That makes you think you...Tequila is the only drink<br />That makes you think you're Ghengis Khan<br />Or Superman.<br />And when your spouse runs through the house -<br />Well, waddaya know<br />Brigitte Bardot!<br /><br />I bought a self published book of poems by a man called Jake Trussell, 'the Texan poet' in a Portsmouth folk club when i was sixteen, and drinking (God help me!) Brickwoods bitter. That was the only poem I remember, and I can't forget it, however much I drink!Jan Needlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823078224282953782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-72738670961085168852014-02-15T12:18:17.183+00:002014-02-15T12:18:17.183+00:00omg Barley Wine was lethal stuff!

Well I can't drink alcohol at all these days (migraine trigger :( ) though I hope to get back to it one day and spend the autumn of my years wasted on tequila and cocaine. ATM I can't even eat a cube of cheese. But brilliant idea for 'merchandising' or adding value to two great 'brands'! Good luck with Wild Wood, Julia has clearly spotted a winner and it's going to be fab.

Instead, I have polluted the body God gave me with wines from France, Chile, New Zealand, Italy, Germany and even America and South Africa. My excesses also include pouring Bailey's over my ice cream. There is no health in me. How many bottles of Greenfield's must I drink to atone?<br />P.S. I do, however, share your tendency to avoid taking too many things seriously, and I like the sound of that first novel. My own first has won me a couple of awards but nowadays clearly needs a lift. I shall trawl the vicinity for recipes.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.com
