Blasphemy and tonic wine

Post by **faceless** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 4:37 pm

Our tonic, Which art in barrels, Hallowed be thy drink. Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk), At home as in the tavern. Give us this day our toenail ends, And forgive us our spillages, As we forgive those who spill bucky against us. And lead us not to incarceration, But deliver us from hangovers. For thine is the buckfast, The Tonic and The Buckie. Forever and ever, Barmen.

It was the Buckfast wine that did it. Not the people consuming it. I knew it all along. Ban buckfast, that has to be the only solution!

It's really mad stuff without doubt. There's a lot of caffeine in it, so it has a kind of Red Bull effect as well as making you completely loopy.

You'd need to try it, there's nothing else I've ever drunk that's close to it.

The smell was enough for me to say no thanks.

It sounds interesting since it is being made by monks. That alone will make me try it!

I can't drink caffeine, gutted!

that's on the steps of the Royal Concert Hall - cultural hub for sure...

(note: he's one of the happiest looking blue-noses I've ever seen!)

I'll upload the BBC Scotland doc that was on last night later this evening
