Bene

[OnlyOneTugay]

Seems a Brandy and bene mix has met with your approval OOT? Do you do 50:50 or more one than the other?

Indeed Drog , it’s gone down a treat in the OOT household. 50 / 50 mix

I didn’t partake last night though , as the 6 times winners failed to power through to the 4th round of the increasingly irrelevant and irritating FA Cup

I think I'm erring more toward a 70:30 in favour of the brandy.

Mindful to honour the herbaceous bounty of the bene, I went for 60:40 in favour of the liqueur, with a splash of hot water for an extra winter warmer. Very soothing with the brandy mind, especially after three red ales. The herbs are a nice reminder of the restorative powers of nature, on a night when the snow and ice outdoors, made nature's abundance seem like a distant memory. Thank you monks of Fécamp and to the Burnley Miners.

We might need some later around these parts. Snowflakes the size of 50p pieces falling straight down and the sky looks full of it.

It was like that an hour ago in Baxenden but it's stopped now and the sky is much lighter. It will probably pass over Gord.

This has come from over Preston Al not from the east. But I do know what you mean. It's like the convectional rain of thunderstorms that comes down in stair rods whilst it can be completely dry half a mile away.

I like this guy Ludo - Bénédictine's global ambassador (at 1 minute 17 seconds). The Singapore Sling looks interesting, very interesting. Age restricted so you have to click through the prompts...

Must say I will give the second one a try. Probably with prosecco first. How many members of the Burnley Miners club will have Champagne flutes at home in their cocktail cabinets do you think?

Haven't touched one since the spring that never was. A sure sign we're having a decent summer!
The sloe gin has been taking a hit mind.
I won't be stocking up until after a ball is kicked in anger in the Championship, and the nights have started to draw in...

Well the Rovers going into February 2022 second in the division , 9 shut outs in 11 games and TM managing like a modern day Howard Kendall .

So I’ve decided it’s time for a Bene ( with Brandy ) :

Nice poinsettia, OOT

 

[OnlyOneTugay]

Cheers Dave . Yeah got it from Morrisons just before Christmas and it’s still in decent shape going into February ( just like the Rovers )

Wife or poinsettia??

 

[OnlyOneTugay]

Careful WB , I couldn’t possibly comment as the wife has taken charge of predictions again after my woeful recent run and I caught her checking the table earlier

Suffice to say the Poinsettia is looking mighty fine this morning
