I think the parrot was a crazy demented bird it was my sisters African Gray. He was very affectionate towards my sister,they adopt a life long bond to females but they dont like anyone else. The same story with alot of parrots. Its dead now the book case fell on him.

My brother and his wife adopted a cockatiel from an elderly lady who had to go into nursing home (alzhiemers) and Gordie has bonded with my brother.

So cute..... Scott will say, "Gordie... time to brush our teeth" and this bird flutters down to Scott's shoulder. Gordie then marches up and down the vanity counter in front of the mirror while my brother brushes his teeth.

Growler
Parrots both sing and drink.Indeed My grandads minor bird used to sing
Evea Peron songs in B.flat. Not bad for Aminor bird.
But I will say I throughly enjoyed Rochester last time and will be headed there again this time. I got two Rats called Bob and Dylan they drink but dont sing. I ,ll bring them along.

Tam - just to let you know that although I will be at the Wassail on 20 December, I will not be wearing my new dress as promised because it is still a little tight across the hips. See you there x

Rachel - I thought I released you from that agreement either by PM or email or something.

Dress is not important.... you being there is. Hope I am well enough to participate. Been a long rough slog with this virus or whatever.

The modern day Apple Wassail is often used as an excuse to drink vast quantities of cider and party all night.

This excuse is applicable to Christmas wassailing, as well.

Will there be any special ciders laid on?

This question is for Growler or Barden of England

What time do the festivities start on Saturday?

This question is for Essex Girl, Naughtyforty, Melodeonboy or anyone who wants to chance it.

How does one develop a taste for beer? No I am not taking the piss. I really want to know.

Well Its like a good Cheese it matures with age.

I went to me doctor and said
"Hey doc got anything for me liver.
He said yeah" How about half a pound of Bacon and some Onions

Tricky one Tam. My dad is a real ale drinker so I had my first taste at quite a young age (not sure exactly when!). Also, I don't have a particularly sweet tooth which helps. This isn't very helpful I know but I can only suggest keep trying. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday.

Hope you all have a great time, and down a couple of pints for me. Little point in us coming, as Trev can't drive that far, mustn't drink, and can't play/sing without running out of breath. We did manage half an evening at Fox and Hounds which was great.

Awww... No TDL. You both will be sorely missed.

I probably won't be singing much either. Can't shift the chest cough and sore throat thing.

Hope you both have lovely Christmas and New Year.

Tam, I was brought up on draft bitter, my father loathed the 'fizzy stuff' I find that the lower alcohol ones are great as session beers when you are in an all day singaround. I tried lager for a couple of years but found that I had to drink stonger and stronger brews to get any flavour. See you on Saturday!!

Some very fine ales!!!! My turn to drive on Saturday, so I will have to be VERY strict with myself!!!

Whether I sing or don't, it doesn't matter as I am just looking forward to an "end of season bash" with my mad folk mates!!!!
