@PAW That recipe may have got a highland army slaughtered at Culloden. Yon "Bonnie Prince" and his Irish friend liked a drink or two, and if they were drinking that, they would have been in a right old state.
@PAW I find the easiest way to get women to drink is to offer them one, then after the "I really shouldn't" you are left with the problem of stopping the b*ggers.
Smarmeron - I have realised there are two sorts of women, the ones I know, and all the cheerful, happy, not complaining, not moaning, not hating their jobs, good-time girls I see with other people.
JBriskin - I think that was the objection. I had a friend who was cocktail bar, but occasionally I would take to Mrs Macks, a dorset country pub - the seats were from scrapped cars. But lightness didn't work out.
JBriskin - Edna, landlady at the Holme Bush regarded me favourably to the local cricket team - and the Railway at Wareham thought I was their most regular customer, though I didn't go there very often... But really I was the biggest round buyer, I never drank that much myself.
JBriskin - there is a well known bar trick. The barman has a little gin in a saucer, which he puts your glass upside down in to coat the lip, and then fills up with tonic.
"Labour leadership accused of defeatism over Rochester byelection Labour officials have briefed that they will not put resources into fighting seat, angering party activists who say it is winnable"
If Labour are now waiting to see if they are in the lead in the latest polls this near the next GE, then they are in real trouble.
FPT. @antifrank twitted this in an earlier thread today. Damian McBride @DPMcBride · 11m11 minutes ago There comes a time when every leader needs 'fat men' around them. Ed M will finally be learning that now.
I suspect that McBride was referring to the Tom Watson resignation as party's general election co-ordinator during the fall out of the Falkirk Unite scandal. BBC - Tom Watson quits as Labour election campaign chief
FPT. @Socrates said "Only UKIP support proper devolution to the English."
As I have posted on many occasions, UKIP are just like the the SNP in Scotland, and both happily use the most nasty and divisive politics to further their aims.
YG today still showing Labour way down in Scotland - now the party's equal weakest region with 26%, the same as the Southeast. Yeah, it's subsamples, but pretty clear that the argument that Scotland and Wales will deliver a Labour majority is outdated - possibly quite the opposite is now true.

Surely it is an allusion to Julius Caesar. From memory:
"Surround me with me that are fat. That Cassius has a lean and hungry look."
In modern parlance it means Ed needs people around him who have got his back (as opposed to putting daggers in it) and who he can trust to stick with him when times get tough. Given the size of both Damian and indeed Watson it is a very clever and witty reference.
Let me have men about me that are fat; Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o' nights: Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look; He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.
Ed does indeed have a problem with his lack of natural supporters in the party and his failure to build a team. One or two dodgy opinion polls and half the shadow cabinet seem to be on manoeuvres.

I shall choose to interact with you again if I so choose.
Or if it was pints - lager or bitter?

Off to sub-kissed Stuttgart today.

I was nearly right:
Let me have men about me that are fat;
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o' nights:
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look;
He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.
