It all started when I sold him a dodgy Audi

Nice customer (He's brings me a flat white from McDonalds every time he comes in (I'm on about four) has brought me in a 15 year old bottle of Southern Comfort as a 'thank you' the seals is broken but other the bottle looks new and full. Worth a punt or bin it?

What strength is it? I got my dad a bottle of the 50% stuff for Christmas and he says it was great. They proper stuff is basically the bourbon equivalent of spiced rum.

I'd drink that.

Since a university experience with it, even the smell of Southern Comfort makes me retch.

Yeah I am exactly the same. I used to drink it a fair bit but I can't even smell it now.

Sambuca?
That was another one for me but I am ok with it now, just have no desire to drink it.

I do it with cider every now and then but the recharge rate is quicker. Whenever I'm ready for cider again I love it.

There's a Blackbird with little chicks in a nest in the hedge in our back yard. A nice little thing in these miserable shit times.

Suitable.

Oh those things, they get everywhere.

Love that tune.

Bird update. One of the little ones fell out of the nest and was hiding in some leaves on the ground squeaking. I felt terrible but it seems maybe it was intentional. The parent bird is hanging around trying to encourage it and I think it might be getting ready to fly by itself. I was reading up and sometimes the fledgling bird stays on the ground for a few days to become independent.

We've been plagued with an intermittent, seemingly random, hammering noise in our house for a few months. It sounded like the next door neighbours (semi detached) were doing DIY, but there has been no one in there since Christmas, and no one has been doing any work on it.

It sounds louder if we have the window open, so we figured it must be someone doing something outside, but whenever we go outside it stops, and as it's random we never know when would be a good time to check.

Anyway, on my dash out of the door today to try and identify which dickhead neighbour was causing the noise, I noticed two big crows flying off the roof of the house, which coincidened with the noise stopping. I reckon they've figured out some technique for opening a nut or snail or similar that involves using part of my roof as an anvil. I'm not sure how to get rid of the buggers.

Tldr; birds are shits.

Lol oops

Seems like even though Im drunk im still sensible

I’m convinced this War of the Worlds adaptation on Fox is the perfect viewing right now. A story of sudden global apocalypse where a simple virus eventually saves the day.
