what even is it?
OK, I shold have googled first. let me go and do that now.
OMG, the google images for wassailing :')
...
The tradition of wassailing (alt sp wasselling)[1] falls into two distinct categories: The House-Visiting wassail and the Orchard-Visiting wassail. The House-Visiting wassail, caroling by another name, is the practice of people going door-to-door singing Christmas carols. The Orchard-Visiting wassail refers to the ancient custom of visiting orchards in cider-producing regions of England, reciting incantations and singing to the trees to promote a good harvest for the coming year.

I assumed it was a fancy version of abseiling
I can't decide which I'd rather do.
I DON'T THINK IT'S A JOKE
IT HAPPENS TOMORROW
OH GIVE US SOME FIGGY PUDDING.
(wouldn't say no to some hot cider though.)
this is too much
Here's to thee, old apple tree,
That blooms well, bears well.
Hats full, caps full,
Three bushel bags full,
An' all under one tree.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
drinking cider and singing to trees
sounds like a lovely thing to do
Wrasslin?
YULE GOAT!
Apple tree, apple tree, we all come to wassail thee,
Bear this year and next year to bloom and to blow,
Hat fulls, cap fulls, three cornered sack fills,
Hip, Hip, Hip, hurrah,
Holler biys, holler hurrah.
oh my days

my word
now these are some people to whom i would very much like to ask the question:
why focus on the misogyny prevalent in rap/hip-hop?
Wonder how much you have to pay for toast on one of these wassailing jaunts
I'd hate to be hyg right now
he has to spend time consider how he's going to respond to this.

Full disclosure:
The Wassailing event is actually taking place at a pop-up cocktail bar which utilises the plants of the Brunel Museum's garden in Rotherhithe to make its drinks:

Time to move out of London
everybody out
===================
that excuses nothing
Midnight apothecary - shuts at 10:30pm
Don't get your hampton caught
What's a hampton?
do you reckon you'll be moved enough to write a poem about it?
You're thinking of a different LME berk
Jane Deakin?
Under the shimm'ring light of a Thameside moon,
The Wassailer's gather round to toast the tree.
Our voices raise in joy throughout the gloom,
"Bring forth thine apples; sweet bough, we sing of thee!"
A hundred ruddy cheeks glow in the fire -
Our artisanal cocktails make us cheer.
And Brunel's mighty tunnel of desire
Throbs below, makes our tummies feel all queer.
But what is this strange odour I can sense?
Coming from my glass, above the fire's smoke?
My scarf around my mouth in self defence,
I fear that this must be some sick'ning joke.
Can there be any greater shame that this:
Mulled cider, mixed with cruel bedwetters' piss.
i keep coming back to this thread
To LoL hard at it (sorry h_y_g).
woaahhh hold up
MATTHEW MCCONNAUGHEY. BEST ACTOR.
(never seen any of these. Never heard of most of them :/ will probably watch a third of them when they get onto netflix in 2017.)
i fear this may be in the wrong thread.
no, no, it may as well go here
i wanna do this
I thought he was going to the wrasslin'
HAAHAHAHAAH
Oh god, i've actually done this, but it was in deepest, darkest, rural Norfolk
We didn't pay £5 to sit in a cocktail bar
Now listen up buddy:
It's an OUTDOOR cocktail bar.
So, how was it then?
