I stopped commuting by bike five years ago, following an embarrassing accident, in a grave yard. You weren't looking where you were going and biked in to an open grave? |

I googled Sun Tzu, stripped naked (took off my jacket) and ran the gauntlet to the buffet car. Timing was terrible and I got stuck behind the trolley, meaning having to engage in several minutes of banter about whether or not I was the stripper. On reflection, probably the nicest thing anyone has said to me all week.

“Beer and wine and beer and wine and beer and wine and then a pudding wine, oh a Muscat will be fine, Tokaj? oh why not then perhaps a digestif and then a spot of wine and, is there any more of that whisky and wine and you’ll feel absolutely marvellous, for a time.” Always good to have some McVities in there. |

No beer with a meal, you should have that prior to starters before you sit down. white wine with fish and white meat - chicken lamb - Red wine with red - red snapper, Beef/Pork/Sirloin. Pudding wine with Trifle or Xmas Pud - shouldn't be used with anything that has Ice cream, Ice cream needs white (med. or med/dry). never mix grape and grain.. or snake bite and black.. or guinness and rum/coke! ps - I'm now teetotal! |

So old fashioned to colour code your wine with the food

Games: none TV: none Apart from essentials I've slept since 3pm yesterday, waking at noon - pain and weariness at nearly normal levels, but I suspect the ghostly hand that flicks the sleep switch on isn't finished.. Just heard that that piece of Philth, "Your pensions are my yacht" Khakis is dropping his injunction against that custodian of journalistic inadequacy, the Bush Telegraph. So far, so many chuckling, rich lawyers ... But however low your opinion*, of that individual is, the Shitgraph's application to bar any further injunctions by the Yachtsman Pirate against that organ of variable probity was a breath-taking attempt by them to get a carte blanche to publish any allegations as truth, however wild... Mind you, that would only have put Khakis on the same footing as the majority of us who lack the funds to hold that piece of toilet paper to account.  *and mine puts him above Adolf Hitler, but below Gordon "£5 billion p.a. Pension Stealer" Brown... |

Pinot Noir – light meats, chicken, grilled anything, salmon. Merlot – pasta, red meat, duck, smoked or grilled foods Zinfandel – tomato pasta dishes, pizza, pesto, red meats, chicken with heavy sauces Cabernet Sauvignon – red meats, especially a juicy barbequed steak, grilled and smoked foods. Syrah – red meats, spicy pizzas, herbed sauces on red meat, turkey, smoked meats Dry Rosé – salads, pasta salads, BBQ chicken or fish, light spicy foods |

Can't you just drink whatever wine you like, rather than have to check a pre-approved list?

I do have a bike, but it’s purely mechanical. I once gave a presentation in work in full Lycra- and I normally look like I’ve swallowed a Shenguin for lunch. I stopped commuting by bike five years ago, following an embarrassing accident, in a grave yard. I now only use it once a week to go to Tai Chi classes. Yep I was thinking of sandybahookie |

All this wine nonsense! You get all these wine people, don't you? Wine this, wine that. Let's have a bit of red, let's have a bit of white. Ooh, that's a snazzy bouquet. Oh, this smells of, I don't know, basil. Sometimes you just want to say, sod all this wine, just give me a pint of, mineral water.

I have tried beer after wine.
And wine after beer.
And beer after beer
And wine after wine.
I could have told them it is the quantities that matter.
If you get properly pissed up there is a significant risk of a hangover.
My top tip is a couple of Duvels as a night cap. (That is after, not instead of everything else)
