"Deciduous fude treats accepted"

*blink blink*

No idea. Its a mystery. Toyah is married to Robert Fripp. Now listening
to David Bowie reminiscing about when he met Marc Feld (Bolan) when they
were whitewashing the office walls of someone in the music business, and
how Marc taught him to raid the bins of the Carnaby Street ships after they
closed, to pick up seconds and rejects. Got to wrangle. Ramble. Gambol.
!Gamble.

Brandy Alexander. Brandy and ginger ale. Brandy & Babycham. Such
different images, different eras.

Rum and pep - now theres a really dated drink! When I was a young barmaid
(18/19) the older lounge bar barmaids echo worked in the hotel on weekend
evenings were civil servants - clerical officers - who were in their
twenties, with bouffant hairs do. Engaged and saving for their trousseaux.
They had to resign on marriage. One of them drank rum and pep

Slàinte mhath!

Id like to think that resign on marriage was a security thing. But I
suspect it wasnt. :(

I know! Standing in a 1980s cocktail bar, drinking the Brandy Alexander.

Brandy and Babycham was earlier, and considered a quick way to get drunk,
supposedly without others knowing that you were doing double drinks.

Nope. Get the fingerettes off and get the pinny on. Sounds a bit kinky.

How would they not know?

And where would you be drinking with people that you didnt want them to
know you were drinking?

(Apart from the old "Spike the Non Alcoholic Punch at the Christian
Prayer Evening" thing. That one doesnt count.)

I remember being told by female cow orkers that I should work "in the
nude - apart from a pinny". This is the sort of thing that, had the
genders been reversed, could come back and cause trouble for someone
even 30+ years later. I should have been offended by it. But somehow,
I wasnt. :D

Many years later I did once try frying bacon and egggs thus attired (in
the nude, apart from a pinny). Not for any kinkiness reasons, but
purely out of laziness and because it was high summer. I do not
recommend this configuration.

Well, they worked, but I think this was the self-delusion of the drinker.

You were pretending that this was just a tasty, nice drink, while trying to
neck as much ethanol as possible, preferably at someone elses expense.

You can tell a lot about a person by whether they hide hard liquor in

A lot of people have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol as
teenagers. Its how quickly you grow out of it that matters.
