Control wants Ricki to have two drink-free nights, as per MPs' recommendations. I suggested the start of the flat season & cup final day.

Ola Dubh is teckle bevvy.

And you would know Jocky, you would know. This account started off as a parody of Dundee fitba legend, with jetpacks and cocaine references aplenty. But now I'm beginning to have my doubts.

Just ordered a beer @BrewDogGlasgow. The bar staff have informed me it'll be at least three weeks.
Will it be afternoon or evening? Just that I'm due to get served at the Counting House that day & I don't want to miss out.

Question of the Day: "Is that Murrayfield behind the pub?" "No, that would be Edinburgh Castle, sir."
All delivered in that superior tone only Edinburgh barstaff with experience of tourists going back generations can muster

Now this is exactly to sort of get-up-and-go attitude that will see us grow the economy out of these troubled economic times

@ThePoke A parasite walks into a bar. Barman says 'We don't serve parasites in here' Parasite says, 'well, you're not a very good host'

I want to go on one of those benders where you grow a full beard before you even notice.
Yep, that's how I get through those difficult first few weeks of growing my winter beard

"Who's the manager here", "Well it's the guy in the penguin tshirt holding a stoat". Still funny.

Quitting smoking was the best decision ever. I can finally appreciate the taste of my breakfast vodka.

Loch Fyne is a mighty fine brewery. Avalanche, Hurricane Jack... waiting for them to produce a beer called Typhoon Stout.

Aye, that would be just Sublime

LEARN a lesson from toast. Before going out drinking, why not butter the back of your head so that you don't fall on your face? @ChribHibble
Chrib nearly made the top spot but January has seen some rich pickings for us Twagiarists...

According to the kids chatting behind me @BrewDogGlasgow IPA stands for Increased Percentage Ale. #thatsoundfromFamilyFortunes

In my day we used to laugh at people asking for a pint of "eighty slash dash", but this is funny too.
