zach Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Pernod and Barley Wine. As young lads, about 14, we managed to get the above. We went into Firth Park (The park) to test these drinks (and drinking alcohol for the first time). What a bloody state we ended up in! Never touched either of the drinks again. 57 minutes ago, Al Bundy said: One of those cloudy craft beers. These certainly run a close second! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echo beach Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 10 hours ago, Padders said: Same here H. Filled in as emergency goalkeeper for Atlas-n-Norfolk, we won and I played a blinder.. After the game we went to the Sportsman on Barnsley Rd. The lads got me pithed up on Barley Wines. I couldn't ruddy stand up, they put me on a bus with a sign around my neck....... "CONDUCTOR, PLEASE PUT ME OFF AT NETHERSHIRE SHOPS" I was only 18/19. Seem to remember getting a right rolliking from mi mam. Never touch one since... That barley wine was lethal. Favourite drink for the ladies though. Twas ‘63 and my first Christmas at work. All the office staff finished early and retired to a pub on Fulwood Road. Being the new kid on the block and the lowest paid I accepted the generosity of all those there until I was legless and my boss had to take me home in his car. Lesson learnt, not quite. Years later I had a short period working in one of the local hospitals which shall remain anonymous. Boy did they know how to party at Christmas. Each department had its own little soirée and the idea was to circulate,, socialise and wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I reached Pathology before almost passing out and I’m sure spirits were added on the side to the pints I drank. When I didn’t come home my wife rang the hospital and the porter found me slumped on the floor in my office. I think the lesson was learnt that time because although I enjoy a drink most of the time I always do it now within reason and never touch spirits. The days of whiskey and soda, Cuba Libre and vodka and lime are long gone distant memories now. Wouldn’t turn down a Black Velvet though. Just for nostalgia’s sake, you understand!😆 echo. echo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
