Porn Star Martinis in the pub.

Yes. You missed post #1.

We'll have to watch and see if he visits Shane.

He was in his 90s and very ill. What more do you need?

Al Fayed's death shouldn't have come as a surprise. He was 94 and known to have been seriously ill for some time.

Sure, but like I said, he's very prolific, one might even say ubiquitous! Anyone who watches British telly will have seen him in loads of things.

It was missing from the repeat runs on ITV3 for a long time. Maybe there was some sort of rights issue with it.

I have to disagree, his prolific acting career easily eclipses his novelty records. He's versatile but particularly effective in villainous roles. Stand-outs for me include an utter snake of a doctor in Bodies, and the escaped psychopathic murderer in the rarely shown Inspector Morse episode, The Day of the Devil.

Your beers are most welcome, Paddy. The thread is about what it says in the title. No exclusions. Meanwhile today I happened upon a reasonably priced bottle of crème de mure (blackberry liqueur). I've always preferred this to cassis in a kir, so I snapped it up. Have just enjoyed a delicious Bramble Gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup, crème de mure and loads of ice. Beautiful. This one but it was only £13.99 in a local independent off-licence. Bargain!

It isn't a duplicate thread. Any kind of drink may be mentioned.

Shane

Al Fayed is my 11th hit.

Mohamed Al Fayed presented with the Freedom of the Highlands by the Highlands of Scotland Tourist Board.

Probably because it's not that clear that it's for DL suggestions, so people continue to use it for general suggestions. As there are other deadpools opening during the year it can be useful. Locking it would only mean a separate thread would get started.

Quoting it was fucking insane too.

Last night I indulged in a very naughty International Incident Baileys, vodka, amaretto, Kahlua, Frangelico A little heavy on the Baileys; another time I would halve that to match the others.
