I need a ‘pick-me-up’.  I used to grab a glass of brandy or a port but I can’t cope with those any more.  Any suggestions anyone?

    Would you believe you can get organic wine and organic wine drops? Seriously. I haven’t tried them but I know someone with PMR who has. With the drops you pop them in a normal wine and takes out the bit that affects the liver or something, I’m told if you can’t get them at the local you can order them online.

      Looked that up.  Apparently sulphites are removed easily by aerating the wine, like swirling it around in your glass, or decanting it.

      Sounds better than adding something to neutralize sulphites, doesn't it?

      Yes there is the wine drop tree, also the spaghetti tree, they had the spaghetti harvest on TV. It was a bad year.

      Exactly - while you can still trip them up on let-over snow patches and they are confused and try to run the wrong way along the slope...

      The only trouble with haggis is that they have two legs shorter than the other two, to make it easier for them to run round hills.

      That's how you catch them - confuse them so they try to run the wrong way round the hill and then they fall down...
