SimonM Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 ...The Wine Bar - which I will not name to save possible embarrassment - which had a sign up offering "Hot Mulled Wine"...:)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4665-ed-tautology-of-the-week/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckhampam Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Not actually a tautology. They may be boasting that they don't let it go cold. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4665-ed-tautology-of-the-week/#findComment-150351 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 That is indeed a very tautologous repetition of the same concept. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4665-ed-tautology-of-the-week/#findComment-150354 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HonaloochieB Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'm not getting this, I take it as heated up fermented grape juice that's been thought about for a considerable period of time.Now 'peroiod of time'...

Brendan Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Surely that is a punctuation mark indicating the end of a sentence which is also bound by the constraints of the 4th dimension.

We live in a time when a former BBC political correspondent, becomes a national dancing hero. So anything's possible.But I'd lay off the mulled wine at breakfast time, if I were you.Seriously, a couple of Perronis are less of a shock to the system.

SimonM Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 You could be right at that....so you'd send your glass back complaining about all the spices defiling it??

You've devised the best way to get pissed up, for next to bugger all.The glass is sent back, empty of whatever hooch you had in it, in the first place.In a strident tone of voice, one informs the barkeep/waiter about the defiling of the wine and demands a refill.The subsequent refills will be deemed 'not up to snuff', because of the imbalance of the herbs and spices, and oisy-doisy-doh you get as pissed as a bastard for the price of a single glass of mulled wine.'Mullered For Nothing' as Dire Straits might have sung at their staff Xmas party.It's just the sort of initiative we need in these "credit crunch" days.

Smiler Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 The same place of the hot mulled wine is advertising that it sells "real" wine. If only I had drunk less real wine and more pretend wine this year, I could fit into that little black dress.....
