We have what's called "sobremesa" here. It means (over table) and is what you do after a meal -- or any time you can -- hang out over a table and drink and visit. You can do THAT any time of day. The Prof needs to tone it down a bit, don't you think? A smile like that is a bit too much.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-7673348419432678032017-04-19T08:08:37.143+00:002017-04-19T08:08:37.143+00:00Lovely story but that hilarious incident actually ...Lovely story but that hilarious incident actually happened at 11pm - and I'm not sure I was ever what you'd call fey.

My nephew always seems to do that to me. He gets rat-arsed and talks incessantly at me, getting progressively louder and uninhibited.<br />At a family gathering a couple of years ago, he arrived drunk and over the next couple of hours saw off a litre bottle of vodka mixed with a two litre bottle of Red Bull.<br />He was loud, offensive, and even when I did manage to get away he found me again and carried on.<br />Not a good example to set, especially when grandparents and young kids are around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-37594604345416964672017-04-19T00:59:18.341+00:002017-04-19T00:59:18.341+00:00You and the Prof are beginning to look alike.

This is the Uncle who was married to my Aunt, my moms sister so he is not a blood relative ...I say this because .. he is half Alaskan Indian and they get drunk if they walk past a bottle of liquor so he probably only had a glass of something .. the police said he was so limp, that it saved him from breaking all of his bones on that roll down the mountain.<br />So here you have the good and the bad sides of consuming large quantities of alchohol :)Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-22023813745606323282017-04-18T21:40:23.955+00:002017-04-18T21:40:23.955+00:00Yes, it's true.
