Early visit to pub at the age of illegal.
In the pub 'Get it down, lad, you'll feel better for it'.
Back of the pub, 'Get it up, lad, you'll feel better for it'.

Buy any old rubbish and put it in one of our handmade glasses. It tastes beautiful.

Very nice and tempting. But I have a cupboard full glasses and a husband complaining we have too much stuff 🙁

It is a toss up between me and the dog who will have to go and the dog is cuter!

No just a big red nose and a large hangover.

I've heard of blowing your own trumpet... But this takes things to a higher level.

There is definitely something about drinking wine from a nice glass... I agree about the Lebanese Chateau Musar - it used to blow Grand Cru Classé wines out of the water....

I first had Chateau Musar in my 20s, and it was astonishingly good. I wasn't actually that surprised, though, as a few years earlier, at university, I knew a young Lebanese woman. She was from an upper middle class family, and i asked her how things were there at the height of the troubles there. She said that for people with money it was all still OK, they lived in big houses up in the hills, and they all had their own vineyards, which had that slopey stony ground perfect for growing grapes. She told me that the closest they'd ever come to the war was a stray shell landing among their grapes.

I've recently become a convert to Italain reds- Montepulciano and Primativo are the current favourite tipples in the Lawrence household

1- Paying someone to do the chores is, on the long term, cheaper than a wife.
2- put a dirty dish on the floor, call the dog, and tell me if the man's best friend cannot do the dishes...
