Happy News, I Shit You Not!

Positive news day, eh.

Well I wasn't too confident at finding anything at all in the papers today, that was going to turn a Grumpy Old Twat into a Positive Old Twat but, fuck me, I couldn't have found anything better.

Red wine is EVEN better for you than originally thought!

Results of a new study by scientists have found further proof of a long and healthy life can be obtained by uncorking a bottle of your favourite vin rouge.

Fucking Brilliant!

The article in today's Daily Express goes on to say . . .

"Researchers have discovered that a key ingredient already known to be good for the heart and fighting cancer can also prevent inflammation, a chief cause of many chronic illnesses.
Now a new study has found the antioxidant resveratrol blocks two key proteins to stop inflammation which plays a major role in arthritis, diabetes, and irritable bowel syndrome."

Now for someone who is not averse to consuming industrial quantities of the red stuff, this is yet another positive reason I can offer up to Pigsy next time she questions my motives for over indulgence.

Good times!

Can't wait for 'the bar' to open tonight at 6pm.
Purely medicinal of course.

Cheers!

The Spirit of Christmas


It just isn't the same anymore.
The only spirit of the season that remains
is a nice single malt from Islay.

Apart from the fact that it's
"all about the money"
Christmas, Xmas, Winter Festival
or whatever else the fuck it's called these days,
is yet another sad victim of the
'politically correct' minefield.

You can't send cards depicting Christ,
you can't perform the nativity in school
and whatever you do
don't sing a fucking carol,
just in case you offend someone
with other religious beliefs.

So I shall just be getting pissed
during the newly named festive period of
Grumpy Old Twat Mas
