@Paekakboyz Lion Ice!
Cold filtered or summink, to give extra hangover!
Yep Lion Ice was my teenage drink in the 90s, I could buy underage from the liquor store behind Big Fresh. Remember when we had to be 20 but could use the paper licence of an older cousin or brother. Fun times.

You can still buy flame apparently.
My apartment took awhile to sell and my mortgage payments were very high for some time but I never got that desperate.
I remember in the late 90s drinking some DB Export dry and thinking I’d made it in the world.
Is there still export super dry? That was my drop when I became rich and moved into the city.
You’re from the richest part of the Hutt. Don’t make out you’re self made……
But to answer your question I’ll have a gander at the Supermarket tonight.
Immigrants buy hardware store in rich, white village. Recipe for success right?

Hah, fuck that jogged my memory to first time trying to buy, thanks for the giggle. 4 of us, think we were 15, 3 midgets and Marc (RIP) who was about 6'3" on Kent Tce near KFC, Marc goes in, gets our booze, walks over to us and as soon as he puts the beers down and we're all smiles, cops pull up after obviously watching the whole thing.

@Bones and ...??? Did they care? Don't leave us hanging
Took the booze, told us off. Nothing more! I was terrified, I was a goody two shoes.
Probably like my mate’ second ex-wife who was a schoolteacher. Caught some kids with dope and confiscated it on the spot. They spent the next three nights stoned at home.

confiscated for drinks that night. Classic 90s policing I assume
there was always a liquor outlet that would serve you if you could see over the counter.

@Bones ha, the couple of times I tried to buy before I was 20 I got asked for ID, I was too scared to use someones fake ID!
Luckily, like most of us, I had one of those mates who had 5 o'clock shadow at midday when he was 16, he never got asked.

Lol same thing happened to me twice, I had a beard in high school so it always fell on me to buy the grog. Cops were waiting outside and grabbed me on the way out. Basically, said tell us who sold it to you and you are free to go. I got my money back, shop got in trouble, and I simply drove to another liquor store and got the grog for the party.

When I was 16-17 in England, to avoid me being stopped by the bouncer, my friends used to get into the pub and then pull me through the toilet window because I looked about 14.

Also a surefire way to brag about how you got pulled every time.

but also a massive sense of achievement. Now I prefer to pay someone. Back and knees just aren't up to it.
This. If you have to do the bending and stretching you used to do, you end up, like me, looking like Quasimodo for a day or two.
Spent 6 hours yesterday cutting and splitting logs from some trees I took down earlier this year. Physically tired but no contortions needed so no serious aches or inability to move

@Victor-Meldrew don't you dare ignore Pomare, Epuni and Ava.

I’m in the ANA lounge drinking a Sapporo beer from an automatic machine, about to fly home to see my parents - after more than two years - and life is bliss. My boy is here watching TV quietly, while I load up on booze before we climb onto a sky couch then wake up in NZ.
One GOM point - when did kiwis become the new Americans? The lounge is full of people wearing masks unless they are eating or drinking, except for two loud fluffybunnies who are clearly kiwis. Loud, annoying, rude, everything I’d expect from Americans, and yet.
