Oh I'm not a beginner I just wanted to know what people like.

My faves are:

- Glengoyne 10
- Old Pulteney 12
- Dalwhinnie 15
- Springbank 10
- Scapa (But the old one I think they don't make anymore)

Not a fan of highly peated types or even excessively aged complex ones (which is good for keeping the price down), just like nice gentle easy drinking floral varieties.

I did try Dalwhinnie winters gold, which they say to put in the freezer. Weird but I think it works nice! Comes out thick like syrup and almost as sweet, then gradually changes as it warms.

As a list of beginner's first dram you're doing just fine. We'll get you on the Lagavulin for GE 2020.

My mum has voted for herself and for me by proxy (cause I moved to the US lol fml) so that's two votes for SNP in Dumfriesshire. It's been loving Mundell since 2005 and I would LOVE to kick that fucker to the curb finally.

Right, enough work for today. Not actually voted myself yet but off for a few hours of GOTV, then home for tea, quick trip up the polling station with my partner and then more GOTV in the evening.

Made the mistake of going back onto Facebook today. Most of my friends are Labour (the most handsome, cool, intelligent voters), but the comments are full of stupid cunts accusing them of being snowflakes or that we need more austerity and so on. Still, the media have been in anti-Labour overdrive for a while, I'm just surprised to see austerity apologists who have gently caress all and keep complaining they can't see a doctor or what have you.

Just keep engaging them on facebook until 10pm when they realise they've spent all day on facebook and have forgotten to vote.

I had lunch at Five Guys. The guy behind the counter gave me a free Freestyle, which was nice, although he said he doesn't vote because FPTP is a broken system. I pointed out that before it can change you have to vote for someone who will change it, but he's committed.

For my free drink I had Mezzo Mix Zero, because it's the most European thing they dispense.

A vote for Labour is a vote for Katie Hopkins spending the rest of her life traveling the US and appearing on right wing talk shows at the expense of Americans. Is that a price worth paying?

Hey Braggart I just had my few hours with that lad with autism and it went brilliantly, thank you for your advice (and anyone else who pitched in). Me and his carer stood at the back of the room while he wandered round the workshop with one of our engineers, chatting away and asking questions and, apparently, arranging for him to join an online D&D game. His carer said if you had asked him just this morning if he'd be capable of holding his own in a conversation with someone he doesn't know he'd have laughed at you, so this is a big success. Good distraction for a few hours!

Down came the glitches and burned us in ditches and we slept after eating our dead.
Does Britain do the American thing of intentionally understaffing polling centers to guarantee long lines to suppress the lefty vote (since conservatives are less likely to have jobs or other time constraints on their voting time, and more likely to enjoy queueing)?

Every time I see queues it makes me worried people are gonna not vote just to avoid the inconvenience of waiting.
