So, who wants to help ... to take refuge in the Cellar?

I’ve been drinking some very dodgy energy drink recently that tastes like synthetic cherry… for the first sip. After that my taste buds don’t seem to respond to it any more.

Anaesthetic cherry? Interesting, if a vile concept.

Goldschlager is an acceptable option.

Does one need to like cinnamon?

The stuff we have on the bar is plain vodka wiv gold flakes in it.

That would work very nicely with the boozy fruit ice cream. Certainly less tacky than this:

What happens if you want to eat the stuff? I know gold is inert, but won’t it be rather chewy, not what I want in an ice-cream?

I suspect it’s so thin that it comes out as substantial as tissue paper, or less.

Edible Gold Leaf is available & is, indeed very flimsy. Has to be picked up & placed using tweezers

I prefer the look of the flakes meself, rather than everything covered in gold

In an ice-cream cornet, I’d sooner have a Flake than flakes anyway.

Now just a moment, this is looking very fishy to me. Are you advocating Gold Flake in your ice cream? For a start, it might be difficult to find. Harder than gold dust in fact. Is it still made? I remember being able to get it in Ireland, but that was a fair while ago. You’ll be wanting Capstan Full Strength next.

I might have to settle for Golden Virginia, you mean?

Am about to flump with a Large Summat

I hope that we have had a Yardarm…

No Yardarm has been called. You will have to hold off on that large [unidentifed substance] until a) Darrington has hauled the public health authorities in to ensure that it is safe; and b) until a yardarm has been properly called.

Oh well, go on then, but on your own head be it (‘Summats’ indeed, pshaw and forsooth. Could be anything in them, those unregulated ‘summats’)

Yardaaaaaarm!

Slainte, Chatelaine.

gawd it’s quiet hereabouts tonight. I blame the bank holiday and the government. Hope that Summat of yours was gently therapeutic / gave your entire skull a jolt and made your eyeballs roll around like the thingies on a fruit machine, depending on what you wanted from it.

If it worked nicely, have another. If it didn’t - and that would be a crying shame - try again, maybe you weren’t sipping it right or summat something.
More power to your elbow ; -)

Strange day here today . The sky has been as thick as a bag, & it has rained for most of the day

I will have another Therapeutic Summat, & offer you one too

And me, pretty please! (arrives looking furtive having been Up To No Good elsewhere) What are we drinking?

OMG who left that bottle of Slivovitz there? Still, it should be ok for loosening stuck optics.
