Tanqueray & Tonic For Nerve Damage?

[DTCwordfan]

I'm about to launch into a Tanqueray & Tonic, the tonic (or rather the quinine in it) good for restoring nerves, or so I am told.....is there any truth to this witch's tale?.

Whatever, it's a good excuse! My first in months and I'm using 0% sugar tonic....

Oh I wondered what that ringing noise was!!

I cured a year of tinnitus by accidentally pouring boiling olive oil in my ear..... not really recommended.....but the train finally leaving my head was wonderful....x

Always have tonic water ready in the fridge
Have had a half bottle of gin unopened for months, meant to drink it in the summer but summer never came

[DTCwordfan]

Bet it was, and you weren't standing still in the Head station, I guess?

[-SharonA-]

That is drastic gness!!!

[DTCwordfan]

join in a celebratory one, Daisy, lots of ice and a slice of lime (a little squeeze of that) - and gin to taste please....

Dancing around the kitchen, DT.....x

I'm not overfond of doctors, Sharon....so I do alternative things first...this was very alternative....but the silence is bliss.....x

Hey Jackoi ! I have frequent quarrels and fights ( handbags scratching biting - usual football association rules ) and can you give me a ref for Alexandra ?

Mary was always called Queen Mary widowed or no.

I thought the QM was specifically taken from the 1669 case ( which is so long ago it aint really been a precedent ) thx

[DTCwordfan]

That doesn't surprise me......x

[DaisyNonna]

Cheers DT, already have a Scotch and water

[DTCwordfan]

well done, a nice malt?

Queen Alexandra was the widow of Edward VII and mother of George V.

[Peter Pedant]

Which gin did Margaret and the QM favour ?

[ should I ever be going thro a queenie phase]

If it works....... I salve my conscience with 0% tonic too. I keep remembering Clarissa Dickson-Wright whose system was ruined (not by the gin) but by the ladylike tonic she drank it with. Oh what the heck!

[DaisyNonna]

On my pension?

[Peter Pedant]

Yes Jack I knew that
along with she favoured pearls around her neck to cover an unsightly thyroid scar....
a ref for Queen Alexandra being called the Queen Mother

[Peter Pedant]

Clarissa Doo-Dah was so wrecked so often that she was slung out of the bar !

the Bar that is - stopped being a lawyer ... oops

[DTCwordfan]

Gordon's Export from what I saw, PP.....

So a Grouse then, Daisy?
