I tried that green and yellow label rum once.
Knocked me out completely I was on the floor.
The woman was a bit concerned at the time.
Never repeated.
Something and nephew I think it was called.
Strong shit.

Strong shit. Bhundi Rum from Australia? It fucked up a lot of Aborigine people, my ex sister in law used to bring me bottle back at my request, the first one was for a laugh but I loved it from the safety of a bottle every few years.

I'm no good at copying multi posts to reply to ...but thanks everyone whose responded... My family always think I'm too open with what I say..possibly due to the many counsellors who 'helped' recovery. We all have to deal with this in our own way but its good to know that there are folk on here that understand some of the concerns. xx Patty If you need a chat, let me know. Xx thank you x

Wray and Nephew according to a quick search. 63% abv. Always been a bit of a lightweight I found a bottle of 63% whisky in Tesco once. As a regular thing it wouldn't be good. I got my spelling wrong too, it's Bundy, Bundaberg. originally it was 100% proof, when I had it it was 75% but the strongest they now make is 50%. Taken over by a UK company...

Interesting about the gunpowder.
As I understand it storing blasting agents with the beer is a problem as well. Something more people should be aware of.

Back to the original post ..
Our bar is shut. The government grants and other support will mean we'll survive for 3 months, longer than that will be a bit testing but we'll do it - we have 6 staff to think of. (#notwetherspoons). Our plans to get across to the caravan in France are on hold for the time being, keep on rebooking the crossings for later in the year. First world problem, no sympathy expected. After some fairly harsh introspection, we've concluded that we're actually pretty antisocial: lots of acquaintances through the business but we're far from being part of the dinner party crowd. I need to be kept occupied but with startlingly poor timing have just given up full time work. Suspect all the jobs I've been putting off at home and in the bar will get done, if I can get the bits. I once spent 6 weeks living in a tin shed in Baghdad whilst working as a contractor - this will be like that but without the occasional mortar dropping in. Don't doubt I'll get terminally bored on occasions and a bit more pissed than I should on others, but will muddle through.
I have one test that I regularly apply to lifes 'problems' ... would someone who lives in Syria think this is an important issue? For all it's bad, the answer is probably not.
