    I can enjoy a glass of wine, I've even been known to polish off a bottle and I cook with it a lot, but this headline made me realise that I'm an absolute lightweight !

    Strewth. We don't even get Boxing Day off to recover over here.

    The Irish Cream option is rather nice. Not sure about the Bovril. Does this work with Marmite?

    Worth trying. I find that I need a nap mid-afternoon nowadays, if I have more than one glass of beer at lunchtime.

    'Kippers' come to mind, or even to hand: see avatar.

    Quite a while ago, now, School 1st XV often did a run out against local area league sides, whose more senior forwards routinely had a predilection not to shave on Saturdays and to grind accordingly in the scrum. We learned to offset this psychological tactic by eating half a garlic before taking the field. Referees often asked who had been 'on the curry'. Woodsie was garlic intolerant, so sucked half a beef OXO instead, straight from the foil. His breath thereafter was accredited as being able to drop a Gorilla at 5 paces. I don't think I'll take you up on your option, but OXO milk shakes might be an offering to visitors before All Hallows next.

    Baileys is an ersatz version of White Russians.
    It's fine, but if you haven't - try making the easiest cocktail in the world (In a square glass. No. Really.).
    Picture yourself as a 50s executive having a lunchtime/meeting snifter.
    Vodka/Kahlua/Milk (Ideally gold top) - equal quantities - thank me later.
    Not cream, or any nonsense with chocolate swirled on glasses or, urgh, sodding ice cream - keep it simple. All else is lies.

    The Fishwife seems to have spent a lifetime without realising Baileys was a liqueur, and therefore c.20%.
    Assumed it was much weaker.
    Drank a litre of it on her own a couple of Christmases ago.
    It. Was. Brilliant.
    The boys still talk about it. :unsure:
    One kitchen cupboard is still slightly broken.

    Chimay again, and old-fashioned radios. Old motorcycles too...and fruit tree blossom.

    And I thought I was the only one making my own Baileys.

    Irish whiskey, kahula and (the only time I get posh) barista oat milk.

    As you say......keep it simple.
