Bairnardo Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Is that a condom wrapper on the table? Have you struck up a rapport with a guard? Fact stranger than fiction.... its a sachet of dessicant from an earlier consumed bag of beef jerky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went a bit OTT on the T (and wine and whisky) this weekend so trying to have a detox week. ETA I have never “detoxed” before but it appears that it involves eating celery and not caning the booze.

Tbf I have had that before where they just asked me to sort it in a timely fashion. I was finished my can before nine tonight. Generally I prefer to make a wee effort not to put the boy in a situation he might not be comfortable with. Hes only trying to get his graft done and get back home after all. No issue complying with the rules, nailing my can of T and helping him get the easy life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful technique to keep a table to yourself at other times though, especially if you smile endearingly at people as they approach.

throbber Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Went a bit OTT on the T (and wine and whisky) this weekend so trying to have a detox week. I have been doing this every weekend and some week nights as well in the past few weeks, it’s not a sustainable lifestyle anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s easy to slip into the habit. Barely had any booze free days in the last few weeks. My hotel room at the weekend even had a complimentary decanter of a nice Speyside malt. Didn’t last long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozam76 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 A tale of two pubs for me, a couple of weeks ago.Boozer #1 - Starbar in Edinburghs New Town. The name is more than a little misleading; sounding like some hipster haunt, it is infact a wee howff of a place that hasn't seen a duster in years. Alas, the two pints of necTar that I had were decent, nothing more.Boozer #2 - Cask & Barrell, foot of Broughton Street. Bigger pub, brighter pub, and the pint of Vitamin T they served up was sensational in every way. Whatever they were doing different, I hope they keep doing it. Another visit awaits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hotel room at the weekend even had a complimentary decanter of a nice Speyside malt. Didn’t last long. I usually sit on the couch consuming beer whilst nursing a bottle of wine in the kitchen and every time i go into the kitchen I take a big slurp of red wine. Knocked back 2 bottles of red , 15 or so beers and a couple glasses of whisky over the weekend there. I didn’t feel particularly rough, more dehydrated and weak but I should stop doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been in the star bar once, it wasn’t very good but I was with a couple of boys I hadn’t seen for a while and the barmaid was very attractive and friendly. I enjoyed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I knew I was planning a trip that would take me past the 'magic hour' I used to take an insulated coffee cup or sports water bottle that was full of loud mouth soup. There was the odd time that that I wasn't discreet the guards were fine, if you're not being loud or dickish then I'm guessing it wasn't an issue. It would probably be different if it was a saturday night with a train full of pished up fannies and I wouldn't have blamed the guards about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I like a bevvy probably more than most. In the house or a local pub then I have no problems whatsoever. On any type of public transport though, I avoid the drink like the plague. I especially never, ever drink on a plane. Even if I have paid for the premium upgrade that offers unlimited drink, I still ignore it. Flying scares the shit out of me but the thought of not being fully in control of my own actions scares me even more. Whether it is a ten minute trip or a 14 odd hour flight, I can easily live without a drink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
