But, I need to go two weeks with little or no alcohol and I am fed up with soft drinks, especially the low calorie type. These have given me at least something different to help get by the weekends when I drink the most. By mixing a few together I have been able to enjoy something different. The sureal bit is getting no buzz and waking up in the morning with no hangover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifelad55 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Water - because of a couple of strokes in the last 4 years, I rarely drink alcohol these days. I also have an enlarged prostate and I piss enough without alcohol making me piss even more. Go fo a PWS blood test in AprilĀ On the plus side, I've been off the blood pressure pills for 6 months now (doctor's orders) and it's fine so I must be doing something right. My left leg and arm are both very weak though I do spend some time on my exercise bike twice a day . 8 minutes morning and afternoon though will increase to 9 minutes from Monday ( March 1 and then to 10 minutes on the 15th) Alan Ā Ā I 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I saw a bottle of Vintage Port on sale in our large local Tesco Lotus for 599 baht yesterday. They just have to had missed a 1 or 2 before the 5 on the label. I simply could not be bothered to walk to the desk at the front of the store to get the price checked because they constantly put items above the wrong price tag without being able to read if the bar code number matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the price had been on the bottle I would have gone for it, not a bad price for a bottle of Port in Thailand.Ā I remember when Blue Port (excuse the pun) opened in Hua Hin and I was visiting the supermarket to see a whole load of scallops on sale for 60 baht, should have been 600.Ā Luckily I got it for the 60 baht but the following week it was back at the correct price.

I've got a click & collect at ASDA tomorrow for 19 bottles of wine. Particularly good is the Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc - it's already on offer at Ā£8(from Ā£10) so you get it for Ā£6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
