At least she’s got the vodka martini goggles on. Respec.
And that kids, is how I met your mother.
Better than doing lines through a hollowed out bookies pen.
I think I’ve just fallen in love
Cheltenham brings out all the classy birds
Or proud to be Irish. It’s an each way bet at Cheltenham.

I can’t fix her… 🤷♂️
I’ve never seen a group of people look more like tories.
She’s pretty
My grandfather, who was otherwise a very straight, proper man, sat and entered some documents on his Windows 98 computer (in about 2005-07, so an old setup at the time) while I was pondering all of his knick knacks on the shelves.
I then reached his binocular shelf, which had about 4 or 5 pairs, and wondered why he had so many, since I didn’t know he was a bird watcher. (Turns out he was at one point, but had stopped, which was why he had so many.)
So I start looking through them, being careful about not breaking them, until I reach the third pair, at which point I don’t understand why the damn binoculars don’t work. Like, aren’t they supposed to just… work like the rest of them?
It is at this point the old man asks for them, and says: “Don’t tell your father I showed you this”, after which he unscrews one of the eyepieces and tells me to smell the contents, it being whisky.
Turns out he had once been given these by a friend who knew he had once been a bird watcher, so that he would have a funny gag gift to put next to the other binoculars, and as proper friends do, it had been filled with my grandfathers fav whisky.
When my grandmother passed, and we had to divide the estate between the family, I told the rest of the family the story, and asked if I could have them as a reminder of a core memory of my old grandfather. Everyone of course agreed, so they’re now living on placed on *my* knick knack shelf, filled about half with 30-year-old plastic infused Scottish whisky.
Is booze not allowed at these events?
All fun and games until she gets so drunk she tries to look through them and gets an eye full of crème de menthe.
