When the sun is over the yard arm is an old naval term my dad used a lot. And, when it was over the yard arm that's when he'd start drinking. But noon is probably about right or perhaps a little earlier.

I love alcohol but I am no alcoholic.

I only drink if i am out at a pub, party, wedding etc which is not often or if I am having a feast at someone's house or my house.

I most certainly do not drink every day or every weekend, i can go weeks without a drink but at the same time I can drink every weekend if there are non stop social gatherings.

I was brought up on booze when I was a kid, my parents and grandparents always gave me a sip of rum or wine with my meal when I was a kid in order to get me used to booze and to build up an immunity to it as a result I have never got drunk out in public, flashed my boobs, or done a full moon. I know my limit and I rarely go over it, I conduct myself very well in public and I have outdrank many people who thinks a wee thing like me could not hold her drink!


I think with the Brits we tend not to drink with our meals, we go to the pub and we have just up until 11pm to drink, hence the bingeing culture, whereas with our counterparts in Europe they drink with their meals, and they have ample time to enjoy a drink.


The bingeing culture is NOT new so don't let them fool you, we have ALWAYS been known as louts, look at very old texts and stories from hundreds of years ago and they talk about us drunken brits! I guess it is in our genes...well not mine since i am mixed and I can handle my booze!

f*ck a duck. I thought I was well behaved by only flashing my tits/ falling of bar stools/ "serenading" ED/ crying in public once a week.


I have a problem.


It begins with "Why" and ends in "ine".

Ah HeidiHi - you've never had the pleasure of waking up in a strange house whilst the night before comes back to you in small and usually not ordered glimpses.


Should I get up and go to the toilet? Hmm now is that the toilet door or am I going to show my half naked self to the street?


.....Mr CamberwellOz locked himself out of the flat naked once. He had to wrap the other flat's old newspapers around him to keep warm and wait for a mate to bring some keys over in the morning. How did his friend know? Well Mr CamberwellOz had to knock on our neighbours door wrapped in the sports section and ask to use their phone.


Now I'm married and a mum, I think life would be quite dull without these funny memories.

LOL!!!

I have never woken up in someone's house, broke down crying, danced on the bar or anything like that!

For some reason when I start getting drunk, my first instinct is to go home, drink a pint of water, pop a painkiller and go to bed! My body/mind does not let me get to the point where I black out, flash body parts and the rest.


The only time I have blacked out was when I was about 19 and I had a drinking competition with my brother's friend at my house, he declared that girls cannot hold their drinks like men, so egged on by friends and family, we both drank straight brandy, rum, wine, baileys, vodka, gin, wine etc....and eventually he dropped, and then I blacked out, but made it upstairs to my bed and woke up with vomit...my own of course...I am sure I had the shakes for a month after that.....ewwww! It has been captured on camcorder also But that was the one and only time I have ever blacked out and that was in the name of a competition which I won!!

How about an ED alcohol offset scheme? I hardly ever drink these days on account of being pretty crap at it and having to get up for work, so if someone would like to buy my 14 units a week, or perhaps trade them for (see 'Size of Women's Arses' thread) let's say cake units, we're still within the guidelines.

      its based on the income  the [to be x] freeholder will lose - ie the ground rent and any service charges. Unless D Estate follows different laws to everybody else.

      Purchasing Freehold from Dulwich Estate?

      By the fruity dj · Posted

      Hi everyone. I’m currently in the process of buying a house on the Dulwich Estate with ~86 years left on the lease. I’ve found it quite hard to get clear information online about the realistic cost of buying the freehold from the Dulwich Estate. I was wondering if anyone here has experience dealing with the Dulwich Estate and, if so, roughly how much it cost to purchase the freehold. I know it will vary depending on the property, but even a ballpark figure would be really helpful so we can decide whether the purchase makes sense for us. Thanks very much in advance.

      Victorian gas outlet??? Any advice?

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      It looks like a tap for the gas lighting that used to be found in those homes. The little tap would regulate the flow of gas to give a brighter or dimmer lamp. It's probably not part of any gas feed now and you can check that for yourself by following the gas pipework from your meter (which should only run to the kitchen to supply a boiler and cooker). Next time you have your boiler serviced, ask the engineer to have a look for you.

      Fabulous Electrician Paul Edgley

      By George Wilson · Posted

      Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!
