Getting a tad nervous about tonite now.
The sensible money is on a draw I suppose, but sooner or later we have to lay down a marker to everyone, and why not tonite?
I desperately want us to shove a stick of rhubarb up Wilder's a/ hole and say "how dya like them apples you miserable twonk? "
Err apologies for that outburst guys, that's what happens after 5 pints of Northern Monk Faith IPA.

I thought that was a very reserved post to be fair 2sheds, just out of third whisky tasting tour in Edinburgh therefore, will not commit to print how I feel about Mr Wider.
Very unlikely to be able to watch the game as at family dinner, hoping George Baldock memory is respectfully honoured by all, and we send the whole division a firm message of intent.
Feeling confident with DJ back in the squad as I think Willy much better option than BA at this time, think we win the game by two goals.

I’ll tell my whisky story 24th Dec 1981 was my last “slip” ever.
My first year at work and I win a bottle of Jameson. (1.2 litres! ) in the works raffle. It’s Xmas Eve and I’m due to catch the last bus (6:10 pm) to my parents for a family Christmas…. we go for a drink in the local pub before travel. I intend to give the whisky to dad as a present. I still have to go to my bed sit to pack, so intend only a quick polite drink. Someone notices the whisky and advises me that “tradition” is that you never take the prize from the raffle, you must share with colleagues. I’m a little aggrieved, but relent. 3 of us drink the whisky and more besides. It’s 5 pm and I have to get back and pack…. to my dismay, there’s 6” of snow on the ground, making the drunken walk to my bed sit treacherous and long. It’s touch and go if I can get back in time for the bus.
Then….
I’m awake…. its a cow shed, I’m in a pile of straw. It’s 9 pm!
I’m not sure where I am…but clearly I have missed the bus. I need to get back in town to the phone box and phone home for them to pick me up…they ain’t going to be happy. I make the call, to my surprise no anger, just joy? Mum is beside herself…”where have you been, I thought you were coming home for Christmas…?
It was the 29th of December…I’ve been unconscious for 5 days in a cow shed…. never had a drop of whisky on my lips since!

Ha ha awesome story Ani. my first glass of whisky admittedly after a skinful of beer in Blackpool, resulted in me crapping myself

Quality story Ani, to be honest I’m not a whisky drinker but visiting my daughter in Edinburgh she ‘surprised’ me with the tasting so feeling obligated went along with some vigour, unfortunately other family members known to like whisky turned it into a competition!
I’m drunk to be sure, probably tried about a dozen single malts (just tasting sizes) but not too drunk to notice my most enjoyable victory of the season against that €%#$ Wilder.
Over the moon but may need a very slow start in the morning.

Wow that's some story Ani. I'm banned from whisky as it turns me into a bit of a person.
