At the RWC final last year, Mrs periscopes and I diverted some lovely Kiwis we met from drinking Heineken on to Bollinger. That's quite a premium drink.

Aspall's is so much better.

I'm like that with white wine.
Cider is my favourite warm-weather beverage as a result.

I'm a real ale drinker, and I absolutely love beer.

Hallo Dave! You're my wife now!

Be grateful for rum.

We have a small garden room at the back of our house, that we call our "booze lounge". It has a TV set-up, bookshelves, and a liquor cabinet. It comes in very handy for parties and the like. I especially love being in the position of having to decide between Cognac and Armagnac for a digestif.

I just started to re-read "The Princess Bride" last night. I hadn't even thought of why, but I guess it's comfort reading for me.

The scene in Lois' apartment, for a while we only see Reeve: he's talking to her in an adjacent room, considering telling her who he really is.

Brexit and Hillary's failure suggest that we need to sort this out.

Me. I've had several months of thinking "well, we're fucked". I just had to decide to live my life and try and re-engage with the idiots in the (UK) electorate. Then I moved on with things, and am happily sex-crazed again.

I loved that show!

I only get an election every four years. Sad!

Clever?

I think he has to stop when he sleeps. It may be a technicality..
