Well you can but try, eh? 
Hello miserable, sad old sod
![]()
That's me! 
You a miserable, sad old sod? No way. That's got to be a typo! ![]()
Yeah, maybe...
I wouldn't bank on it though. :
Miserable, sad, old... but honest! ![]()
I like reading other people's lists (as long as they're not too long) but can't think of anything to write when I get tagged - so have mixed feelings.
Honesty; well, yes, I try. ![]()
I like miserable sad, old sods...
Well thank you, that's comforting to know. 
Of course, this could just reflect my strange taste in men...
...and they don't come much stranger than me... 
Oh, I think they do...
I wouldn't bank on it if I were you... ![]()
I do know a very motley collection of strange men...
Oh well, perhaps there's hope for me yet then. ![]()
Lots of it!
You think?
Hey, you haven't been peering into one those crystal balls again have you... ![]()
No, but in some matters, I'm an eternal optimist!
I hope you're not cock-eyed... 
I don't think so...
At least, if I am, it's not on alcohol, since I'm allergic to it in all shapes and forms!
Gosh, really? You're the second person I've 'met' recently who is allergic to alcohol. I'd not really thought about it before, but I'd guess that was quite uncommon.
Yes, really and truly! I even have to avoid it cooked, which has been known to cause more difficulty than me being vegetarian!! You get accused of being over fussy by stating in advance you have this allergy, and told not to be silly, the alcohol burns off (which I know, but try telling my body that one, on the few occasions people have ignored my instructions, or thought if they didn't tell me, it would be OK, I've been thoroughly sick within the hour!!) Or you get accused of rudeness for refusing to eat what' in front of you.
I've only come across one or two other people with an alcohol allergy, though a lot who are intolerant to some forms of it.
It did mean there was much enthusiam for getting me through my driving test... and great joy when I go to visit some good friends, as it means they can have a couple of drinks out, and I can drive home. (since they are kind enough to keep me on their car insurance!)
Poor you; I really do sympathise. Any allergy that has such a drastic effect must be hell to live with; especially when eating out, because you never really know what you're in for.
Clouds and silver linings I suppose (being the designated driver). It must give you the odd smile seeing those around you enjoy themselves in the knowledge they don't have to drive home.
Actually, I'm so used to it and so are my friends, it really doesn't impinge on my life in any significant way these days, other than the aforementioned annoying encounters! Oh, and those occasional drives home...
It's a good reason, amongst others, for being a vegetarian. It's rare to get cooked alcohol in veggie main courses, and I can always have plain ice-cream for pudding!
I guess that's true isn't it? Not that vegetarian food is necessarily plain or boring, but it does tend to be alcohol free.
Before we go off the edge again....
No, the way I cook, vegetarian food is not plain, dull or boring. But, again, I've been veggie for so long, and like my food so much, there's no way I'd eat boring food if I've cooked it!
Pleased to hear it. There's nothing worse than eating for the sake eating and being bored into the bargain...
