I only drink wine with women and scotch with blokes...

GR turning down a challenge? Surely not. What a feeble excuse.

I'm serious, I could never sit with blokes drinking wine... it's so sissy!

Thats weird. Blokes sit with me and I drink water

Right... so what else do blokes and you do?

We discuss the effects of hard alcohol on peoples brain and the detrimental effects on their judgment.

GR, you've been spotted!

Niki that picture with that woman was brilliant!

You speak from experience?

How about GR and Miltiades wrestling in pink custard? Or a nice Cabernet just for Miltiades?

Experience? Yeh, I wish!

You know...I considered the possibility of drunken wrestling in banoffee pie for a second, but I prefer your idea for pink custard. And a little cab before the fray is always advisable...

Hope you're well!

I will be in Cyprus this coming Friday for a long weekend , I will wrestle any one for a good bottle of claret , burgundy , rioja , beaujolais , chardonnay or any other wine for that matter , retsina comes to mind a great favourite of mine ! How about it GR , fancy a match or are you more the Pink custard type !!!

Unfortunately, I won't be in CY for a while. Anyone that knows me knows of my love for scotch. A bottle of MacCallan would certainly be worth fighting over...

Cheers...

Lena are you going to join in with our custard pie fight? GR wants to wrestle in pink custard but with a beer or he'd look like a sissy!

I enquired "is it fairer to APPEAR nasty by telling the truth" . . .

Being "nasty" is not a prerequisite to being truthful. It may be how it is perceived by the receiver only.
Collateral damage

Opinions can be useful whether true or not . . . . but the most interesting "truths" are the fundamental truths that cannot be proven wrong . . . to date!

Sometimes it is better to turn a blind eye if you are in danger of upsetting someone. It's called tact!

You have not experienced wine its like not experiencing SEX !!
The most enjoyable alcoholic drink and most celebrated activity , as for scotch , well I would not refuse it but I tend to drink it like wine and it does make me rather drunk very quickly.
Seriously though the only people I heard describing wine in this fashion are Australians and British Yobbos !!

Wine facts !!!!
It has been said that wine is mankind's most ancient medicine.
Cheers to that indeed!
There are a few passions in life that are both enjoyable and beneficial to health at the same time. It is perhaps why wine drinking is becoming such a fad in even the non-traditional Asia region.

While there were initial claims that the benefits of wine were folklore created by wine makers to propogate wine drinking, increasing research by many reputable research centers have concluded that it is indeed no folklore. In fact, they discovered many other benefits of wine as well! Here are some of them:

Heart Disease
Wine is a vasodilator that helps reduce the risk of cardiac diseases including angina and stroke. It helps in two ways. Red wines have HDL (a good cholesterol) that drives the bad cholesterol from the arteries. Red wine also contains an antifungal compound called Resveratrol that can lower serum cholesterol.

Digestion
Wine stimulates flow of gastric juices to enhance the digestive processes. It has also shown that wines kill cholera bacteria and can combat typhoid.

Vitamins and Minerals
Wine contains utilizable minerals of potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, Vitamin B and P.

Viruses
Red wines have polyphenols that are effective against some viruses.

Aging
Elderly people who drink moderate amounts are less prone to disability due to mental illness. Some attribute it to the mineral boron which helps older women to maintain their oestrogen which in turn enables them to absorb calcium.

Cancer
Red wine contains a strong anti-cancer agent known as quercetin which becomes active in the body when the grape juice ferments or the body digests food. Wine also contains gallic acid, an acknowledged anti-carcinogenic.

Stress
Wine is a mild tranquilizer that can help reduce stress, which in turn can help prevent certain forms of cancer.

Kidney
Wine can enhance the alkaline reserves, effectively combating kidney acidosis.

Migraine
Red wine inhibits an enzyme called PST-P which detoxifies all sorts of bacteria in the stomach. The absence of PST-P is linked to migraine.

And here are some famous quotes on wine :


"Nectar of the Gods"
"Wine is the most civilized thing in the world."
Ernest Hemingway


"A bottle of wine begs to be shared; I have never met a miserly wine lover." >>> See what I mean about SEX !!

Clifton Fadiman


Galileo said
“Wine is light held together by water”.

Niki . . . I am so glad you never turn a blind eye or show tact in winding-up participants
