In the early 70s I lived in a Idyllic farm cottage with my first wife, it was a beautiful place, right on the edge of the Solway estuary in Cumberland,,I loved it but my ex did not, anyway thats not why Im writing this post, the reason is, homemade wine, I quickly made friends and one friend in particular used to make his own and on a warm summers night, it was a Friday as I was not at work the following day, Bob invited me to his home for a bit of tasting, and what a selection he had, Blueberry, Blackberry Gooseberry Elderberry ,Everysortofberry homemade Cider he even had a strictly illegal still set up in his barn and from that temple of iniquity flowed pure rocket fuel , it was meant to be a secret but even the the village Bobby, strangely, his name was Bob, was supplied with the very very potent liquid,the vicar, a Carlisle United footballer ,a school teacher a GP a Surgeon , the list was long.
So my first free sample was Gooseberry !!!!! I have never ever tasted any form of alcoholic beverage before or since that compared with this liquid, and Bob was very generous every sample was poured into the tea mug from which I downed every one , next was Blackberry,and I swear I have never before or since, and so on and on and on to the Cider , this was stored in large kegs and as it flowed into my mug you could see chunks of apple and the odd piece of Orange , he said it gave added punch,that I could not deny I was feeling like I had been punched I had to sit down and I would not have cared if the world had exploded I felt so elated so happy , I was having a deeply thought provoking chat with one of Bobs chickens then a rather heated debate with the vicar, we were never going to be bosom buddies our views on religion poles apart, an thats the last thing I remember, though I was was chatting away to the captive audience consisting of three Border Collies and a Border Terrier, apparently I know nothing of that,My wife was summoned and I was carried to our car , I woke up in the car to the sound of the Dawn chorus, the water fowl version, the sun had just climbed above the Pennines and amazingly I had no hang over so I walked out onto the marsh and gathered some wild mushrooms, they really dont like to be picked and make a fuss. then back to my white painted cottage for a fry up it was 6.30am I was 22

Hi, Fed and Gus,
I enjoyed reading your trips down memory lane... However, I thought that drinking alcohol is supposed to protect against getting Parkinson's !! I can understand why I contracted this illness, as I have never liked alcohol, but what about you two !!!!!! Lol. Clearly the protection given by alcohol is nonsense.
Regards
Hi all
This has gone away from the original topic so I'm closing this thread now to make sure people searching for information on general anaesthetic after Parkinson's diagnosis can see the information they need.
As always, you can start a new thread about other topics in the relevant section of the forum.
Thanks all
Sharon
