Drinking bourbon.....

[vetran]

I would like to come to your bunga bunga parties

By invitation only sorry!

How depressing, plenty of fun post 50!

Can you remember that long ago?

Is it all in Nazi Gold still or have you divested your portfolio?

I never invested in banks. I still have my nicely diversified portfolio - Swiss shares include engineering, pharma and insurance companies, and cocoa importers. Why would I divest it?

I don't tend to obtain souveniers from contracts. But I am partial to picking up a variety of crockery and glassware if something takes my eye. Always take pens from hotels - the best quality and longest lasting being from Raffles, Singapore.

We have some lovely glasses from Air Canada and Finnair.

Still, you like a Maker's Mark, so you can't be too bad. Other good Beam Suntory bourbons are Knob Creek and Basil Hayden's.

That's Alzheimer's for you, a decade ago is like yesterday, but I cant remember breakfast!

Neat Bourbon tastes to me rather synthetic and paint-strippery, i.e. how I imagine paint stripper would taste if one was stupid enough to try sipping it

there is nothing neat about bourbon.

02:47 and I'm sitting drinking Makers Mark out of a Eurostar wine glass which I 'obtained' from Eurostar while commuting to a contract.

Got me wondering; am I the only one who 'obtains' a souvenir from memorable contracts?

A shoulder badge I picked-up when on a Defence Contract is probably my most 'treasured' contracting souvenir; couple of beer glasses 'borrowed' from bars when I've been away working have a lot of hazy memories attached; an ID card which wouldn't mean much to anyone but me.

Anyone else got reminders that are worthless in cash but priceless in the times you had?

Sorry for the ramble....just turned 50 and pi$$ed

Hi Gricer
