In a Martini? I'd say, perhaps an olive kebab ....
As it is, I would prefer something sparkling. Is that a bottle of 'Vieux Pretentious' over there, covered in cobwebs?

I'd like to ask the folks at the bar: What is a good local for a postgrad student at Southampton Uni? I'm sure when I get there they will have recommendations, but I'd like to see your takes on it.

Blimey. Think I'll stick to the pork scratchings.
I'll have a large cooking sherry while you're up there.

Is it too early for gin? It looks like it's going to be one of those weeks.
