We picked so many sloes one year that I was able to make sloe gin, sloe vodka, sloe brandy (not that wonderful) and sloe dry martini ;D ;D
I once worked with someone who used to make marrow liqueur. He used to make a long cut lengthwise off the marrow, scoop out the seeds, half fill with any cheap spirit, add brown sugar, put the lid back on and sit the whole thing in a washing up bowl. Then leave it in the airing cupboard for a couple of months.
The tight so-and-so never brought any in though, so I can't vouch for the taste ::)0 -

all the essex girls apparently drink malibu and pineapple and tia maria and coke and its a sign of being common
it was on that series about class, where they said hanging baskets were common as well.

Im more common than you because I have 8 hanging baskets AND gold taps in the bathroom
apparently that is the epitomy of common-ness
even though they came with the suite and I wasnt going to pay £180 for chrome ones im still common.
I would be trailer trash only we dont have a caravan im too common, so Im tent trash, cos weve got a tent somewhere.0 -

8 fl oz Water
6 oz brown sugar
4 tsp powdered Coffee
8 fl oz light Rum
4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Boil water, sugar and coffee for 10 mins and let cool. Add rum and vanilla. Put insterelised bottle and leave for about a week before using.
