OK i won't tell you

What's a mimosa?

Audere - who clearly hasn't had one.

Orange juice (freshly squeezed) and champagne. Standard brunch drink in California.

No a mimosa is one of those plants with fern like leaves. I've never had one but I hear tales

I think in the uk we call that a Bucks Fizz

In my opinion, it is better to make such novelty drinks with a cheaper bubbly.

Ah a good Irish - more bang for the buck (or euro) - a little whisky? (or is it whiskey?)

Aha! a mimosa is a Buck's Fizz - so i have had loads of them.

Rolf a Chav - no way, he's a Living Legend. BTW Audere you must listen to Rolf's definitive version of A Stairway to Heaven before going to see Led Zeppelin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy5KjaAS7nY

Now if that's not an amazing segue, I don't know what is.

yank doth wonder if there is any kind of alcoholic concoction audere has not had lots of?

Absinthe? - That could really lead to the stairway to hev-ev-en

Paddy....go ahead and keep drinking the cheap swill if you must but in my house you only get Moet or Crystal....sorry.

Guinness - foul foul stuff.

Crystal? Is that one of the rip-off the brand name ones?

Crystal is only drunk by rappers and footballers. It's as common as lower back tattoos.

Custard Monster - My point was it's Cristal, not Crystal (which in the US is a cheap, non-alcohol, kool-aid type drink).

It doesn't matter how you spell it - it's still bloody pikey.

What is "pikey"?

Cristal has been a prestige Champagne long before there were rap stars swigging from the bottle. It was originally created for Czar Alexander II of Russia in the 19th Century. . There is an interesting story regarding the actual bottle. Unlike the bottles of other fine Champagnes, the bottom is not deeply punted. The relatively flat bottom was crafted for Roederer, the maker, who was supplying it to the Czar. A deeply punted bottle whould have allowed an assasin to secrete a weapon.. Unlike other Champagne bottles, the bottle is clear so that the Czar could see inside and check the contents...so the story goes..

bilboburgler - To understand Audere, you need a translator. Look under "P" for pikey.
