Redleg 42,156 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 I did something I have never done as well Redleg I did not intend to listen / watch the game. I heard the score on ABC news and got what i expected. Like you the MFC gives me nothing but pain now. Never in 53 years have I ever been in this position, even in the dark days of the seventies did I feel remotely close to this. I wake every day now and half wish to pick up the HUN and find we have returned our licence. God delivery me. Saw the last round of 1997 between us and Freo on Fox Footy the other day and we belted them. We had a crap season and they were going for the finals. Look at the two clubs now, it's so sad. Quote

Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 It is like a nightmare from which you cannot wake! Just keep drinking OD. The pain does go. Eventually. Quote

mauriesy 7,444 Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Have you tried other spirits?Cognac. Might as well go out in style. 1 Quote
Redleg 42,156 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 Cognac. Might as well go out in style. For what it is worth I will share this piece of useless info, I have never had a full shot of scotch, cognac, brandy or a full glass of champagne. I have only tried them and disliked them and never repeated the exercise. Quote

I have only tried them and disliked them and never repeated the exercise.Some of my friends think Cognac is fire-water. It does take a reasonable mouthful to lubricate and get over the volatility before you can really appreciate it. Edited May 29, 2013 by maurie Quote
Redleg 42,156 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 Is there any spirit / liqueur you like Redleg? Vodka, Baccardi, Kahlua, Baileys,Tia Maria. Quote

It does take a reasonable mouthful to lubricate and get over the volatility before you can really appreciate it. My experience ( going back a long time ago) is you need to start with very good Scotch or Cognac. The Very Good stuff is more like a liqueur. Poor quality tastes like kerosene. Not that I have drunk much kerosene! 2 Quote
Red and Bluebeard 2,101 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Vodka, Baccardi, Kahlua, Baileys,Tia Maria. Banana dacquari? FWIW I think tomorrow afternoon is likely to be time for banana cake. What about you, Redleg? Quote
