h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It tastes very strongly of blue carucao (or whatever it's called) and is so disgustingly sweet that I had to down to s very quickly afterward to get the taste out of my mouth !

now I know enough to say
most unpleasant alcoholic experience I had recently was a bottle of Muscadet. That was all sweet and yukky and to think I liked the stuff about 20 years ago

I can't deal with overly sweet drinks...or overly creamy drinks...which is why I prefer to stick to beer and basic spirits

whenever I'm out for a meal and people start on the Irish coffees and the like I always just have a brandy
why ruin a perfectly good drink and a perfectly good by mixing them
mind you if we ever took Lampost out drinking it would have to be to a cocktail bar as the only things that have tempted her so far have been pretty colours and little umbrellas

That's a perfectly sound answer...although I have found that, when making coffee at home, Irish cream will always substitute nicely for milk...

...that's just the kind of girl I am...always running out of milk but bound to have alcohol in the house

I don't even know what girls drink....most of the girls I know drink vodka or those girly fizzy drinks......

but a lot of men drink
mind you I did when I was about 16 but that was because it was a cheap way to get drunk

Aye, I know boys who drink ...the way I figure it is, the more people I know who drink things I won't, the safer my drink is in their presence !

thats a good policy
pubs aren't usually too bad but parties can be a nightmare, all the good booze goes and at 4:00 AM all thats left is cider or a really cheap sweet white wine

Aye, but how much does it bother you at 4am ?

I believe that's why we used to call it "pop wine"!

PS: back to the topic -- I have to hide EVERYTHING! Fortunately, not too many cool people have me on their itinerary.

I must admit I never went through a cheap wine stage...but then I was only at uni for a year....

...but if all the people know you, surely they are aware that all of your music is ?

if I'm drunk enough to drink it I probably won't remember it the next day but I've also developed cunning
now its something for the party and a small bottle of brandy for the wee small hours
that and my paranoia about running out of cigarettes means that I usually become very popular by the wee small hours

back on subject, makes attempt not to sound like old alkie

so what are you hiding Spacecadette

It should all be in a time capsule, I believe....

Beatles (but not their whole catalogue!), Stones, Who, Tracy Chapman, Lyle Lovett, Bowie's very first album, Ashleigh MacIssac, ... ya know, there's a pattern here -- almost no American stuff!!

I think the most recent stuff I have is a couple of charity-release compilations from the very late nineties ..... and it's Counting Crows, Dishwalla and Common Sense type stuff, from a now-defunct aternative station I used to love.

Ahhhh, most recent CD (just checked) is a local artist named Sean Wiggins -- and I KNOW none of you have heard of her!


This is ridiculous!! I listen to fairly recent stuff, I just don't buy it. But if I did, it probably wouldn't be very cool. Sigh.





SC

Hmmm. Beatles, Stones, the first Bowie album (crazy eyes and all), Tracy Chapman, Ashleigh MacIssac....a couple of charity-release CDs from a now defunct aternative station I used to love, from the extremely late 90s. My late husband's old Firesign Theatre albums (yes, ON VINYL!).

I think the most recent CD I have is by someone local named Sean Wiggins, and I'd be shocked if any of you have heard of her....

SC

you're right I haven't heard of Sean Wiggins but all the rest sounds pretty decent
I gave up listening to new music (except when its by someone I know or someone says listen to this its really good) about 15 years ago so you're keeping up better than me
1 thing I need is a decent 2nd hand record player
I've got boxes of lps in 1 of my cupboards

oops! Sorry for the double post -- H2G2 said page not available when I posted the first, so I repeated.


And I confessed to my musical faux pas twice!!

"1 thing I need is a decent 2nd hand record player

MOST of my collection is on vinyl and finding a new turntable is a nightmare! They cost more proportionally than they did when vinyl was the only choice!

At first I just imposed on my friends to "please tape this, I don't have a turntable". Now my last turntable source is looking for someone with a turntable, just when it was time to ask him to burn me a CD instead!

>> most unpleasant alcoholic experience I had recently was a bottle of Muscadet. That was all sweet and yukky <<

It was either off, then, or it was actually Muscat, not Muscadet.


I don't have a recording of it, but last night I went to see the band so good they named it twice. And they lived up to expectations.

I'm putting all my CDs on my hard disc because its just a matter of time before built-in obselesence catches up with me
