Off for an eighties week-end on Friday. Have plenty of colourful outfits to wear, but was thinking of theming the drinks too. Can remember drinking Taboo and lemonade and 20:20. Can any one else remember what they drank in that delightful decade??

Thanks for that! I think we must have laced ours with too much vodka ... nothing tasted of anything by the end of the night!

Yeah, 'skol, skol, skol, skol...' was a catchy one. However did they think that one up? Marketing Geniuses!!

Have done booze run, but sadly lacking in retro drinks. Did get Taboo, Blue Bols, vodka, peach schnapps and a huge bottle of Lambrini (closest I could find to Lambrusco). The Concorde was only 7% - can you believe it? Actually I spent most of the 80's under-age, so a whiff would have probably had me under the table! Thanks for every one's contributions.

Have a fab week-end folks!

I think I might!

I feel a 'well apparently...' moment coming on already...xx
