tamthebam Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I was bored and tried working out if I could drink to the 12 Days of Christmas using Edinburgh pub names. 1. A pint in the Pear Tree (Partridge in a Pear Tree) 2. 2 in the Doocot (2 Turtle Doves) 3.3 pints in Frenchies (3 French Hens) 4. 4 in the Colinton Inn (a pun- couldn't think of anything else for 4 calling birds..) 5. 5 in the Golden Rule (5 Gold Rings) 6. 6 in the Blue Goose (6 Geese a laying) 7. 7 in Swany's Bar (7 Swans a swimming) 8. 8 on the Maid of the Forth (it's licensed. Probably doesn't sail at Christmas, but it is licensed! 8 maids a milking) 9. 9 in the Chanter (part of the pipes. so there. 9 pipers piping) 10. 10 in the Drum and Monkey (10 Drummers Drumming) 11. 11 in the White Lady (11 Ladies dancing) and finally 12. 12 in Lord Bodo's (12 Lords a leaping) Can you do the same thing using Glasgow pub names or come up with your own lists- I challenge you alcoholic lot to have a bash!

Grim O'Grady Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Do we not have a drinking establishment in Edinburgh called the hen and chickens? Or are they just south of the border boozers? Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoBroccoli Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'll be making a "Christmas bowl of Smoking Bishop" this year, as referenced in what I can only assume is Charles Dickens's festive tribute to a certain Mrs Vorderman - "A Christmas Carol" Anyway, yeah, I like to make this because of reasons. However, there's a full bottle bottle of port, a full of bottle of wine, and six oranges as part of the recipe so it fair blows your head off. Would recommend - it's basically mulled wine but tasty.

supermik Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Is the Drum and Monkey not shut now? Eta. Not that it makes any difference to your song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
