Tubthumping

He drinks a lager drink, he drinks a lager drink, he drinks a lager drink, he drinks a lager drink. He drinks a lager drink, he drinks a lager drink, he drinks a lager drink, and he's sick.

Well, in a spirit of doing really stupid things (like going to see Ultraviolet at the cinema) so I can warn you lot not to, I can confidently report that drinking Tesco own-brand 'value' lager which has a best before date of July 2002 is not a very pleasant experience.
In fact, I seem to have spent pretty much this entire weekend just gone on the "Jack Sparrow" diet, which comprises of strong drink and not a whole lot else (two bowls of cereal and a plate of pasta salad, to be precise). From dodgy drinking dens in Soho at 2am on Saturday morning to [livejournal.com profile] raggedy_man's living room floor at, erm, 2am on Sunday morning, I have lived the pirate lifestyle as exemplified by Mr. Depp. When, the morning after a party, you stagger downstairs two hours after every one else to find your host staring at the row of empty bottles and saying in a mock-aggrieved fashion "But where has all the run gone?", it is difficult to maintain an air of innocence by grabbing your head and muttering "Oh, Gooooood". Still, it's true - The JS-plan diet does result in you staggering and slurring your words, but it has yet to make me irresistable to women.
I'm sure this will happen, though. After all, we all know just how much girls enjoy having drunken men leering and pawing at them in the early hours.
In other news, it seems that the Intrepid Fox has introduced a door policy, which I failed. Apparently I'm just plain not scummy enough any more.

I was turned away for the sin of wearing a white t-shirt.
I quote:
"Evenin'."
"Evenin'"
"Where're you going?"
"For a drink?"
"Not dressed like that, you're not."
"There's a door policy?
"Ever since I took over the door, yeah."

Good LORD... Mind you, it wouldn't have remained white, had you managed to find a seat in there, and maybe never would have been again. Maybe he was being cruel to be kind. (Perhaps not).

Would that be the 88p-for-four-cans Tesco lager with 0.1% alcohol?

I can hardly criticise, I've actually gone into a shop and bought Lambrini of my own free will.

Five years ago I went to a party to which I took myself a rather nice bottle of wine or two, and four cans of tesco own brand lager for everynoe else. This was one of those cans, because someone saved it. for five years. I felt it was rather my duty to drink it.

That's what they all say.

Well I'm hoping to have a lost few days at Continuum this weekend. I've got three freeforms lined up and whatever else comes along, but mainly it's going to be a "live now pay later" sort of weekend:}

I recommend the "Jack Sparrow Diet". it's a winner.
And I probably shall be running "Jeeves and the Lost Ark" at Dragomeet if you want to cash in your free game.

OOO! That sounds tempting:}
