Drinks - No.1 Poonjuice

Poonjuice

Created in the naval port of Portsmouth in the UK, Poonjuce was invented by the infamous  Poonstars. 

The Poonstars were a group formed from ranks within Portsmouth University, running various club nights and some of the wildest parties the student union will ever see.  The Poonstars needed a drink to help them forget... well, everything!  As such Poonjuice was born.

This drink comes with a serious warning not to be taken lightly.  Poonjuice has a list of side effects as long my arm, these include...

• Blurred Vision
• Impaired speech
• Dizziness
• Vomiting
• Reduced control of motor functions
• Irreparable liver damage
• Complete short term memory loss
• Unconsciousness
• Alcohol poisoning

It is my advice that nobody consume this drink, and I will not be held accountable for any loss or damage to property or health resulting from it's consumption.

If this drink still appeals, you have my respect and here is the recipe...

Ingredients:

• Vodka 50ml
• Vodka Kick 1 Bottle
  • Cherry, Apple & Tropical flavours are best
• Lots of Ice

Instructions:

Very simple, take the above ingredients and put them in a tall glass, then stir.

Voila - Poonjuice

Marky B - Category Amendment

Like I said from the beginning, my categories may change over time...

I have received some interest in my drinking games post so I have decided to expand that section.  There is now a Drinks section where I will be providing my own cocktail recipes which those that know me will no-doubt be interested in as well as recommending my favoured tipples. 

Further to that I have added fun & games which will provided info about the various drinking games I get involved in such as Drinky Drinkerton, providing rules and etiquette.

Some categories have been removed others have been changed, familiarize yourself with it so that I can upset you all when I change them all again some time soon!!

Check This: The E-cigarette AKA The E-cig

6 Months and Going Strong

Having smoked twenty a day for the better part of 10 years, in August 2008 I decided to try another way of giving up. I had tried to give up in the past using different techniques, cold turkey, nicotene patches, gum etc. without long-term success. It wasn't that I couldn't give up, but more that I didn't want to.

Queue the E-Cigarette a.k.a the E-Cig, a new invention that is a tobacco-free, tar-free alternative to cigarettes!

The e-cigarette looks, feels and tastes like an ordinary cigarette, but it is healthier, can be "smoked" in the office, is odour free, and is much cheaper than smoking real cigarettes.

I have not touched a regular cigarette in 6 months now and I feel much better for it. Considering my weekly cigarette spend was around £40 and I'm currently spending around £10 per month on my e-cig supplies I've saved a tidy £900+ since giving up.

I get all of my supplies from ecigaretteweb.co.uk so for all you smokers wanting to give up try the e-cig - Marky B Approved!

WTF: Ugg Boots, why won't this fad go away?

Ugg Boots, I hate them!  I hate them because they are ugly, they make anyone wearing them ugly, they make women with Amazing bodies look average, women with average bodies look horrible and women with horrible bodies... well let's leave that alone.

It's not just that I hate them, But I also don't understand the mentality behind wearing them.  I understand that they are comfortable, I've been told that they feel like woollen gloves on your feet, sounds nice.  But when does comfort take precedent over style, where do you draw the line. 

I'm at my most comfortable in a pair of boxer shorts and a t-shirt, would I wear that ensemble outside of the house? No, because I know it doesn't look good and so does everyone else.  So why wear Ugg's merely down to their comfort?

If "Bradgelina" and the Beckhams spread the word that Borats mankini and a gimp mask are the most comfortable items of clothing a person can own, would you all go out and buy them and start wearing them everywhere you went.  Well as much as I'd like to think "no, people aren't that dumb," all I have to do is walk into my high street and observe the droves of women wandering around in their Ugg'ly Boots.

Feel free to comment and join the great UGG debate, but your unlikely to sway me on this one.  I can honestly say I have never fancied a girl wearing Ugg Boots, and I've stopped fancying girls just for wearing them.

Easy Drinking Games: Drinky Drinkerton

An easy drinking game, just follow the rules and your golden.

Rules of Drinky Drinkerton:
 
You must sit in a circle and take turns rolling 2 dice. Below are the forfits for each roll, each drink relates to 1 finger unless otherwise specified.
 
1. Drink everything on the table
2. Everybody Drinks x 2
3. Person on left drinks
4. Person on right drinks
5. Person 2 down on left drinks
6. Person 2 down on right drinks
7. Beer Gimp
8. Nominate
9. Nominate and You
10. Everybody drinks
11. New Rule
12. See off your drink
 
One person is Drinks Master and his word is law, providing he doesn't break any of the original rules, if he does, he sees off his drink as punishment.
 
Whoever is beer gimp stays gimp until someone else rolls a 7. Beer Gimp must be referred to only as 'gimp' if their name is used a forfit is due.
 
Gimp must do whatever is asked as regards clearing glasses and pouring new drinks, no exceptions.
 
'New Rules' cannot change any existing rules, or cancel any other new rules. They also may not target one particular person, it must effect everyone at the table.
 
If any punishments are called into question, 'Court of Appeal' is used to determine the correct interpretation of the rules.
 
No one may stay in the room where the game is being played and not play. If you're there you're playing. If you refuse to do any punishments you must leave immediately.
 
If Huw Benjamin Salter Chalker is playing Drinky Drinkerton, he is the Drinks Master, with no exceptions. That is his right as game creator.
 
The game is designed to be quickfire and if it lasts more than 2 hours, most participants will likely die from alcohol poisoning.
 
Those hardcore enough to try, can play Drinky Drinkerton Pro, which doubles all forfits (i.e. 'All drink x 2' becomes 'All drink x 4) and all standard drinks are 2 fingers.

A New Beginning

So I've decided to begin again, after numerous attempts at blogs and websites and continued inability to get it exactly how I want it, I thought I'd try my hand at a TypePad blog.

This blog will give voice to the many things swirling around in my head, which as those that know me will agree, tend to be random and in great supply.

To try and help people follow what's going on, I have devised some ingenious categories for my posts.  Now no doubt this list will get expanded at some point, but to start with, my list is as follows...

• Personal - Stuff that's personal.
  
• Lightbulb - Oh No, I've had an idea.
  
• WTF - Random stuff that I want to tell you about it.
• Check This - I have come across something that I think you'll want to hear about.
• Special Mention - I have singled someone or something out for a special mention.

I look forward to posting here and I hope you enjoy reading, let's see where this goes.
