Hey there @GonePirate, nice to see you back behind the bar. I hope that life has been treating you well.
Can I have a generous serve of Bailey's on ice please? Dessert and alcohol in one hit. Genius 🙂

Hi @GonePirate I'm ready for a quiet absinthe for my dreams tonight thanks. And I'll curl up on a suede lounge in the corner.

LOVE Tom Waites. @Silenus you just reminded me of one of my favourite of all time movies, Rumble Fish, where Tom Waites plays the coolest bar-keep ever.
I'll have a large G&T thanks. Celebrating because I just wrote a new poem (at last) - it's on the Writing As A Form of Therapy thread. Feeling good. Hope everyone else here is too. Slante!

@Silenus It stars a younger Matt Dillon, Mickey Rourke and Harry Dean Stanton and is pretty old now but you might still be able to get hold of it on-line. Loved the sound track.
Cheers to you too 😄
