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 ...

Advantages: It's alcoholic. It tastes lovely. It's alcoholic. Disadvantages: Price.
I?m beginning to think I have the alcoholic appreciation of a ten year old. Let me explain further. Occasionally I will drink beer or lager. But, I?ve never really grown to like the taste that much. On rare occasions, I will actually want to drink beer or lager in the same way, that on rare occasions I will want to drink tea. More usually however, I remain as I was as a ten year old, desperately wanting to like beer, lager or tea, but far more inclined to coffee, fizzy pop and sweet drinks. The popularity of alco-pops convinces me that I?m not alone!
This is where Tia Maria comes in for me. Now I?ve grown up, (or so it?s sometimes rumoured), I want alcohol. But the ten year old in me still wants sweet drinks. This gorgeous drink fits the bill perfectly, (as do many liqueurs). This one is special though, in that I never tire of it. It ...
