    Yes. You've already lost several in mixing coffee with brandy. ;)

    I disagree - the coffee keeps you awake while you get roaring drunk. What could possibly be more manly than that?

      Yesterday I made up a 2 Litre batch of coffee to use for a refreshing drink during the current heat-wave. This evening after dinner, I made myself a large one and was sitting on the couch, sipping away, when I thought to myself, self, I thought, what this needs is a slug of Rum. Unfortunately I didn't have any, in fact I didn't have any liquor at all. I generally don't keep alcoholic drinks at home except for Christmas-time. Christmas!! Ah yes, in the back of the kitchen cupboard the remnants of a 1 pint bottle of Brandy I had used to make my Christmas cake last year. 1 slug later and all is well. Magic. :-D

      Coffee with anything other than hot water is just plain wrong, like scotch with anything or blondes with brains - it just doesn't work!

        We were given sugar sandwiches too. But if you think that's bad, my sister used to like vinegar sarnies! X| That was too much, even for a dustbin guts like me.

          I'm with __Maxx__ on this one. The hot version however does have some problems. It is known on restaurant menus and the like as <shhhh>FRENCH</shhhh> Coffee.

              Umm... Yeah, that's a point. I was looking at it more from the angle of "adulterating" the goddarn thing with coffee. :)

                That is precisely why there are insurance companies. Keep your 'valuables' at home, but get them insured just in case... :)

                    Weeell, it's like this. To start with I had forgotten that I had the Brandy, so I was resigned to plain old cawfee. What's even worse is there is only enough of the good stuff left for one more. :((

                        Maybe McDonald's will offer that soon; their current offering leaves much to be desired.

                          Sounds nice, but it would mean buying the Mint Liqueur and I'm not sure that I could stand the loss of man points involved in that transaction. :laugh:

                                  A lady doesn't tell her age. Suffice to say I look about 20 years younger that I actually am. And since I don't look anything under 40.....
