Whisky mac's the Christmas drink of choice round these parts.A whisky mac. One of my favourite drinks. My Nan made me one when I was about 16 and I never looked back. Naughty Nan.

Won't that make it stick to the sides of the £20 note ?She'll be want some of my single malt with coke next!
My dad would get me out of bed to watch TV late at night at Christmas if my mum was working a night shift (she's a nurse) and give me whisky macs. I think I developed a taste for them.A whisky mac.

She ran out of time what with moving house and everything so she bought one and was decorating it tonight. Maybe if she'd actually made it weeks ago I'd have let her have a little cognac, maybe not.Can I just ask why she's leaving it so late to add cognac to the cake? It should have been done weeks ago.
Hmm that reminds me of one of the times I was in trouble at school ... Teachers were striking but our year was one of the few that didn't get the day off. So we headed off to the high street and bought a bottle of whiskey which we consumed, we were caught because one of the group decided to decorate the school loos in a spectacular fashion and then fall asleep in the middle of it! I just remember getting a scolding, though I'm not sure that my parents were informed.Got wretchedly drunk on a bottle of scotch (don't ask me which one) with a mate to celebrate leaving school in 1976.
Nearly 40 years later, still can't touch the stuff without feeling sick!
Is this 1980's education where most teachers had "liquid" lunches? I had a chemistry teacher who tried to demonstrate a reaction between hydrogen peroxide and blood. Nothing happened. He then went on to say, famously, "Of course, this reaction fails in the prescence of alcohol"Hmm that reminds me of one of the times I was in trouble at school ...

Definitely the 80's, and I had a chemistry teacher as a form tutor one year, he was fun and silly, and used to to spot checks to try to catch the boys who smoked who seemed to know the routine too and would stuff them down the front of their trousers.Is this 1980's education where most teachers had "liquid" lunches?

I used to undo the bar end plugs of my bike and have 2 or 3 cig's with matches hidden in the drops each day. Glad I gave it up.Definitely the 80's, and I had a chemistry teacher as a form tutor one year, he was fun and silly, and used to to spot checks to try to catch the boys who smoked who seemed to know the routine too and would stuff them down the front of their trousers.
If you thought teachers drank at lunchtime in the 80s it was nothing to what they did in the 60s-70s when I was at school, half of them were pie-eyed after lunch and the PE teachers had mostly been shagging in the showers of the gym/swimming pool.Is this 1980's education where most teachers had "liquid" lunches?

Quite right too! A really good single malt is very drinkable without adding anything, and that includes ice. Cheap scotch can be very nice with coke or ginger beer. I'm drinking Grouse with ginger wine tonight.
Newcastle Brown Ale is that one for me.Got wretchedly drunk on a bottle of scotch (don't ask me which one) with a mate to celebrate leaving school in 1976.
