Because various family members have spent some time in Poland, I've managed to get my hands on a truly wonderful spirit.

Spirytus, in short. Polish rectified spirits, illegal for non-medical use in most of Europe, and clocking in at a distinctly impressive 96% pure ethanol. Admittedly, it does contain water, but only because it's impossible to ( Read more... )

Ooo, Ara's on.

It might be a little dead cause of Whitby, but perhaps a brief spell in Ara followed by a pilgrimage to the shitehole that is Jilly's might be in order?

I'm sure I could deal with the place if I was adequately fortified against its deleterious effects. 96% ethanol allows for a great deal of fortification.

Jilly's on a Friday. Oh dear, oh dear.

Alcohol is my shepherd; I shall want more.

He maketh me lie down in a pool of my own vomit, he leads me to pass water.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of troglodytes, I will fear no stupidity, for booze is with me; your incoherence and inebriation, they comfort me.

Surely fear and loathing will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the nearest police cell forever.

Yeah, it's a rectified spirit, and such things have been fairly popular each time I've been to Eastern Europe.

I second ArA, but would not be accompanying you to Jilly's. I'll see you there no doubt. If you're free beforehand, fancy coming to Altrincham for some chinese?

Aah, I'm mostly broke, and Jilly's depends on just how much I'm able to drink at Ara. There's gonna be a fine line between 'drunk enough to think Jilly's and its concomitants is a good idea' and 'too drunk to stand up', y'see.
