Pernod (pronounced per-no) is basically to explain it quickly, absinthe but without the wormwood in it. Lot's of people think that absinthe (with wormwood) is banned in the uk like many other places, but it isn't. But pernod is the version of it that can be sold pretty much everywhere and so became the cheaper, non-hallucinogenic version of it. I was once kindly donated some "real" absinthe by a friend, which turned out to be for their own amusement. I remember nothing of the night but apparently made great friends with a fence and a garden gnome.

2025-07-20 16:14:12 +0000 UTCAbsinthe is indeed bright green, and also tends to be extremely potent, like 150% proof potent...hence why I believe it was banned in France for the majority of the 20th century. What Richie was drinking was Pernod (supposed to be pronounced "Pern-oh"). It's also an aniseed based liqueur (think a more herbal version of ouzo or sambuca), and you certainly wouldn't want to down a pint of it!

2025-07-20 16:13:08 +0000 UTCThis has probably been mentioned before but Rik, Ade and Chris Ryan (Hedgehog) were in The Young Ones which was an awesome and wacky British sitcom that came out in the early 80s. Its very, very good. You'd love it.

2025-07-17 20:42:50 +0000 UTCChristopher Ryan starred alongside Rik and Ade in one of their early major shows, The Young Ones, in the early 80s, also starring Nigel Planer and Alexei Sayle. Well worth checking out to see the boys in their youth and it’s just as raucous as Bottom.

2025-07-14 01:32:19 +0000 UTCAbsinthe the little green fairy….and a big messer of sobriety! A frequently used “punishment shot” in younger days for birthday drinks! Always a preference over the nightmare that was Aftershock!
