OK temporary accomodation for us ex-pats of Spacie's coffee house that is sadly now boarded up and in memory of Goldie's old pad the tearooms.

No fancy stuff, as this is temporary until we find a nice new place but it's warm down here with the fire and aga and I've organised a daily guinness, lager and wine delivery. There is a small kitchen in the corner and a few comfy cosy armchairs.

So feel free to take refuge when you need a break - self-service generally I'm afraid but when I can I'll rustle up a meal :>)

There's a Gloucestershire Echo, but I only get Kent papers since I moved.

Echo? No that's me practising my swing. It works for the ladies.......

UUUUUURRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

OUT!

Who said that?

It was in, THE BALL WAS IN.

YOU CAN NOT BE SERIOUS!

Socrates - there are 13 echos in the south of England - including the Gloucestershire Echo!

I'd be bored by the 5th echo, with 13 I'd probably be asleep.

UUUUUURRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It's easy for you to say that Keaydian!

Net.

UUUUUURRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Net.

Let.

UUUUUURRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

oops sorry, bit dark now for tennis.

A small item for the Beer Basement.

ONE SMALL GLASS OF WINE!

People over 65 should limit themselves to 1.5 units of alcohol a day, a report suggests.

Recommended safe limits for drinking alcohol by older people should be drastically cut, according to a report.

The Royal College of Psychiatrists says people over 65 should drink a maximum of only 1.5 units of alcohol a day.

That is the equivalent of just over about half a pint of beer or a small glass of wine.

It warns current advice - 14 units of alcohol for women and 21 for men each week - is based on work with young adults.

From now on Bunny's Beer Basement will be serving only 1.5 units of alcohol per customer per day.























New measurement.


1 Unit = 20 pints of Guinness.

:o)

I have it on reasonable authority (a mature medic of my auld acquaintance) that the current limits of 21 units/week for men, 14 units/week for women ("and a small sherry for the lady") were guesswork with very little scientific input. That's right, the limits were made up.

Most people lie to their medics about their alcohol consumption ("I can't remember, do you divide by 2 or 3"), so the source data is rubbish.

Individual metabolism, general health, diet, all play their part. I've had some fascinating conversations with different medics on the subject - they are consistent in their inconsistency.

"they are consistent in their inconsistency" (hic), thash a bit tricky to shay after I've exsheeded my 1.5 unitsh limit! ;O)


I agree MM, individual metabolism has a huge part to play; same with food intake. Pass the choccie biscuits please!

I'm not allowed alcohol so someone else can have my units. I make up for that with non-alcoholic sherry trifle.

Morning all, Kim pissed again, tut tut tut.

Has anyone seen my balls?
