The Trouble with A Liquid Lunch

I'm not sure if I have remembered it quite how it was but........

I am sat here at home after finishing early for a change, and have just downed two pints of Adnams Broadside.....this (lovely) image has not done me a lot of good

Love it!

Reminds me of  the time back in the day when me an' Bandy Bickerstaffe went to a Rock Festival just outside Wigan. Mam made me wear a really thick, itchy jumper and a set of dad's thermal undercrackers. She also packed me a 'proper dinner' made up of corned beef doorsteps, a slab of grandma's Lardy Cake and a flask of hot Vimto. "An' keep away from them bloody hippies" was her parting call.

Bandy, on the other hand, turned out wearing a bright yellow vest, purple loon pants and a pair of sparkly baseball boots. Over his shoulder was a WW2 gas mask bag containing a bottle of water, twelve Jaffa Cakes and a tooled-leather pouch containing what Bandy referred to as 'da sacred 'erb'.

Later on, just as Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band had the entire crowd in their grip with the finest, grooviest tunes imaginable, Bandy took a short break from snogging Mandy Butterworth, passed me a funny-looking Woodbine thingy and uttered the immortal words 'get thi gob round that mi owd cocker'. In the next twelve minutes, I slid down a rainbow, had a face-to-face with a small group of fairies and resolved never to drink soddin' Vimto again.

I'll never forget the look on Mam's face when she asked if I'd had a nice time and I replied "far out, Mam, far out".

Glad I saw this prior to my cataract op .... I could have been making a complaint to the hospital  otherwise and embarrassed myself no end
