I should probably get my camping gear out of my spider infested shed. I put it in there to air after last year.

I recommend Stanley hip flasks for your campfire rum swigging needs.

Its almost like having quality in the palm of your hand. The Stanley is lightweight (Stanely), sturdy (Stanley), has a wide opening (Stanley) with a revolving lid... Get a Stanely.

I can confirm from last year, the Rum to mouth ratio is delivered with brutal efficiency.

Hah! I remember your brutal efficiency very well, in the form of thinking someone else drank your whole bottle, finishing it off and falling flat on your back. Out cold :mrgreen:

I can confirm I am bringing an old pewter flask chock full of Talisker. We shall drink the last vestiges of my middle class upbringing.

I shall also be Talisker-endowed. Let's compare!

I suggest vballs wear protective headgear, like an amateur boxer, in preparation of the inevitable stumble. That clifftop's hard y'know.

We were just discussing your capacity for Captain Morgan's last night in the pub Vballs.

A hero, in human form;-)

That was my personal highlight, seeing vballs fall back à la Delboy in that scene in Only Fools.. quality moment haha.

Still well jelly I can't come, hope it all goes smoothly, especially with the international contingent.

We aren't perfect, miles from it. But we're a damn sight better the cesspit that is Heathrow's arrivals facility. ;-)

my vote for worst airport of all time is JFK

A good thing for sure, although there is also talk of thunder storms, in which case those caves could finally get used. Imagine that. Geogaddi in a cave, campfire and roaring thunderstorm outside..

Items vballs lost, in order of distance found from the edge of the clifface:

* His Galaxy S5 (0.00000001 nanometers)
* Wallet (3 cms)
* Money (all of it) (2 feet)
* Another empty bottle of Captain Morgan's Rum (n/a never left his hand all night, although his look of bewilderment when he asked us who'd drunk it and we all replied 'You did' was priceless)
* Credit cards (various ranging from 12 cm to 200 yards)
* Shoes (never found again)
* Ability to talk (unclear - might have been 'normal' accent?!?)
* Ability to stand up (fall down) stand up (fall down) stand up (fall down)... (3 feet, 6 feet and 12 feet respectively)

LOL

I honestly thought he was having a laugh at first when he came out with the "Who drank all my-" line. Priceless moment.

Canadian version:

Sober
Tipsy or Buzzed
Inebriated or Intoxicated
Drunk
Trashed or Crunk (more cetnral) / Right Drunk (more east coast)
Wasted (more central) / Fuckin Drunk (more east coast)
Plastered or Tanked or Crazy Drunk (more central) / Smashed (more east coast)
Hammered
Hamshowed (more central) / Fuckin Hammered (more east coast)

i never heard of mashed or munted. i thought the top of your list would be shitfaced. and where's sloshed?

It is a matter of contention. I consider munted to be the height of drunkenness and a satisfying albeit sleepy, embarrassing, nauseous and possibly dangerous ending to a night out. Others would say shitfaced deserves that position.

I prefer mashed to smashed as it is more evocative to me. What's worse, having been smashed like a delicate vase, or mashed like a daft potato?

I don't know anyone who says sloshed, perhaps it just isn't used in London much amongst my generation.

Other parts of the country have different terms. For instance, various Scots say 'blootered' or 'blootert', 'buckied' (as in Buckie High. comes from a disgusting syrupy tonic wine called Buckfast), 'buckled' (meaning one's legs are not functioning properly), 'pished', 'mortal' (pronounced mortul. Quite profoundly drunk, any traits worthy of a higher being having long departed.), and 'puggled'.
