I have an overly sensitive sense of smell/taste so spirits is the ethanol equivalent to forgetting to pour water in your fruit squash. But alcohol burnssssss. I think I mentioned before about the time I was handed a whisky to do a sync shot and it was only as I was in the process of swallowing that my brain went "hang on this shot glass is freshly-dishwashed hot" If normal shots feel like burning, let me tell you about hot ethanol...

TACD posted:gin is bad and it’s been trendy for far too long TACD posted:whiskey supremacy You might be happy to hear that nearly all new gin distillers agree with you, and they talk about gin being a stop-gap to keep the lights on while the superior liquid ages. (They don't outright say or even strongly imply that gin sucks; but you can read between the lines here.) The rest are boutique distilleries which could not realistically have made anything else, and so it's not a loss.

i like all berries tbqh but grocery store berries are rarely the best showing for any of them we keep a 2.25kg box of frozen ‘wild’ blueberries on hand at all times tho as for gin, i do enjoy it occasionally. i’m not much of a cocktail person tho so if cocktails are happening i’ll do gin, soda, and lime. i prefer bourbon tho and mostly just drink beer mediaphage fucked around with this message at 12:00 on Nov 29, 2023 |

Blackberries are pretty lit and there is probably a massive bush within walking distance no matter where you are. I take a couple of large tubs and load up the freezer when they're in season.

The first time I used a gender-neutral bathroom was odd. Because the signs on both had a male and a female symbol together, whereas I wanted the one with urinals (and just the one that used to be the mens' room had those). Then when some ladies came in while I was using one of the said urinals, my first reaction was 'Oh sh**, am I using the womens' urinals?' But I got over it! Now it's pretty normal. And it means you don't have to wait, holding it in, if all the stalls in one are full but in the other empty. Given the outrage over 'mixed wards', I don't expect this will spread to England anytime soon. Bright Bart fucked around with this message at 12:46 on Nov 29, 2023 |

Stereo in Glasgow has the best gender neutral bathroom setup I've seen, with fully enclosed cubicles containing toilet, sink, hand dryer, handrails for mobility. It felt weird when it first opened like 15 years ago, and did freak out my mum a bit when I took her there, but on the whole 5 star toilet experience.

I was at the lesbian bar down in Birmingham and it had a womens toilet and an everyone toilet, the latter of which would be a mens toilet but, hey, it's a lesbian bar so share the load. I went to take a piss at a urinal and as I was going a conga line of women came in and danced past me and out the other door. Very odd experience but fun nonetheless.

Tesseraction posted:Very odd experience but fun nonetheless. It's even odds that becomes the new norm, and I don't mind. One large building I was in only had these gender-neutral multi-occupancy bathrooms. There was one single-occupancy bathroom for parents changing diapers and women by themselves who wanted privacy, up on the top floor. One time as I was leaving a woman, who had been standing outside, asked me if there might be a bathroom for women only. I told her that there is, on the top floor. She literally said 'gently caress it' and went into the mixed-gender one. Also, I like the tag in your awatar. Because I choose to interpret this as there being Day Tories, who have no shame, and Night Tories who only vote Conservative but never revealing their hand.

I went to a gay bar (99% men) with some gay male friends in Camden somewhere down a dark alley once and there was one stall and there were shoe prints all over the seat. I can only guess. It wasn't the Black Cap which was fun. It was either called something like salmon & cucumber? or near somewhere called that? 1990s anyway.

I don't think I've tried Irish Whiskey, all I know is that accoring to Jimmy (acab) McNulty, Bushmills is a Protestant Whiskey wheras Jameson is Catholic.

Which is amusing because John Jameson was a Scottish Presbyterian who didn't much care for Catholics and was given a distillery in Ireland for failson reasons, whereas Bushmills has half a dozen founding stories but probably in its modern form dates back to Irish spirits merchant Patrick Corrigan. Both are owned by large multinational distillers now though, so whatever story sells.

Jameson isn't especially peaty, compared to any Scottish whiskey. Writers Tears and Middleton's Green Spot are the daily drivers of choice tho
