Graham, the can trick to which you refer, was often done sitting in a circle with a few stoned mates and more usually known as the "beer hunter".

Then in the early 70s there were the early alcopops. Vodka and lime, Vodka and orange (both with sickly neat cordial to hide the taste of vodka!)

Now what would have happened if you could have got vinho verde as a yoof. Not to difficult to put away thre or four bottles each on a Sunday afternoon.

I remember 'Cherry B', Babycham and Snowball's being thought of as terribly sophisticated to we teens back in the early 70s.
God, we were cool!

I remember clubbing together with a few mates (a few pence each!) and taking those large tins of Watneys Party Seven to do's. Oh the joys of Watneys.
Now, on the subject of beer does anyone know anywhere in CVO that sells the dark Sagres beer (Preta? sp) on draught? Sullys had it years ago but I don't think they've done it for a while.

Gettin pissed in the park at night when mumsy thought I was at a friends house. Coke and vodka with a load of cheap cider- only to get drunk enough not to be able to run from the massive gang of scallys that jumped us for the booze. bastards.

Remember Dark Rum & blackcurrant? Mate of mine got completely rat a***d on it about 30 years ago and someone had the bright idea to take him for a spin around town with the windows open to sober him up. After a few minutes he had an acute attack of projectile vomitting which due to the slipstream splattered along the whole length of his lime green Hillman Husky. The driver looked at the mess & due to the colour of the vomit thought that my mate was suffering from internal bleeding & rushed him to A & E where he had his stomach pumped! They kept him in overnight - don't think he's touched rum & black since, nor have I as I had to clean up the mess which had dried rock hard - no pressure washers in those days.
Oh happy days!!!

For the dark draught beer try Anteak Bar, Rua Do Barranco [The out road]
I enjoyed several there in March

Thanks for the info on the beer guys. I love that stuff and look forward to a few in June.
Ellie, I'm afraid the answer is no but it sounds like it would have been fun!! (I'm actually South African rather than French). Thanks for the welcome.

Try just pure Vodca and the time flies!!! Even if it's raining.....it looks
like the sun is shining.

Ellie · Post by **Ellie** » Fri May 14, 2004 8:33 pm

Oh it was Pierre...it was...he taught me a lot.........of French that is!

If you have French blood..you must like the 'Vin' as well as the 'dark stuff'I presume?
Is that mr Smirnoff youre speaking of Finn..never had it neat..usually with lime or tonic..where you been..we havent seen you around for some time??.....Finland maybe?

Dear Ellie,
Just got back from Carvoeiro.....nasty weather all the time. At home it
was warm about + 26. We Finns normally drink Finlandia Vodca and the
russians drink Smirnoff. But anyway i enjoyed a lot!!!
