   You should have asked the question! Mind you I can predict, with confidence, that those with smarter wits than mine will be posting their thoughts here on the Blog in due course ;-)
   Go on, go on, go on........

   My goodness! Do you have an answer to that question, Eddie?

   I'd go for that good old Hungarian pick me up known as Bulls Blood.

   You didn't have Michael Howard on the panel, by any chance????

   Personally I would drink my own. It is called re-cycling; something of which I am a great fan*. Also, if there were any infectious diseases in the blood, I would already have them.

   *P. S. I did change the syntax of that sentance as ValP is around ;-)

   A young vampire bat came flapping in from the night, covered in fresh blood and perched himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep.
   
   Before long, all the other bats smelled the blood and began hassling him about where he got it. He was tired and needing a rest, so he told them to please leave him alone. However, it was clear that he wasn't going to get any sleep until he satisfied their curiosity.

   "OK!" he said with exasperation, "follow me," and he flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats following close behind him.

   Down through Blog valley they went, across the river and into the deep forest. Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly gathered around him.

   "Do you see that tree over there?" he asked.

   "Yes, yes, yes!" the bats all screamed in a frenzy.

   "Good," said the young bat, "Because I ** DIDN'T!"

   Eddie - I think I'd drink a taxi driver's blood, I only need something that'll get me from A to B to O+....

   QotBfkaBS - Bull's Blood is not so much a pick-me-up as a fall-you-down!

   Personally speaking I'd opt for Fifi's blood as the alcohol content is likely to match a good red wine!

   I’ll be off now – quickly.

   First grammar schools and now this? Is Michael Howard being rehabilitated.

   I think I'd take a long glass of Mary's blood, with some Worcestershire Sauce and a nice stick of celery ;)

   great question though - shame you held it back.

   And what about you, Eddie?

    RJD: First it picks you up, then it trips you up. It's the bit in between that's fun.

    QotBfkaBS - Many, many, many years ago my first ever drink of red wine was Bull's Blood. Not a happy memory!

    RJD: Hm. But just how much did you imbibe?

    QotBfkaBS - Taking the bull itself as a measure, I would guess about a full hind quarter!

    RJD: Good Heavens! No surprises then. Next time, use the hock as a useful measure. ;o)

    Humph - ah, you never know when I'm around!

    Our local health-food-shop were advertising "vegetarian wines" once, and for a bit of a wind-up I asked the nice young lady behind the counter "I thought wine was mostly made of grapes: what would be a NON-vegetarian wine?" Quick as a wink, she came back with "Bulls' Blood".

    Vegetarian wine - that's nothing. Today I looked at the label on a pineapple I'd just bought. It said -wait for it- "Suitable for vegetarians" - I kid you not. Well thank goodness they told me, that's all I can say. I was about to serve it as the meat course at dinner.

    Annasee - rofl! I noticed the same message on my toothpaste tube last night and wondered what it is manufacturers might add to toothpaste that would make it unsuitable? By the time I'd finished musing, the battery had run out in my toothbrush and I'd only brushed the outsides!
