i think this is most odd being neither one thing not the other but somewhere in-between but there you go.

a true lunchtime is tricky - getting everything ready in time means a really early start.

fer gawds sake fitzy.

get yerself a beer and a chaser (double). hold them. one in each hand.

Your advice is of purely theoretical value - you are assuming that I have ready access to strong liquor.

I do not. This does not form part of the definition of "Christmas" here.

There's a few cans of beer, which is at least an improvement on last year when there wasn't any alcoholic drink at all apart from a couple of glasses of wine with dinner.

[DS23]

ah but you knew this before you got there did you not?

[DS23]

i can appreciate however that you are now in a "****ed" situation and i will therefore have this next drink entirely for you.

[DS23]

it will be a pint of stout accompanied by a brandy. i will inform you of the process shortly. you will obtain the pleasure and effect via the power of tpd.

[DS23]

i am walking to the larder (fridge in outside shed) for beer now.
