Red wine and/or some cans of Stella. Although I’ve had sinusitis for about a month now and I’m thinking I might be in bed by 9 o’clock ☹️☹️☹️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,765 Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Hophouse, although there is some wine in the "cellar" which I haven't touched for ages. Scratch that, the butler must have polished off the wine. Beer it is. Edited December 31, 2019 by Herman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted December 31, 2019 Had tea this afternoon, thanks Midlands. 👍 Tonight there's been some gin and tonic, there'll be some red wine and no doubt as usual on these occasions, a drop of Drambuie or more later on. Happy New Year to all, even to Hoola Han Solo. 🥂🍹🍾 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
How I Wrote Elastic Man 1,187 Posted December 31, 2019 I might go out for a lager later. Most of the pubs here (Reykjavík) are shut until after midnight though, so I could have my work cut out. And the state run off-license shut hours ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe the wedding venue will help to get some in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,141 Posted December 31, 2019 We’re going to be contacting several breweries directly so I’ll add them to the list. A crate (or several) isn't a bad idea either. 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
