We NEVER use cases.:rolleyes:
Wifey favours those bags you attach a vacuum cleaner too which sucks everything down into a smaller package. And all the rest either goes in those fold up crates which are such a good fit in the back of a D2, or a D1. Or, as you say, into bags of one sort or another.
Never known a place where a case is a good idea, except maybe an aircraft hold, where they need to be strong as feck to withstand the way baggage handlers throw them around and stack them. ;)

Creme de menthe is green.
Vodka can be any colour you want, I spose. If you don't want the natural taste of vodka, which isn't much.
Which i think is why it is the bevvy of preference for alkys.
Replaces gin in too many cocktails for my liking!:(:(:(
And I mean proper gin, that tastes of gin, not the sort that todays yoof think is so "sofisticated".
If you want sloe gin then make some. FFS!
Rant over!

Did hear somewhere that squaddies during various wars used to drink it in the days when it was a form of alcohol. They must have been desperate!

Fascinating!!!!
 
Moring all, (he says, at 12 mins pas 3!)
Played around with Wifey's flippin trail camera which didn't work AGAIN last night!:mad::mad::mad:
Tested it set to "video" and it worked. Came to the conclusion may not have shoved the 3 position switch completely over to the left to put it to "on".:rolleyes:
Anyway, will try it again tonite!;)
House now littered with bags and crates.
Soon will be starting the "quart into a pint pot" exercise.:rolleyes:
Give her her due, Wifey does always manage to cram more in than you'd think possible.
Raining at the mo, first time for a while, well during the day.:(

Mother-in-law used to make her own 'gin' variant, by pouring it into a marrow with the top chopped off, some of the seeds scooped out a handfull of dates or dried fruit chucked in, topped with a bottle of London gin ...

Leave a week, poke a hole in the bottom with a knitting needle, strain resultant liquid ...

decant and serve over ice ...

And why not!:):):):):)
All in favour of "rolling your own" as it is termed in the cocktail world.;)
All you need to know is the basic principles, as in cooking tbh!:rolleyes:

Sadly too many don't understand these though.:mad::mad:
