    Result then!

    Now this reminds me of my first marriage and the day I moved out of the marital home.
    I was taking a break when the Jehovas witnesses turned up.
    I told them that I was busy but that I would love to hear there stories and would they kindly like to return at 4pm whereupon I would entertain them and listen to said stories, refreshments would be generous.
    I still have a copy somewhere of the voicemail my ex wife left me after they turned up at 4pm!

    Oops. Fixed now.

    The wine was vinegar. I'll try the beer today.

    I'll bet she did you old dog you.

    then knocked at our door asking for a bottle opener, so she could open some of her ex's beer that he'd left behind and pour it away.
    Isn't that how all this started?

    I'm now left with half a bottle of tequila that according to a Mexican friend should only be used for lighting bbqs. Some fine Brazilian rum, 7 bottles of wine and 3 bottles of beer.
    Not a bad haul for ruining a marriage.
    Worth trying.
    Is that a Deja Vu moment from when you met her?

    Booze gift

    My neighbours who we've lived next to for about 15 years - and actually sold us our house - are sadly getting divorced. Mrs Neighbour came round last night to clean up a few odds and end, then knocked at our door asking for a bottle opener, so she could open some of her ex's beer that he'd left behind and pour it away. Oh the horror.

    I rescued it.

    I'm now left with half a bottle of tequila that according to a Mexican friend should only be used for lighting bbqs. Some fine Brazilian rum, 7 bottles of wine and 3 bottles of beer.

    One of the bottles of wine has a date on it. 1981. It's probably vinegar. There's no way he bought it - he's younger than me and I was 12 then. The others have no date, but look pretty old. Maybe we'll find a good one. Worth trying.
