Here's to you, and here's to me...
25 March 2008
Given that it's still part of the Easter festive season (well sort of...), I thought it would topical to focus this week's GuzzBlog on Drinking Toasts. You know, those sometimes magical, sometimes downright awkward times when somebody drunkenly raises a glass and says...
So...dig into that old pickled memory and let us know whatToasts you love, what Toasts you hate and what Toasts you wished you'd thought of yourself, but were either too drunk or too slow witted (or both) to do so.
BTW: My personal favorite toast, kindly supplied to me by my youngest brother-in-law (you always know where you stand with Wazza), is as follows:
"Here's to you, and here's to me; best of friends we'll forever be; but, if by chance we disagree...well ...fuck you, and here's to me."
*PS My second favorite toast comes from some wag (I think it's attributed to Lord Byron, but I may be wrong) who, when asked at a dinner party to toast the topic of sex, simply stood up and proclaimed "It gives me the greatest pleasure..." then promptly sat down.
Cheers

it's not "fuck you" it's... "well fuck your toast, and here's to me."

It is well... Fuck you... And here's to me. It is definitely not fuck your toast. The others aren't toasting it would be your toast if you said it. Not their toast

Someone you'll know reasonably well Matty. Alex Wright (aka Wogg - always good for a laugh) stumbled through his wedding thankyous trying to read his notes without glasses. I felt sorry for him as he was making a big effort not being the greatest toastmaster. He then proudly put his papers down, asked everyone to charge their glasses and be upstanding:
"To Liz. It makes me very proud to be your wife!"
He claims to have made a 'quick' recovery: "I mean husband", but no-one could hear it over the laughter.
