I've become a Pimms-aholic!
Stood in Tescos tuther day wondering what to try different.
Bunged a Pimms and Lemonade in the Trolley.
Wonder how many other peeps have been hic! influenced by this group.
I mentioned to Mrs D, "Martyn and Tim rave on about it so it can't be bad" "Thats what people drink on expeditions isn't it?" "Have you been reading the group?"

Whistle... Hobbs turned us on to it - then mi best mate got wed and they had it at the Reception, but basically, blame Hobbs...
Try it wiv stuph like Strawberry, (I think) Cucumber and - erm, dunno, but it's too sloshable (hic) and blame Hobbs (hic)...
BTW, mine's a pint... (hic)
Put fruit in it. It's then officially health food - it counts towards your 5 portions of fruit.
Alternatively, 40/60 with lemonade gets the job done a bit quicker...
I have never raved...

Richard Brookman wrote in anticipation of an inebriated Christmas:
FWIW this is the only thing that makes Christmas bearable for 'himself' plus taking the dog for an early morning walk on the beach!
Diane Brookman uttered summat worrerz funny about:
Sounds like a cool Christmas , walk along the Beach would be nice failing any snow.
Will explore this concoction and report back.

It's become a tradition with us - turkey in the oven by about 7am, open pressies, down to Newgale for a good blow along the beach with Zulu and any other dogs/kids that happen to be around. When the SAR used to be at Brawdy, there was always a fly-by from the SAR guys, with Santa in the winchman's position waving to the crowds (well, 20-30 people on a 2-mile stretch of sand). Littl'uns thought it was fab. Snow in Pembs is like rocking horse poo, so Newgale is usually the destination. If it does happen to snow, all bets are off. If I can get the S2's swivels and brake pipes sorted by then, I'll be in heaven.
It's well and worthily recommended, Lee - guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make the worst bits of Xmas (children, relatives, food, TV, carols, decorations etc) bearable.
I'd let you have some of mine, but I've lost it all.
:-)
Oh dear. This has just reminded me..
I'd often seem Tim rave about Pimm's on here, and used this recommendation to go and find some at my mates' wedding a month or two back when i heard it was about.
Unfortunately i seem to have lost the memory of what it actually tasted like!
Tread very carefully - it was Pimms (real Pimms in them thar days, before they halved the alcohol content and kept the price) that got me married to the ex - 15 years to sober-up!
