[Drinking] Friday night "three weeks until the fun begins" drinking thread

If no one else can be arsed to start one...

Gin (M&S London dry *) & tonic (Fever-Tree Elderflower)

* - I've decided that as much as I like the Elderflower tonic, it can over-power the gin a bit, so I've intentionally paired it with a non-premium gin. It's still bloody good though.

Red, red wine.

And... And... a joint.

Well when Simmo Says, you do.

Taste the difference organic, obviously.

Last night a couple of bottles of Bishops Finger a bottle of Wild Bill's IPA and a bottle of Westons vintage premium cider. I'd poured a second bottle and then went off to sleep. Just drunk the second bottle now. The premium cider comes in 750ml and at £1.69 from Aldi is good value. The Wild Bill's was good too.

£1.69? That is good value, don't think I could face it first thing tbh. I finished wine from 'not Friday night' then drank a bottle of Bordeaux Rose and passed out for about 8 hours

The cider is very good. I'm not one for throwing food or drink away so around 5am having come to with the lounge lights still on I slaked my thirst - on the tea right now. Haven't been to Aldi in more than a year and was pleasantly surprised by the bargain to be had.

Hope your head is OK.

yeah, I went to a Lidl (spelling

) recently, was unexpectedly surprised at prices and options. I ignorantly thought it would be full of cheap unhealthy cr*p.
My head is fine thanks .... drinking black coffee from my BHA Latte mug (can't stand milk in coffee, but the mug is a cherished present)

I loaded up a large rucksack from Aldi and the cost was around £44. A similar shop in Tesco would be +£60. I particularly like the Aldi versions of tomato sauce and lo-cal mayo - Bramwells - and they're very well priced. Their fresh meat and veg are excellent prices and quality. I'll have a mosey in Lidl next - one opened on the A259 in Southwick recently.

I just went to my bank, but it's gone! Noticed the Aldi opposite was rammed, may take a look in the morning when it first opens

Mine was the Halifax on London Road Brighton, not sure when it closed! Going off at a tangent, Santander on Lewes High St closing soon too. I refuse to bank online ..... don't trust it .... and I still write cheques, just to be annoying :smile:
