....eeerrrr back to the Quantum of Blandness

So how many quantums of Red does in take to make Allan Bland drunk, I wonder?
Does it depend on the bland? ;-) :-D

#By the Blight, of the silberry Bloon...#

The quantum mechanics of alcohol consumption. It really is too deep for most people, therefore I shan't bother to try to explain it :-0

Suffice it to say that the smaller the molecule the greater the affect on other small particles, particularly brain cells.

But as this is a bland thread there is no point in discussing any bland new hypotheses :-P :-P

:-D :-D :-D :-D

Would you get drunker faster with a screw top wine bottle rather than a cork bottle...as you waste less time opening bottles.......

I'd need to time myself, Caroline, preferably over the course of a couple of weeks; one week with corks and the other with screw-caps.

Other things would have to be equal e.g. type of grape, alcoholic strength, purchased from the same store etc.

Let the experiment commence! ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Sounds like a plan !
Boring part would be the bland group.....must make sure all possible answers are found.....
I think you'd also need to test different types of openers....

Well I am just wondering do you have to let the wine corked breath more than the screw .is it more Bland or no Thank you :-D :-D

There you go again my remark to bland to be answered ?.oh well off to get my breakfast Cornflakes & bland flakes :-D ;-)

You've raised an interesting point, Barbra.

Wine snobs will tell you that red wine must be brought 'to temperature' and allowed 'to breathe'

Nonsense!

I've found over the years that standing on a chair, or the table, and pouring wine from the bottle into the glass, leads the wine to absorb oxygen and therefore 'breathe'.

This has also had the side effect of causing numerous arguments with my OH over splashing of wine on the carpet :-|

Mind you, we also have the same arguments over my use of the toilet, although I must point out that I don't use a chair (or the table) for that purpose :-S

Back to the wine; living only two hours away from the major wine producing Region of Margaret River in WA I've also found that keeping several empty bottles with Margaret River wine labels and then filling them with cask wines, can seperate the men from the boys, or, the boozers from the connosiuers. :-P

OMG, me mind's gone bland ... no, blank at the number of bland responses. So much so that if I wanted to post anything about bland wines I shall have to start looking at the labels. :-0

So, off the booze I'll go - I don't mean forsaking it.

Anyone remember Blue Riblands? Are they still on the shelves?

:-D

I remeber Blue Riblands, but if they are still on the shelves they would long be past their 'best before' date

and Blue Bland margarine

:-D :-D :-D

and which is the best broadbland?

We have Sky broadbland, but it's gone very slow! You'd think it'd been on Allan's bland of red!

I'm still trying to work out how many glasses of wine before Allan falls off the chair or even cares if there's enough air in the wine !!

"Bland on the run".

Caroline, I never care about how much air is in the wine. I buy it to drink not to savour; I quaff not sip (that could almost be a heraldic motto) :-D

And as for falling off chairs, which I've been known to do whether standing or sitting on them, after consuming wine, the last time it happened the doctor at A & E gave his candid opinion that it was 'more than a few! :-|

LOL
But then we're back to how big is the glass in the first place ...a few enormous sized glasses would do most of us in...

Again, how many sizes of glass are there?

I normally use a fish bowl for every day consumption, because everyone says that I drink like a fish, and a five hundred millilitre glass for 'posh' occasions :-D :-D

Fish bowl sounds goods, you know where you stand then !
