Am I a meanie?

[greensurfingbear]

Missus asked me to make her a hot toddy as she has a sore throat and sniffles coming on. Only whiskey in the house is a bottle £60 single malt and another £40 bottle so I declined.....

Brownie points lost me thinks

No rum or brandy in then? By the time you've added the honey and lemon I doubt she'd spot the difference.

 

[greensurfingbear]

What I said. Unfortunately nothing else in. Seems a shame to use really good whiskey to mix with hot water honey and lemon!

How many bottles of good whiskey does a divorce cost?

Meanie! It's there to be drunk.

Meanie! It's there to be drunk.

while that is indeed true sir, its not to be mixed with hot water lemon and honey!!!! oh the horror!!!!!!!!! :aargh4:

 

[boatman]

It is whiskey (Irish?) not holy water.

 

[greensurfingbear]

I know its just hard to comprehend using it for hot toddies LOL

Anyway I did relent and start to make it and she said tea was OK. sigh of relief..... gonna have to get me a cheapo bottle in for toddy making.

 

[woodpoet]

How much do you need for a hot toddy.

Did you make the tea or make the Toddy? You've just been tested and it will be remembered for a long time!

 

[rik_uk3]

Yep, a meanie. I bet if you had man flu you'd not care how much it cost to knock up a hot toddy?

 

[John Fenna]

Not a meanie - just plain sensible!
At that price you should not add anything to the whisky - not even ice or water!
If god had wanted whisky to be a weak and watery brew he would not have made it of alcohol!
Buy some coloured rubbing alcohol such as Bells if you want to make toddies!
The woman is really ill if she expected you to use GOOD whisky in a toddy - get her to hospital fast, this kind of delirium only comes with severe illness!

I know what you mean John but I just could not say no to my Welsh Love Goddess although I was a tad miffed when I found out she and her sister had polished off a bottle of Cles De Ducs XO with Tesco Lemonade.

That would be "just cause" or "justifiable homicide" around here ... at the very least it would be a fine of unlimited brownie points, grovelling apologies and replacing the said bottle of luxury booze with three more ... and that is only the punishment for shopping at Tesco.
As to ruining the booze de lux - it cannot be punished on this earth but would be punished in the hereafter!

I know what you mean i wouldnt be too impressed if swmbo started slurping my Bells without asking, never mind anything else.

 

[Toddy]

Meanie. One dram's worth and you grudged it :shocked:

Hope Man 'flu strikes you and she hides the damned stuff from you

Toddy

You have to be ill to drink Bells!

 

[Bushwhacker]

You're supposed to make ice cubes out of birch sap, with a little bit of mint leaf in them. Ray says this is straight up legit.

 

[Corfe]

You did the right thing sir! Certain things are beyond the pale of manhood and marriage.
