Hard News by Russell Brown

Zum Wohl. Quite literally "To Health". The winner will be the healthiest drunk in town!

Low humz and peach thrills...
So there's a rad new obstler to swallow on the block...
it's a must you say...
and we're to take the piss but luckily
' it’s not going to flood our stream'

:- )

What no Peach!
Only Plum, Feijoa and some fruit called Natural?

Bar plum plug!
and what about us unsweet, if not tart, non-tweeters?
the tyranny of technology wins again!

#zumwohl Hark, no low humz but a clarion call for sliver wits to bottle or kirsch the ruling classes...

(Interesting to note that Mr D Farrar was a child alcoholic/imbiber)

This is so weird, I had a dream about Schnapps last night.
Well, not just about Shnapps, I fought a God and the God won.
But what about the guy's name "Ulf Fuhrer"?
I think I have one thing to add, Ulf, do you think it will be a hit, le shnapps?

I also dreamed about Labour willing the Election ;-)

What sort of drink is a thomw, when made in NZ? thomwnz indeed.

Well done for securing some advertising revenue!

It's a bit ballsy of them to lay claim to being the first NZ produced schnapps though. There's a reasonably well-known producer in Tauranga that has been distilling excellent schnapps for a decade now. Just saying ...

A catch-up of top tweets:

Yesterday’s winner was:

@kebabette: Guyon: n. slang The physical manifestation of political excitement. As in Leonard Cohen song “Don’t go home with your guy-on” #zumwohl

Top contenders:

@kaupapa: Mass poisoning for those playing the “actually” drinking game #johnkey #votenz #zumwohl

@rorymccourt: Sean Fitzpatrick from Liberterianz spends 3 minutes showing the audience how to find their idealogical G-spot #tawadebate #nzvotes #zumwohl

@Lol_Nats: If I had a swig of booze for every time John Key said actually, I’d be more drunk than I already am now #zumwohl #nzvotes

@N_BenWilson_Z: Future Investment Fund. Because we don’t know what assets we want, but we do know that we don’t want the assets we have! #votenz #zumwohl

Feel kinda bad I couldn't bust out a bottle for Ben and Sacha too. It’ll happen.

Honoured to be noted - thought the subject matter might cause some pause :)

Nah. We seem to have a liberal brief :-)

Also happy to be noted. I thought my effort lacked punch, and didn't hold too much hope. This 140 character business is taking some getting used to.

But I am coming around to Twitter. It's good for joking around, and a continual stream of interesting links.
