I have lost the art of enjoying bland fun.

Whilst re-stocking the blandy I also took the opportunity to reacquaint myself with a couple of cans of Tetley's and also some Kilkenny ale

I think that the pate may have turned out OK, but it is over 35 years since I made my last batch

I had twelve bottles of whisky in my cellar and my wife told me to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink... or else!

So, I said I would... and proceeded with the unpleasant task.

I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured the contents down the sink, with the exception of one glass... which I drank.

I extracted the cork from the second bottle and did likewise with the exception of one glass... which I drank.

I pulled the cork from the third bottle and poured the whiskey down the sink, with the exception of one glass... which I drank.

I then withdrew the cork from the fourth sink and poured the bottle down the glass... which I drank.

I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and drank one sink out of it and threw the rest down the glass.

I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork from the bottle.
Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink and drank the pour.

When I had everything emptied I steadied the house with one hand, counted the bottles, corks, glasses and sinks with the other, which were twenty-nine.
To make sure I counted them again... they came to seventy-four.

And as the house came by, I counted them again, and finally I had all the houses and bottles and corks and sinks and glasses counted,except one house and one cork... which l drank.

I'm not half so think as you might drunk, but I fool so feelish that the drunker I stand here the longer I get.

I'm going to make some Chicken Liver Pate this morning, but first I need more blandy, although I could use a mixture of Port and Blandy.

The weird thing is, I look at the blandy bottle to see how much is left, then have to taste it to make sure that it hasn't gone off.

The first glass is always a bit 'iffy' and by the time I've decided that 'it will do' most of the contents of the bottle have evaporated :-S :-S

I knew an atomic scientist who had 'ahem' a social disease, as they used to be coyly referred to in the past.

But, with the appropriate treatment he came out with a nuclear weapon

Not really, he'd be a bit on the nose, now :-0
