kaiston Re: Help! Does anybody know...??? 02.08.02, 14:03 The expression is "to work up the bottle". What it means is to get enough courage to do something. Not to be scared in order to do something. For example, If I had to jump out of an aeroplane, I would have to work up my bottle to jump. OK? :-))))) Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

I found it in a one of Welsh's books and suspected it would be something in the taste, but I had to be completely sure. Thanks again. BTW - where did you find it? Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
