Some mothers do ave em ? The Box Set
Well, what can you say about Frank Spencer?
A gentile man with a heart of gold but the competence of a 3 year old.
Frank can?t get a job. His Mac and Beret are not helping.
When he gets a job, which is extremely rarely, it never lasts more than a day.
The people at the job centre run for cover or start popping pills or hiding in cupboards.
His DIY always turns out to be either incompetently done or a death trap and in most cases both.
He wife, Betty, or should that be ? Ooh Betty? for some never defined reason sticks with him through it all.
With the innocence of a child he meanders through life never quite figuring it all out, a bit like the rest of us really.
Frank, Betty, their cat who always seemed to be doing a ?Whoopsie? and later their daughter Jessica ...

Advantages: It's gorgeous, it'a alcoholic, it's a sweet, luxurious liqueur.. Disadvantages: Too expensive!
This has got to be my favourite drink in the world. And to use an American expression that I think rather fitting....Period. It's fantastic, I could rave on about it using all sorts of adjectives. but that's not going to get me a high rating, nor particularly inform you guys. :P
As described on the rather lovely packaging, this drink is 'uniquely dark and intriguing' and I've got to agree. Tia Maria is a dark rum and while it looks like it could be quite dry, it's got a deliciously sweet coffee/vanilla taste to it that is so moreish. Pour it into a glass and you'll see a thick, dark coloured, wonderful-smelling liquid come out. Put the glass to your lips and inhale the vanilla/coffee smell. Sip it slowly and taste the luxurious pleasure that is Tia Maria. I can't describe the taste, I wouldn't do it justice.
It's26.5% volume ...
