I have followed a ritual of buying a bottle of scotch prior to every England test series so that I can celebrate a successful day's play and their eventual victory.
With the remarkable success of the England during the the last two years, I was in danger of becoming a regular dipsomaniac.
On the teams arrival in the UAE I made my usual purchase and waited expectantly for the opportunity to open the bottle.
The bottle stands unopened in a cupboard as testament to the horror of that series. I hope that England play well enough in SL so that I and the bottle of scotch can celebrate once again in perfect union.
Sri Lanka please don't spoil the party.
A scotch missed.(mist)

Judging by rabbits anti England comments, he's having to compensate with pints of bitter.

Not entirely sure the scotch will survive unscathed the next day or so, as I have to complete my Dutch tax return for 2011 before the month's end. Tea and sympathy wont cover the discovery of a high tax bill.

Nar!!! don't drink that dish water Fosters rubbish.....ya correct with the Bitter though.....Melbourne Bitter.....like mother's milk it is, absolutely bloody beautiful.
But un-like hopey I can manage to consume my daily in-take win lose or draw, because if it was only after a victory that I got stuck into the grog I wouldn't be here today after the 25 years it took England to re-claim the ashes on Aussie soil....

hopey, it's a damn shame tarts isn't more of an international event, because you could have a drink at your leisure then......except for the odd Aussie that arrives and spoils the party over time, but certainly more plentiful then cricket, football, union & league etc....
