Christmas Hip Flask Challenge

[SwissBlade]

Before this gets moved, I put in General Blades section as its about the match day experience during winter.

I missed the game yesterday, too close to me coming back on Weds. But I was away in Hamburg this week and picked up a nice new St Pauli Hip-flask - perfect timing considering the current cold snap.

It replaces my 10 year old Salford Uni Hip-flask, which has had some hammer in recent seasons!

So with new Hip-flask ready, I have to decide what to put in this one for Boxing day.

A number of us take them and have a wide variety of spirits at our disposal from Kazakh Cognac, Greek Metaxa, Indian Honey Brandy to the usual malts, vodka's and cognac.

So is anyone else planning such exciting accompaniments over the festive period?

Whatever malt I get my hands on, although by choice it's either Jura, Bowmore or Tobermory, or a good glug of Jack Daniel's.

 

[beightonblade]

pop sum Drambui in it !

 

[SwissBlade]

Good choice, I'm thinking firewater - a Grappa or a schnapps

Ever tried Oban?

 

[silverfox]

Metaxa's a good call....or Mcallan, Glenmarangie or cold tea?

 

[broomhillblade]

I'm surprised they even let hip flasks into the ground these days.
After all, flags have to undergo a health & safety check.
God knows what they'd make of the old-fashioned wooden rattles!

 

[Maidenhead]

Metaxa for me. Always bring a couple of bottles home from Greece with me.

I often wondered how fans could watch the same game and come away with completely differing opinion on players and the performance, I think I have the answer, Hip Flasks and their contents.

And looking at this thread, Hip Flask = Clapper

Which begs the question, how big is Duncs Hip Flask ?

 

[broomhillblade]

Hip flask and tartan blanket to wrap around the knees.
That's the height of clapperism.

(I've never used either - a mug of Bovril at half-time will do me)

 

[silverfox]

Why does a thread about hip flasks have to try and put fans into camps that don't even exist?

Very strange thought some people must have.

I've never took a hip flask by the way.....what does that make me?

Hipless?

I think its just lighthearted fun Silverfox! Grab yourself a hip flask and jump aboard the drunken clapper bus to positivity

I do have a hip flask.....maybe someone will buy me some grog to put in it!

I must admit to being a bit of a girl where spirits are concerned. Every time I take a shot, I get a strange feeling that it wants to come back out. Often it does.

However, that doesn't make me refrain from being cold. So my philosophy is "Thermals and the best socks you can get." For me, it's all about the feet. Get them warm and you're onto a winner. And of course a Bovril and a Chicken Balti Pie at half time.

If thats the case, I can see why the knockers are so miserable. Now you all have the solution i sugest yo try it.

 

[S5Blade]

Sailor jerrys! The old recipe with Vanilla is amazing and would be perfect in a hip flask!

 

[silverfox]

I think any clothing or hip flask help would have been great yesterday.

The Lane was very cold yesterday.

 

[Dog Blade]

Port and Brandy appears in the dogs flask most games, remember 'hip flasks aren't just for Christmas' Swiss. Give him a season ticket, it helps with the football as well these days

Its the concrete floor, maybe now we have contacts in the Carpeting Industry we should be able to buy your seat with the Concrete Carpeted.

A Season Ticket with Fitted Carpeting, I cant figure why our Marketing have not come up with this before.

Of course another benefit for the Hip Flask Brigade is when they have consumed all the contents, the inevitable slump to the floor will be a soft landing.

Totally agree Dog, however since i'd tret mesen to a new Hip Flask I thought i'd see what others were filling theirs with - just to give the new one a special welcome.

I must say though that Boxing day will be the Hip Flasks 1st outing this season. Normally its out much earlier in the Autumn... Perhaps this explains the why we've been so poor this season?

[Yossarian]

Thank you for at least keeping the sentence in context when you quoted me.

Always thought about taking one to a game but never have done. Maybe I'll get one and give it a go on Boxing Day? Fatha-in-law has left a bottle of Talisker in the cupboard, however, I too am a big girls blouse when it comes to spirits so it more than likely would just contain Southern Comfort with a bit of lemonade, lol. :blush:

 

[Oreyt]

Aberlour A'bunadh for me please.

 

[Nick Jansky]

I know some lads who produce marijuana wine, I reckon a hip flask full of that could probably make us look like Barcalona.

Hipless?

A miserable git?

 

[silverfox]

A miserable git?

Not a clapper?

I'm confused!

Athough I'm not known for taking a drink.

No! Really?

>God knows what they'd make of the old-fashioned wooden rattles!
when was a kid my grandfather made me one from the dimensions given in the blue peter annual.. a couple of years ago i decided to take it for a laugh.. it was confiscated on the door as an offensive weapon and i never got it back.. you could have done some serious damage with that thing
