MORNING

 

[Soldi]

Still in bed after my first day off in god knows how long

 

[Rita]

Hi Soldi, hun.

 

[OutSynk]

This SHAMELESS promo.

 

[Rita]

I am ready to submit my votes. I have spent the morning COMPILING.

 

[ButterTart]

Ola. Just led a Skype meeting, which pisses me off because my favourite thing about them is usually that I can sit there playing on my phone and not listening.

 

[ButterTart]

I am ready to submit my votes. I have spent the morning COMPILING.

I’m hoping to get some DANCE RATE votes from you before 5 tomorrow as well.

Oh don’t worry darling, you will. I like to cut it as close to the bone as possible.

 

[Lucille]

Oh don’t worry darling, you will. I like to cut it as close to the bone as possible.

Like when you dismember your LOVERS

 

[Lucille]

Morning all, I've somehow ended up at work half an hour early.

 

[SDF]

Is the results show tonight?

 

[Pingu]

It’s my sister’s birthday today. She’s at home in Belfast with my parents and since they can’t go out or have people round, they’re throwing a whole Mexican themed day for her. Fajitas, a piñata, the works.

Woke up today to find my mum has sent a load of sombreros and moustaches to the flat so my flatmates and I can join later by Zoom, and she’s send money for margarita ingredients too.

Bless her.

 

[Pingu]

Don’t think my flatmates are too keen, mind.

 

[Kate]

Not even for free margaritas?

 

[Pingu]

Not even for free margaritas?

They’re “not that fussed” on margaritas the ungrateful twats.

In fairness they are joining in despite one of them only having met my sister once or twice so I shouldn’t expect miracles!

And I don’t really like margaritas much either so I might just make some sort of gin-based confection that looks the part instead.

 

[Kate]

Fair enough. I hate tequila as well.

 

[Lucille]

Who is NOT FUSSED about margaritas

Tequila drunk is firmly established as the BEST type of drunk.

OLD FASHIONED GET IN ME NOW

 

[Tisch]

I do have the ingredients for a Bloody Mary actually. Is 12:42 too early? It's not like I'm getting any WORK DONE.

It's 42 minutes too LATE for a Bloody Mary hun.

11 anything with gin
-1 anything with tequila

 

[Tisch]

it is usually consumed in the morning or early afternoon, and is popular as a hangover cure.

I didn't know that! I normally knock them back dancing the night away in Heaven!

(this is not true)

 

[Rita]

I LOVE a Margarita. I also love a good mojito and most cocktails to be honest to the surprise of NO ONE.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I am having a slow day at work, which means I am dipping into some Moopy Gold.

Imagine calling an ELEVEN year old a CUNT on a BOUNCY CASTLE!?

Thirteen is surely the youngest acceptable age?

My favourite thing about that thread if I remember rightly is how everyone assumes he's talking about a teenager or young adult, and slowly it comes out that the child was ELEVEN

 

[Lucille]

Mojitos are all well and good, but only if it's extremely hot. The biggest problem with them is I can drink about 10 in an hour.

 

[ButterTart]

11 NEGRONI

11 Old Fashioned

 

[Lucille]

Old Fashioned's are okay, I just always thought it was for queens who can't handle their whisky straight though.

 

[ButterTart]

Georgia Airlines have just confirmed they’ve cancelled my flight. Now to brave their contact centre so I can change the dates.

 

[Tisch]

11 Anything with rum, citrus, ginger beer, bitters
-1 Anything with cream

 

[Tisch]

Hell no, a good Old Fashioned is STRONG.

 

[ButterTart]

There’s a place in the Northern Quarter that does amazing ones. They’re strong as fuck, which is a huge part of the appeal.

 

[Lucille]

I obviously prefer a Sazaerac which is basically the same but ups the ante with some cognac and a splash of absinthe.

1/4 oz Absinthe
One sugar cube
1 1/2 oz Rye whiskey and/or Cognac
Three dashes Peychaud's Bitters

 

[Rita]

What about a LONG ISLAND ICED TEA? Now that fucker is STRONG.

 

[Kate]

I like my whisky like I like my men. SCOTTISH and STRAIGHT.

 

[Pingu]

I used to hate these but only because I don’t like coke. Recently realised that if you substitute it with tropical red bull it’s quite delicious!

Yes that’s probably BLASPHEMOUS.
