thatman Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Just now, twigs said: spill the marrows then, what where how Its easy, just cut 2" of the end, scoop out the middle seedy part, ram full of brown sugar, tape the cut end back on and hang in a net in the greenhouse, after a couple of weeks, place a jar underneath and collect the drips. some people say to puncture the bottom, but I find its stronger if you let it seep through the skin. Also heard that some people put a bit of yeast in, but I've never found the need to. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a bit tired of this 'home entertainment', fecking so-called celebs sitting on skype in front of their bookcases...notice how nearly all have got one? Haka nurses and Sainsbury's 'colleagues' (they're fecking "staff" btw) marching off to Amarillo bog rolls in hand, is getting tedious now... Love the drummer weatherman with the rock hard Tintin quiff though... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KayDog Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Kinda had that just now.... Out with the dogs and a toddler came over to pet them and I had to move back to protect the little girl. Her dad was glad but we exchanged sad looks when his daughter looked puzzled when I moved away. Then a squirrel ran in between her and the dogs and it was all forgotten in the mayhem! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoseyRipple Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 To be honest I'm a mixed bottle atm, I've only drank rum or cider or vodka/what ever is in the drinks cupboard since the lock down, a very good mate dropped off a 20L tub filled with purple moby dick because I helped him out a bit ago when he really needed it. So yea I'm blazed from the cookies I've made and the litre of rum I've had to wash it down. I just hope all this blows over soon, hope everyone stays safe, has plentiful grows 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him to drop some off and it be reet because friends help each other out when in need, I was expecting enough for a few smokes and he rolled up to my house and placed a white 20L tub filled with the stuff on my front door, he knocked and waited at the bottom of the drive for me to open my door only for me to say wtf is that? haha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
