mysterious way.
The house not taken … we have a few of those!

And there’s that song - cheesy or rather comforting depending on p.o.v. - ‘It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere’.
Fruity-little-painstripper for them as is not too particular, but thirsty all the same

Last time I flew - on an aeroplane that is - I asked the flight attendant why I always felt like spicy tomato juice when flying. She didn’t know but she said it was very common. Possibly the dry atmosphere makes you crave salt, I dunno.
It’s still early for me, but I don’t need a lot of encouragement. Cheers!

it is all right if you sup it out of a spoon, noprobsatallhic
Flying. Ah. Flying. Um. Nasty business, flying. If spicy tomato blood sees you right, who am I to quibble? (A wittering nitwit, that’s who. Ed. )
I’m beginning mightily to dislike this Ed bloke. Who invited him?

Yeah, curses on that Ed bloke and his comments usually in square brackets. Ruddy cheek! I am not too fond of flying either but it’s part of life if I want to see my family. And I do!

Flying is fine if you do it yourself. It’s trusting other people to do it for you wot gets you into trouble.

square brackets observation noted; pointy ones earlier seemed to go a bit wrong, but I will adhere to the conventions or be damned. [That should be an ‘and’ rather than an ‘or’. Ed]
You mean there are families on wants to see? No offence to LadySusan intended, btw
You know, it is probably time that I either went to bed or. Or ‘or’… Quaite.
Nighters my dears. Special fond nighters to that Heidicat

This morning, in the factory I’m currently working, I walking through the filling hall & past, conservatively, 2 million wine bottles. Largely Gallo, but some Australian too.
It always impresses me.

After the first million or so, even that would probably be tolerable

Oh it would.
