    Baileys

    Love it - shame I only have a miniature bottle

    Lord I'm bored

    I find that it is best not to start raiding the mini-bar when staying away for a gig because that can cause a hefty dent in the profit from said gig.

      You have never hear of the eleventh commandment

      'Toucheth not the mini bar'

      Took the kids away last year and they looked at the bottles, purely out of curiosity. I had a coronary, mini stroke and my eyeballs popped out when I saw the bill.

      They charge you for just looking at the bottles.

        You should look at the small print - they take the cost off the bill if you turn up at reception with the bottles (as long as you haven't drunk them obv.)....

          Oh I did. I got my money back.

          They take the money once the bottle is lifted from its place. I suppose this is to stop people drinking it then replacing it with water or something.

            The Tesco Finest cream liqueur is a lot nicer than baileys - has a good quality Whisky with fresh cream, nothing else.

            Much easier to slip down...........

            Must be very calorific though with all that cream plus the alcohol!

              I have a theory that the glass of a Baileys bottle is really thick, as there never seems to be much in full size bottle.

              Or perhaps we should just get smaller glasses.
              Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

                Shocking - who would ever do such a thing ?!



                Ok - it was me

                  In the case of Baileys, that 'something' might be less appetizing than water.

                    I was nearly swayed by a temptress ahead of me in the supermarket queue the other day. My purchases a few veg and wotnot; her purchases some fine cheeses and a bottle of Baileys.
