    I don't think I've ever tasted Taboo...

    I love watching DS open his pressies and going for a walk along the beach at xmas as everyone is so happy and friendly.

    Taboo is something I only ever seem to have at Xmas - I like it, but I never fancy it at other times of year. I haven't bought a bottle this year, didn't seem much point really. I just bought some Smirnoff Ice instead!

    For some reason nothing says Xmas to me like Taboo :confused: I don't know why because it's not particularly festive!

    Finally managed to speak to D (boyfriend.....better not plaster his name all over the internet just yet, although anyone on Facebook has probably already encountered him posting smut on my profile lol). He put his son on the phone to say hi too - feel sort of touched by that. :)

    Oh BB - he's not in the park today, but if you nip down to Bournemouth seafront quick, he's parked up by all the diggers, because they've just been building sandcastles on the beach! :A
    Lol it actually reminds me of New Year's Eve. I used to drink that, mirage and Cinzano Bianco (bit of a woman when it comes to my booze me you know!)

  • I bought a bottle a few weeks back, must be the first time in 15 years I'd tasted it, but it brought back memories of drinking in the late 80s, excellent memories.

    For anyone who hasn't yet bought those essential stocking fillers.......have a flick through a few of these 'bargains' still available.......

    I think I remember an advert at the cinema for Taboo and Mirage...

    that is almost worth putting myself through the fear of driving to meet him!!!!

    I'll be in Poole Park around 4.30pm tomorrow if he wants a rendevous in the dark for me to check him out to see if he is suitable for you :cool: :rotfl:
