Guilty pleasures ...Gentlemen take their cigars whilst the ladies....

[GrumpyGregry]

...withdraw.

I've spent the week feeling ghastly due to malechavanistpigflu.

I find myself in the garden listening to Samuel Barber on spotify whilst smoking a rather fine Cohiba with a coffee and a '61 armanac. The coffee I paid for with the sweat of my brow but the other items were gifts.

Am I being irredeemably decadent to do this whilst the world seems to go to hell in a hand cart around me?

What guilty pleasures do you indulge in when the day has gone to rat shoot?

 

[Wigsie]

A marlboro and a peroni in the garden, then i'll usually throw one out!

 

[Aperitif]

I'll drink a whole bottle of Vosne Romanée with a large bag of Walkers Sensations - Mozarella flavour probably...

The world is a hellish place if you let it catch you up...best keep one step ahead.

Used to be champagne, now it's a cheap swiss version. The Titanic and violinist approach to the credit crunch.

Whilst the whisky producers of Scotland continue their sterling work, there shall always be a refuge.

And fine cheeses.

As corrected I can see where you are coming from

I'll always take my fill of Bush if needs must.

now that is decadent

 

[Bigtwin]

Just for clarity, is that the same as knocking one out?

Powers please, or a Middleton if we are celebrating a Grand Slam. (It's a case of irish blood, English heart you see, the surname is Collins) To be fair the Scots do make a passable impersonation of whiskey when they put their minds to it. But if I want peat I'll go to a garden centre....

 

[GrumpyGregry]

And fine cheeses.

so 'fess up....

..which varieties of milk's bid for immortality are we talking here? I'm always willing to learn from a master on the cheese front.

Yeah, well, it's been a while. Someone gave me a bottle of Welsh whisicky - that was just rank.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

I assumed so.

 

[Bigtwin]

I assumed so.

I rather hoped not.

the lovely Helen just came and finished my Cohiba and declared her small part of the Armanac "rather good" but she is much better bred than yours truly, her "bit of rough".
