Dear me, I'm not tired tonight, but I am totally smashed. It started with the champagne - only a couple of glasses but it goes straight to the head. It's the bubbles, darlings. I moved on to white wine of the still variety afterwards.
However, the good news is that the Sage kissed me before - the bad news - he went out.
He went out. Yes. Hm.
However
He'll be back.
Blimey, I am smashed, aren't I.
I would, by the way, like to conduct a poll on how many say 'aren't I' and who says 'amn't I'. Any takers?
You are cool, smashed at 8.29. Well it is Friday.
ReplyDeleteI say ain't I. It's a London thing.
Martin, you are great. I hadn't even noticed how unfashionably early it is. Truth is, I prefer not to try to sleep when the room is going round, nowadays, so I get drunk early.
ReplyDeleteAin't I. Of course. Except round here, we say "Int"
Aren't I. That's what I say....question tags - rules must be respected etc etc ;)
ReplyDeleteA bit green about your state of non-sobriety though...I could do with some bubbly myself. Could also do with a kiss...well not from you Z - I mean I do love you but not enough for a snog.
*peck on the cheek* Wendz. Mouth very closed. Neither of us is that drunk.
ReplyDeleteI say "am I" as in "I'm never smashed,am I" coz I'm a teatotaller(I total teacups and I smash them,do not I).
ReplyDeleteAnyways why the brut de brut toasting?
Looking forward to reading about your
feathered flock as I am interested in birds since I had a pair of pidges in my room.
Hi Luna - no real reason for the fizz, just that Friday feeling.
ReplyDeleteWe had a pair of swallows down the chimney once. Not easy to persuade them out of the window.
"Aren't I"?
ReplyDeleteps I'm smashed too
ReplyDeletepps Where I come from, no-one over the age of 22 months says "amn't I". It's baby-talk and nothing more.
ReplyDeleteThere 'amn't' no such word as 'amn't'. At least there aren't in these parts.
ReplyDeletez,
ReplyDeleteyou are hip, personified. i aspire to your elder greatness. a truly wild woman.
and if this sounds cheeky, you need to know that it isn't. not at all. i mean every word.
No votes - not even mine - for amn't I as yet. Anyone? Don't be deterred by Dandelion, I know at least two people over the age of 22 months who say amn't.
ReplyDeleteJen, the things you say. It's no wonder I love you so.
Definitely "int". Tha's a rum owd dew!
ReplyDeleteI love champagne. You don't so much get drunk on it as get high on it. I recall some world-shattering hangovers though.
You are, as ever, right Steg. Not so much drunk as high.
ReplyDeleteI avoid hangovers though. I drink to enjoy, not to regret.
And, Pat and How Do We Know, who worry that I'm going to the dogs (sorry, Murph), I don't drink too much. Just the right amount. Heh heh.
I just shuddered at reading the word champagne - that's how much I drank the last time I had any (which was about three or four years ago on New Year's Eve). Good for you, though. If it doesn't make you sick or whatever. I have the same m.o. as far as the drinking early thing. Can't deal with hangovers.
