Visible from our back windows and damned near three minutes to reach if
walking the long way round, there's...

Award winning. Again. The local pub which mostly serves Rebellion won
pub of the year last year too. Sigh, it's just so crushingly
predictable when you live in an area of drinking perfection....

Outside of that? Well, Black Russian is always a good start. Depending
on time of year there's also cognac, port or Pimms.


Cheers,
Ian

Woodpecker cider and lots of ice made from Volvic. Tiger beer with
Chinese food.

An excellent choice sir. I was out in Singapore a few years ago
(hmm...actually around seven or eight years ago, come to think of it)
and sitting by the side of either quay being served jugs of Tiger
whilst chatting with friends was a very pleasant experience. I've been
a Tiger fan ever since when dining out.


Cheers,
Ian

Douwe Egberts coffee ;)

When I do occasionally have alcohol it tends to be JD or Southern
Comfort.

Before Jim asks, thats a Speyside next to the cheapo Spirit of
Loisisiana, then next shelf down, Glenfidich 12ur, Port Wood, and Solera
with the Aberlour 10yr nestled in amongst them.
