Mine is, I started drinking in the local boozer when I was 16, she rarely touches the stuff.
I didn't start till 20. All my money went to buy my GT750 for cash at 19

I was chatting with some girls who let on that they were 14.

This was like 1994.

I assume your daughter has been buying pints for at least 2 years, or are kids different these days?
Mine is 16 now, last part he went to get took 4 Peroni and brought back ,3.
Apart from NYE last year he's never drunk anything more than water. He's tried coke, juice, but nope he hated them

We are doing a booze run next weekend to England. Think we save almost a fiver on a bottle of spirits and the border is only 40 miles away.

Just got back from Tesco, without the club card you'd be proper shafted. Good discounts on Taliska whisky amongst others. Not forgetting the Advacaat for the ladies, tbh I quite like a strong snowball myself. Baileys on offer aswel.

Get it done. 🍹👍

Stormy weather has one advantage....just got an email from Octopus, between 7 and 9am tomorrow any electricity I use over my normal average amount in that same window is free :thumbup:

I've already set the washing machine and dishwasher on timer :obscene-birdiedoublered:

Well maybe not. No celebratory food and 2 days, and out again early tomorrow, spending most of my waking hours on a missing person search.

So I had an overnighter with my wife Friday.

Saturday my daughter is having her mates round and BF for her 17th birthday. Her actual birthday is next week, but there we go. To make way and ensure I don't go mad, I've taken the boys away (my 3 youngest) for the night. We've spent the day doing fun stuff, rounding off their evening with a pint in the brew dog and a few goes in a sky diving simulator thing.

Tonight, back at the flat- I've just finished watching MOTD with my eldest who is at Swansea. We synch' up the TV together and watch live and then call each other on WhatsApp and chat shit for throughout the footie. Today, Spurs walloped City 4-0 and we've had a right laugh. I really look forward to the MOTD chats and all things told, today has been close to perfect.
