Sauvignon-plonk?

[scumdog]

Heading to the M.A.T.E.S. rally at Waikaia this weekend, Mrs SD scored an elegant brew to take with us, just wondering if any of you plonk conasewers have sampled Purple Death before? Comes from Henderson so some of yous Orkland types would have come across it. C.B. (Mrs SD) thought it should be o.k. as it is the same colour as our dunny, I didn't know she used such a sophisticated method to select the plonk that arrives in the wine-rack (V8 engine block) at Chez Scumdog!

Some of the description as per label: "...distinctive bouquet of horse-shit and old tram tickets. It is best drunk with teeth clenched to prevent ingestion of any foreign bodiess...." :puke:
"Marketed under the Saviour Brand (9 out of 10 people who drink it for the first time exclaim "Je-eesus Chris-ist"

I have heard of it but this is the first time I will (knowingly) have drunk it :blah:

It's an oldie but a goodie. Highly effective if the sole intention is getting seriously munted. Side effects vary from person to person. Not suited for persons aged 18 years or younger. Keep away from naked flames (both old and new). Objects in the rear-view mirror may be closer than they appear. May contain traces of nuts.

Shit is that crap still around!? We used to demolish ourselves on that stuff at the Junior Rates bar in Philomel in the late 80's. I would have thought it would be long gone by now. Maybe they've refined it a little and it might not have that "jeeee-sus-christ" bite to it that it had in the old days.

All I'll say is... "Good Luck!"

[Riff Raff]

Oh my God I haven't seen that stuff for years. I think it's something you drink in your teens and then try to forget about during the rest of your life.

:beer: When we got married years ago the father in law put labels on all the beer called Doctor erects horn provoker.. Shit got a few laughs :devil2:

I think that's the perfect description for it. Except for the "trying to forget". Enough of that shit in ya and you'll spend years "trying to remember" why strange girls keep comming up to you in the middle of the street just to slap your face or knee you in the nasties, or how you came to wake up in the middle of the park wearing a sexy black dress and not much else . :shit:

[scumdog]

That does it!! With all the 'positive' comments from drinking conasewers on this site we're off to buy the rest of the case of Purple Death :doh: :bleh:

First tried it about 20 years ago,the only place we used to be able to obtain it used to be the airforce bases and as a cheap way of getting hammered could only be beaten by Cold Duck

I vaugely remember stumbling around the Woodbourne parking area in the early hours of the morning and throwing up in the bushes after a night drinking it on the way to the 6 hour at Manfield

Doug and Nicci were kind enough to shout us a 1/2 G of the stuff to take with us with the result being I remember very little of the racing and most of the weekend is nothing more than very blurry memory.

This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is BEWARE!.
This is not a<o =""></o> wine for drinking -- this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.! Especially grown for those keen on regurgitation -- a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.

Even the dog turned his nose up. Hell don't insult ya tast buds. Use it to spray your roses for aphid.

In a word: SLOWLY, i have had a lot on lately plus I have 'lost' the section of exhaust from the 4 into 1 up to the turbo,any help here welcome. Just (at long last) managed to get a workshop manual for it (thanks again WT).

[ajturbo]

sorry but i have not help for the rebuild!! BUT i have had a pipe made for the xj900 from one of the local exhust, shops (nelson) cost F all! as the original was going to cost nearly $900.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...( i have brought whole, going, bikes for less!!!!)if they could get one!!!
so i would take the old part( if you have it) down,and get one rebuilt, or the 2 bits and tell them you need to fill the gap in, it WILL be cheeper than a new one.
but keep at it!!!! :scooter: :yeah:

If alcohol were 'invented' tomorrow it would be categorised an A-class drug.

In all honesty - what is the difference between alcohol and some drugs. Alcohol costs this country so much in terms of $$ and effects on peoples lives its a joke.

Ever been to a rave party where most people are on ecstacy - never heard of any fights, but go to your local pub and weee doggie its all on.

Sorry for the soapbox speil. Just hate the hipocrasy of it all. Drink on.

It'll be a shame when all the Dallie vineyards in West Auckland are gobbled up in urban sprawl...The house I'm living in predates those around it by a good 20yrs,I'd say it was part of an orchard or vineyard.The Dallies had a different approach to wine than traditional French type wines,when we lose them they will gone forever - I don't know all the fancy wine names...but I know port,sherry,rosea,satuerne,these are what we used to drink.When laying out the vineyard,first a shark was layed in the trench the vines were planted in.One of our favorites was Vat 3,$2 a flagon or 75 cents a bottle,Fullers made a Special Port every year,50 flagons only,stored in brandy barrels,this was serious stuff,not for the unexperianced...but the guy at the shop was a fairy.Faracs had a white port that made you sweat behind the knees...soon as your sample glass was empty he topped it up again,he was only satisfied when you hit the wall walking out of the shop.

Damn! What the hell am I doing buying Shiraz from Foodtown!!! Faracs is just up the road,I haven't been there for 20 yrs....I'm gonna drop in this weekend,or maybe Fullers,that poofta must of gone by now - I'll report back on my success in finding a true NZ wine - made for alcohol content,not taste...we have a standard to uphold.

I look forward to reading the findings of your research thesis. Good hunting!

You could always buy the cheapest Chateau Cardboard (if you can find one with only NZ wine - no Chillian, Seth Efrican or Strylian stuff) and mix in half a bottle of meths.
Should do the trick.

[Posh Tourer :P]

It'd work just as well if you mixed meths with flat sprite/raspberry fanta if my experience of cheap chateau carboard is anything to go by - cheaper too :D

Or flat L and P if ya want to go made in NZ....

Not hypocricy - it's harder to tax ecstacy! plus have you ever met those from a rave party that are on a mixture of e and p as well as alcohol! -real fun guys then - NOT!

Plus if you buy alcohol from a recognised source you have a general idea what you are getting, who knows what exactly is in that last lot of e or p that you just parted good money for? :doctor:
