Horlicks

Postby Foxy » Sat Jul 21, 2018 3:15 pm

When I make a Horlicks I always follow these simple instructions

"Peel off the seal. Open the pack by screwing the lid to the right. Spoon 1-2 heaped teaspoons (25g) of Horlicks into your mug. Mix to a smooth paste with a little water, then pour in 200ml (1/3pt) of hot milk, stir well"

This ensures that I enjoy its unique malty taste every single time.

So I don't understand why Martin Shaw always says that a player has "made a Horlicks out of that".

Does he simply mean "he's bollocksed that up", as making Horlicks isn't very difficult to begin with?

Marty Shaw's probably got stags kiosk staff messing up simple tasks in mind. Having said that I know he prefers a good red wine and a burger king whopper over the kiosks

Doesn't the term "Horlicks" that Martin uses come from one of their advertising campaigns?
The TV adverts basically had people making cock-ups of certain situations, then saying "Horlicks" as a replacement for "ball hocks"
