Nope not going down that road.
All that riddling and disgorging.
Tried to make elderflower fizz.
To tech for me, or was then.

It's nothing more than a poor version of a French 75. Been drinking that as my Xmas morning tipple for donkeys years! :D :D :D

From memory.. That's...
50ml Dry Gin
10ml lemon juice
Teaspoon caster sugar
Topped up with Champagne

Hadn't thought of it that way.. So it's a cocktail in a bottle.

I see Mash has answered this but here's me been wondering for years what it has to do with brewing when we all know it's a Benny Hill joke....

Benny Hill?
A comedian seemingly much loved on other exclusive home distilling sites where the members are of a certain age. ;) ;)

Going well off topic here.
I recall that grave robbers dug his body up, looking for the jewelry that he wore in life.
And home distilling is considered illegal?
Life is about perspective. ::)

Look what you started....
I struggle with... it ok for a chap to be gay, but wolf whistling a pretty lass is considered bad taste.

I don't see why there should be a problem with either.

Perspective.
Grave robbing, not really a good thing.
Wolf whistling, normally done in public, and by it's nature intimidating, usually done by "butch" guys, en masse, at attractive females hence its tag.
The last time that I encountered predatory gay guys was in a gay club.
Territory can help put things into perspective.

The inside of your head seems like the inside of my fathers.
And no, I am straight.

Not having a go at yourself in particlar, just banging on at the world in general.
