My Mum loved this stuff when I was younger. Only problem was, when I nicked it out of her drink cabniet to take to parties I looked proper gay!!

[mccfluff]

Fluffster, you are starting to hurt my feelings. If you carry on I may be forced to come to Tamworth and forcefeed you Cinzano, Poo and Lemonade Cocktails

[mccfluff]

brown martini?

bring it on pieface, tenner say's you'll be under the table before me!

[thetruthhurts]

Very 70's. It was the drink that women drank before they really knew what to drink....if that makes sense.

[bobjugs12]

Tenner says you wimp out before I do! Especially when I bring out the beer mats for a game of freckles!!

[mccfluff]

ok i'll bite what's freckles?

Freckles:

A military game usually played in the NAAFI by pissed servicemen.

Equipment:
Round Table
Beer Mat
Several Pissed Blokes
A Heavy Weight
A Freshly Curled Soggy Poo
A Strong Stomach

Place poo in the centre of the table, and everyone sits around the table, at equal distance from each other.
Gently lay the beer mat atop the poo, then drop the weight onto the beer mat.
The individual with the least amount of poo on his face wins, the individual with the most (the 'freckliest) loses and has to buy the next round.

Et voila, Freckles

Have I just lowered the tone of Food And Drink??

[mccfluff]

as i'm not a p!ssed serviceman i don't count and i'm never playing that game. ever.

[mccfluff]

yes we are all sensible in here
