Sturdy Girl Drinks Again

I think that we could all do with a couple of drinks after the events of the past week.

George Thorogood - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer

The Return Of "Sturdy Girl"

 

Back by popular demand for one last appearance!

Here is a rather splendid, sampletastic track from Fab Samperi to get your weekend off to a funky start.

Have a good weekend people.

Beer Drinkers And Hell Raisers

Last week when I said that that would be an end to Friday alcohol post I lied.

This came on the mp3 player on Wednesday when I was waiting for the stupid o'clock flight to Luton and it fair cheered me up. Hadn't even realised I had uploaded that tune.

It also gives me another excuse to post the "sturdy" picture above which much impressed Anon the last time and also found favour with SA, Simon and Mr H.

Motorhead - Beer Drinkers And Hell Raisers

Brass Monkey Anyone?

I think that you may be relived to hear that this will probably be the last in the series of drink related Friday posts.

So to finish with do we have a sophisticated cocktail or a fine wine?  No in true ATKT stylee we have a pretty scummy, cheap and nasty concoction of malt liquor and orange juice which the Beastie Boys rapped about on their debut album. We folk from Lanarkshire are always ahead of the game when it comes to drink as I had a mate called Mil who used to put Kia-Ora in his Tennents Super long before we had even heard of the Brooklyn trio.

Have a good weekend people.

The Hymn For The Alcohol

No recommendations this week just a paean to all types of intoxicating drinks from the brilliant Hefner.

I myself will be drinking mostly Irn-Bru this evening on account of having to drive in to Glasgow to witness the Big Nosed Bard From Barking in all his glory. A man whose songs are as relevant now as they were back in the bad old days of the true blue meanies, sadly! Which side are you on?

Have a good weekend people.

Whiskey In The Jar

It was inevitable that this would eventually be posted in the Friday night tipple section.

I'm not a big fan of Irish Whiskey, I prefer the subtle,  smoother peaty Islay malts or even Black Bottle but I would still sooner have it than the American stuff.

I don't think that Gary Moore played on this but tonight I will raise a glass and play Parisienne Walkways to one of the finest guitarists it has been my pleasure to see play live, albeit a long time ago. Go easy Gary.

Thin Lizzy - Whiskey In The Jar (Peel Session)

A Swift Half

Just in from a rather scary trip to and from Aberdeen, so in need of a half or two. Up hear a half doesn't mean a half pint unless you are talking about a half and a half pint, it means a measure of spirit which up until about ten years ago was 1/4 gill considerably more than the English unit of preference a measly 1/6 of a gill. But alas we had to go metric so in Lanarkshire spirits are usually sold in 35 ml measures or multiples thereof, however in the East and the city's you are more likely to get 25 mls.

Tonight's song in celebration of the start of the weekend and the demon drink is a ditty where Mr Mark Smith sings of his longing for the quarter gill, oh and that city that thinks it's special just because it's got a castle.

Have a good weekend

The Fall - Edinburgh Man

Lilac Wine

I will not be imbibing tonight on account of having to drive into the town to see Allo Darlin' in the Captain's Rest. But may I suggest something sweet and heady for the rest of you drunkards out there.

I promise that this is the first and last time Jeff Beck appears on this blog. It could have been worse it could have been the Elkie Brooks version which I had to endure during my childhood my mother being a fan of Elkie's and once a record went on the music center in the living room it stayed there for months if not years.

I will however have not a word said against Pearl's A Singer. She stands up when she plays the piano, you know.

Have a good weekend people.
