I also have a delightful cheese tray at the ready for New Year's Eve in addition to the other finger foods for this, the one holiday occasion where I don't involuntarily reenact the Christopher Jones character's meltdown in Ryan's Daughter.    Posted:   Dec 30, 2019 - 4:49 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Thor, you have to have some kind of New Year's blowout planned!    Posted:   Dec 30, 2019 - 5:48 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Well, kinda. My dad (age 69) has just been hospitalized and diagnosed with diabetes, so that's a bit of a downer. But I'll do my best to celebrate tomorrow. Celebrating my niece's birthday first, who's fortunate/unfortunate to share her birthday with New Year's Eve, and then in the evening I'm going to a party downtown with lots of young folks in their 20s and early 30s. I've stockpiled the fridge with beverages today -- red & white, and various specialty beers. And some regular Tuborgs (which beat Carlsberg any day of the week! ).    Posted:   Dec 30, 2019 - 5:59 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Well, kinda.

Sorry to hear that. 2019 hasn't been the best of years for the Phelps Brood, either. It's all starting to feel like borrowed time. But hey, this is the "Cheers!" thread, so let us celebrate what we have! Tuborg isn't available where I live, and even Carlsberg is only sold at the huge liquor warehouse chain, so I make do with what I can get. I'm a big fan of Krombacher Pilsner, which *is* available here, both in cans and on draught at my local German restaurant. As mentioned previously, I have a bottle of Cava at the ready for tomorrow, as well as a large bottle of Chianti. The wife and I usually watch the Thin Man films on New Year's Eve. We're not social like you young whippersnappers.    Posted:   Dec 30, 2019 - 8:37 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) As mentioned previously, I have a bottle of Cava at the ready for tomorrow, as well as a large bottle of Chianti.

But my impression was that people....uhm, your age (whatever that is) often got together with other pairs to enjoy the festivities?    Posted:   Dec 30, 2019 - 8:48 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) I'll take that. 42 and a whippersnapper, that's a compliment! But my impression was that people....uhm, your age (whatever that is) often got together with other pairs to enjoy the festivities? I'm 48, but when tallying up the number of friends who've died (one as recently as 5 years ago, another over 17 years ago), and friends and relatives whose marriages have broken up, there leaves precious few others with whom to celebrate anything.    Posted:   Jan 20, 2020 - 6:42 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Did we party too hearty in 2019? Is that why there hasn't been any reports in this thread yet this year? Will have my first Carlsberg of the year(!) later today. It's MLK day, a national holiday, so no work for me. I will spend the gloomy- weather day watching "The Best of Harriet Andersson" Bergman films while making my "world famous" chili for dinner tonight. You are all invited.    Posted:   Jan 20, 2020 - 7:24 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Did we party too hearty in 2019? Is that why there hasn't been any reports in this thread yet this year? Doubtful. Just last week, I was at a film festival in the north of Norway (Tromsø), and on Wednesday we partied untill 7.30 in the morning, the last 5 hours in a hotel room. I don't normally do drinks on a Monday, but I'll be back on Friday!    Posted:   Jan 24, 2020 - 7:53 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) The weekend beckons! What'll ye be drinkin', boys and girls? This weekend is my mother-in-law's birthday, and my wife wants us to treat her to dinner at our local German restaurant. There, I will endure the Nuremberg Trials-like atmosphere and drown my miseries in draught Krombacher pilsners while attempting to enjoy a delightful dinner. Funny how I loathed having to eat German food so often as a child, yet in adulthood I find myself craving the damned stuff.    Posted:   Jan 24, 2020 - 8:02 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Oh come on! If it's a Bierstube-type establishment, it should be glorious! (you don't get much in terms of good specialty beers at these places, but the atmosphere is great!). As alluded to above, I'm gearing up now to a party in 2 hours. It's an annual gathering of fellow media students from way back in the early 2000s (the very place and time this thread was started, in fact). We're converging in a restaurant nearby, known for being the 'water hole' of private dick Harry Hole from Jo Nesbø's series of books. So far, I've had a Punk IPA and a Leffe. I have a few more specialty beers to down, and I think I'm gonna save my bottle of red wine -- a new acquaintance of mine that I absolutely love. I don't generally drink a lot of red wine due to my esophageal hernia, but this one seems to go down smoothly. It's called "Camp" is from Australia.    Posted:   Jan 24, 2020 - 8:11 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Oh come on! If it's a Bierstube-type establishment, it should be glorious! (you don't get much in terms of good specialty beers at these places, but the atmosphere is great!). It's got great beer and the food is always outstanding. We're regulars there. It's a family-run place which was once part of a long-defunct seafood restaurant chain, but that was way back in the early 1970s--though they still serve plates with the old logo on it! I hope to eat and drink there when EURO 2020 happens this summer. I don't generally drink a lot of red wine due to my esophageal hernia... I didn't know hernias went up that high!    Posted:   Jan 24, 2020 - 8:19 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Hernias go everywhere! I hope by EURO 2020 you mean the footie and not Eurovision Song Contest. Although I suppose the latter would work in that environment too.    Posted:   Jan 24, 2020 - 9:02 AM     By:   Thomas   (Member) There's something Thor and I have in common, I have that type of hernia as well. It can be pretty painful when it flares up. I tend to avoid all wine, as it just burns like hell and it ain't worth it! Anyway I'm heading to the local shortly for a few hours, to drink many beers and chat to the nice girls    Posted:   Jan 24, 2020 - 9:16 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) There's something Thor and I have in common, I have that type of hernia as well.

Or have I misread previous comments?    Posted:   Jan 24, 2020 - 9:20 AM     By:   Thomas   (Member) LOL! Well, yes, aren't you? Or have I misread previous comments? Don't know how you got that idea! Hold on, I'll have to let the missus and my daughters know....    Posted:   Jan 24, 2020 - 9:23 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Geezes, I've done it again! Sorry about that. I'm losing it in terms of having total control of previous threads and comments.    Posted:   Jan 24, 2020 - 9:24 AM     By:   Thomas   (Member) Lol I think you've had a few too many already!!    Posted:   Jan 24, 2020 - 9:26 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Most definitely.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Cheers!    << < 48 49 50 51 52  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112
