Made two flavoured vodkas during covid; apricot and prune... the one made with prunes turned out much nicer. :kiddo:

edit: 60, the infinitely useful number... just let time & direction fly & spin through our weird little lives. :wtf:

Just mix Watermelon Monster with Vodka.

Alright here is your Kate update from the Crazy size of TikTok.

So apparently there was a lawyer/PR team around yesterday and the bbc has been put on notice for some kind of announcement soon. The word is that William got Rose Hanbury pregnant and that it could be a nervous breakdown.

Word is Rose hasn’t been seen either so this could be the soft launch of Rose.

The fibre content does not transfer into the alcohol, but as with any alcohol beverage some things can not be avoided if you drink to excess. :barf:

Though Guinness Shits are indeed a thing.

You probably want Soplica. They do a lot of different flavoured vodkas and gins and they're really nice. It's "only" 28% so you can drink it neat easily.

freezing it into a syrup is a pro move too

You can buy a kilo of fresh jalapeños right now btw for a tenner by the way. The crop just came in here in Yorkshire at our local chilli farm.

Let's face it, that story is more fun to tell in the years that came afterwards than if you'd drunk the watermelon vodka and probably just had a middlingly entertaining session.

Looking that up nothing else on the list bothers me, especially onion, garlic, bread and cheese I will eat all day.

I think it's probably psychological, I expect it to happen when I eat it so it does.

Vodka, midori and lemonade is a nice melon flavoured drink.

But also you can freeze chunks of watermelon and use them with rum and lime juice and a few other things and make watermelon daiquiri. I forget the recipe I have to look it up every time

ASK ME ABOUT BEING ALLERGIC TO POSITIVITY

I'm not sure if there's a full plumbing thread but this is a minor problem so I thought I'd ask here.

I have an heated towel rail in my bathroom that is leaking. It's a slow leak, just the occasional drip from what I can see. How do I fix it?



The leak is coming, from what I can tell, from the thick horizontal cylinder pointing into the center of the radiator.

This will be my first time doing any plumbing so step by step instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Not a plumber unfortunately: if that horizontal piece unscrews you might try some PTFE tape (plumbers tape) on the threads and screw it on again (apply tape in a clockwise direction).

edit: my limited knowledge doesn't cover domestic plumbing. :(

Valve thinhy looks suspiciously corroded. Tighten everything nutty. Put some paper towel down to maybe identify leak. Maybe the tightening fixes it. Otherwise maybe identifies leak and replace accordingly.

Also if you are going to dismantle your plumbing it would be advisible to turn off your water at the mains unless you want a permanent indoor water feature.

Also there will likely be water in the radiator so 1. turn off the heating and let it cool unless you want to boil yourself and 2. put a bucket under it because the water will drain out.

You'll probably have to drain down your central heating system before unscrewing anything though

Also yeah central heating is weird and needs to not have air in it after you mess with it so you might need to bleed all your radiators once you fix it.

To paraphrase the old saying, it's better to call them out and have them think you're incapable than attempt it and end up proving it (and have to call them everywhere) (and have loads of shitey water everywhere).

Even if it probably is just the outer bit of the valve and no more difficult than replacing the o ring on a tap, I'd rather not mess with radiator valves.
