The **Now Drinking** Thread

I wish I could pay £50 a ticket for the ROH! They're nearly 4 times more expensive there for decent seats, but at the end of the day you get what you pay.

Ballet is beautiful, start with one of the 'popular' ones, you'll most likely recognise music from them - Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, Nutcracker (best to see this at Christmas time) or Sleeping Beauty and Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet or Cinderella. Generally ballet is cheaper than opera.

/On topic - Drinking the rest of the Rioja from yesterday.

Plus, the footfall in London is far greater than Glasgow. Though yesterday was basically full! I'm not sure it would attract quite the same number of people if stalls were priced at £100 a pop. Despite being the countries 3rd biggest city, Glasgow doesn't have any starred restaurants which some see as a comment on the type of people who live here!

Drinking some White Burgundy from M&S. Nice!

1 litre of Twinings English Breakfast tea in my 34oz Bubba Keg :D

As it's Sunday, today is Bloody Mary day. I will be making a large jug of it in time for the footie. I'll have to nip to the shop for limes though - for some reason Waitrose chose not to substitute the unwaxed limes they didn't have for my online order yesterday - I find it hard to believe they had no limes at all (even the delivery girl thought it was odd).
 
On to the Bloody Marys now.

Stan's Bloody Mary recipe:

500ml Good tomato juice (Pressed juice, not from concentrate - I'm using Waitrose today but Morrison's do a good one as well).
500ml Good vodka (I'm using Russian standard today).
1tsp Celery salt
1tsp Worcestershire sauce
1tsp Salt
1/2tsp White pepper
Dash Tabasco sauce
Juice 1 Lime

The above recipe makes a good jug which keeps me sipping away on a Sunday afternoon. I like to taste the vodka so I make mine half and half, obviously you can adjust to taste. Also, I'm a bit of a salt freak so you may want to tone down the salt if you prefer.

Don't put ice in the jug - by the time you get to the end, the cocktail will be so diluted, it won't be good. If you must use ice, put it in the glass. I prefer just to keep the jug in my beer fridge and drink it without ice.
 
ASDA Pilsner. Just finished work, was dying for a beer!

:) Asda theme continued ...

Few cans of tennents, to settle my nerves while checkin the score in the newcastle v man city game. Draw or a win for newcastle, im off to the pub to watch united hopefully beat swansea.
 
Celtic lost, Rangers didn't win, Aberdeen didn't win, Arsenal didn't win. A good weekend of football for me. Question, who do I support?

A glass of white Burgundy. Going to nip to Tesco for some more beer and dinner though, but what to have?
