Rum? Next?

We used to take it ready mixed on a night out years ago !

Wasn't there a song 'Rum and Coca-Cola'?

Yes Mike, I remember it.. Some Caribbean rhythm with that repetitive phrase as a refrain..

just heard it on YouTube - much earlier than I would have thought - a version by the Andrew Sisters from 1944 and the word calypso appears in the refrain, again much earlier than I would have thought. They sing it in an attempted Jamaican accent - doesn't really suit them

I just saw this and noticed that I had started a thread in Cookery. I couldn't figure out what it might be.

a proper admin would have transferred it to jokes....perhaps

Job for a moderator not an admin and the discussion on that concluded we wouldn't have any.
