Update Meeting at The White Swan, 14 Vauxhall Bridge Road from noon.
Bit more exciting than wine, I’m proposing a largely FCL-led cheese and absinthe party on the next Bank Holiday Monday. Bring cheese, bring Absinthe, bring a change of pants. And some sugar. And a spoon. And a good pointy knife. I have a secret garden where we can quaff Absinthe, quote poems and go blind. If it’s raining, there’s a pub next doors.

Good lord. Why don’t we all just consume some lighter fuel and set a match to ourselves.

premiumChez, I did that one New Year’s Eve. Burp. I am a dragon, perhaps.

Absinthe isn’t that bad. Having had real absinthe & home-made absinthe on the same day before, the real stuff is actually quite pleasant.
OK, so I did vomit & pass out in the shower that day, but I did also drink a fair amount of beer, vodka & wine as well. I’m certainly not blaming the absinthe.

Is there going to be no crackers/biscuits for the cheese?

premiumThe Absinthe mention was just designed to draw in the hardened drinkers, so when I get all shouty, repetitive and confused, I know I’ll be in good company. We can have other booze too, oh yes. I suggest Absinthe chasers, or lager with Absinthe in it. Heh heh heh. And crackers aplenty. Otherwise we’d all have cheesy fingers and we don’t want that, now do we? Unless of course, I’m referring to cheesy fingers as in the pleasant savoury alternative to crackers. We just don’t know. Maybe Absinthe crackers? Crack crackers? Adrian, sign yourself up. You sound appropriate.

premiumI’m going away for a few days’ holiday very early on Tuesday morning. Drinking a lot of asbinthe and eating a lot of cheese the day before would be just about the most ridiculous thing I could do. See you there!

I’ll bake a booze cake, how about that?
Maybe the Guinness™ and ginger one that squeaks when you hit it with a knife.
Yum!

There used to be a night called absinthesis in Sheffield, which was incredibly dangerous. The last time I had to drag a normally docile friend of mine away from his prone position outside the venue, where he was growling and trying to bite peoples’ ankles. After which he managed to combine laughing hysterically and projectile vomiting concurrently in a way that I had never thought physically possible.
Absinthe is great.

premiumI’ve never had cheese. Didn’t they used to eat it in France a lot? I’ve heard it can give you bad dreams.

Absinthe and cheese, surely a recipe for the worst hangover you’ll ever have…

Though my dad says it causes cardiac muscle softening, weakening your vital organs. Something about absinthe makes the heart go fondant.

I used to keep a bottle of Bulgarian (Hapsburg?) absinthe in the house, the strongest Gerry’s off licence stocked. I eyed it warily, I sipped it occasionally, I was scared of it’s potent power. ‘Til one night I’d had several too many of everything else and me and a flatmate necked it all in double quick time. Fuck me, I’ve never been so underwhelmingly quite pissed in my life, no madness, no greco-roman wrestling on the street, nothing but a pleasant taste, a fuzzy head and a hangover which was coming anyway.
Does lighting it really make that much difference, or am I inordinately rock like eh?

Oh i’ve been going insane looking for an excuse to buy an absinthe-spoon type thing (all my other spoons good old-fashioned heroin-melting spoons that i would not dream of tainting thusly) – nevermind my final the next day. See your softened vital organs next monday.

Hang on. Absinthe on a school night? Not sure if I’m quite that hardcore. Specially as I may be homeless by then. Homeless with an absinthe hangover isn’t how I want to picture myself.
