Lambrini. Coz I'm a Lambrini Girl, yeah?

I mean, BabyCham... URGH! Plus, it's got saccharine in it.

well at least you've made your mind up

I'm surprised this isn't a Rumpie thread.

start another one if you like! since this thread seems to have died a death! nobody likes cheap fizzy then?

Babycham gives me asthma :(

I must confess I have a slight weakness for Lambrini, only because the girls who lived in my Swiss Cottage flat left two bottles of the stuff in the back of the fridge when they moved out - I drank it during those horrible dark lonely weeks when I was too broke to afford anything else!

do two bottles of lambrini really last for weeks?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 20 January 2006 11:17 (twenty years ago)

Lambrini is incredibly cheap and easy to drink.

The cherry one is a bit hard on the palate though, tastes like some kind of sweetie but I can't think what...

Bucks Fizz - you get some nice ones and you get some nasty ones, I'm sure a champagne one would be nice, but orange and wine don't really go together.

Babycham I haven't tried in years so I can't remember what like it is. Aren't the bottles really really tiny?

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Friday, 20 January 2006 11:22 (twenty years ago)

They do if you have one mug a night...

Yeah, Babysham bottles are tiny - you can get bigger ones, but they're still only a litre. And that stuff is NASTY!!! My mum bought it last Christmas, and none of us could drink it.

Babycham has a cute little deer on the label and so wins. Plus, you can't get Lambrini or Bucks Fizz trainers.

Plus, Babycham are responsible for Babyshambles, which is ten black marks against their name!

From time to time James Dean Bradfield has been known to change the lyrics of Masses Against The Classes so they boast of being "fucked up and dead on Babysham".

Just in case you care.

― Hello Sunshine (Hello Sunshine), Friday, 20 January 2006 12:28 (twenty years ago)

Or Babycham, obviously...

― Hello Sunshine (Hello Sunshine), Friday, 20 January 2006 12:29 (twenty years ago)

actually i think HEROINE is responsible for babyshambles!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 20 January 2006 12:45 (twenty years ago)

HEROIN even

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 20 January 2006 12:46 (twenty years ago)

unless you reckon that babycham is an ENTRY DRUG like how cannbis inevitably leads to cocaine.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 20 January 2006 12:48 (twenty years ago)

(I meant more that it was responsible for the name, sigh. but perhaps they would have called themselves something even more rubbish)

― filled the fjords of my brain (kate), Friday, 20 January 2006 12:49 (twenty years ago)

I'd buy the Bucks Fizz. And then some Polos.

Sweet low-alcohol fizzwine is a bit of a last resort drink. But Babycham + Brandy = a magical psychedelic journey culminating in waking up in a skip.

― Battle Raver II (noodle vague), Friday, 20 January 2006 12:51 (twenty years ago)

there must be a band called Lambrini to go with the other two.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Friday, 20 January 2006 12:51 (twenty years ago)

I used to drink Pink Lady when I was 16. It was great.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 20 January 2006 12:52 (twenty years ago)

Too bad you can't get Pink Champale (sp?) in the UK. Teenage taste of the ghetto, oh yeah!

― filled the fjords of my brain (kate), Friday, 20 January 2006 12:55 (twenty years ago)

(I meant more that it was responsible for the name, sigh. but perhaps they would have called themselves something even more rubbish)

So, if anything, Babycham did us a favour. That another plus for the little deer.
