At this point I've bought 1 bottle of half decent Bubbly ready for the big day. I drank that when I bought a block of land in October. Then I bought a bottle of Gentleman Jack, I thought that was cool as it's American. Drank that at Xmas.

I changed it up a bit hoping for some Irish good luck. Some special Irish Whiskey. Bushmills. Bloody drank that for my birthday last month.

I've got a bottle of Jameson's on order. Fourth times a charm.

Hopefully.
