WhatEvil posted:IDK if I can sum up what happens to you in your 30s and obviously it's not the same for everybody but one thing that's happened for me is that I've gone from hating folk music at the start of my 30s to thinking it loving slaps now in my late 30s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDhK_glbVmI I have complicated feeling about Steeleye Span. It seemed to be the only thing my dad liked back in the seventies, and I hated it with a passion, the harmonies put my teeth on edge. I appreciate it a bit more now, and I suppose I can, grudgingly, understand what he saw in it, but, eh, still not usually my cup of tea. But I can't argue with the message of songs like The Blackleg Miner.

forkboy84 posted:Eh, I dunno. Don't really see the issue with using a £30-£45 single malt in a cocktail if that takes your fancy. Like I can imagine the use of a Speyside or Highland malt in a cocktail. I just think Laphroaig in particular is very overpowering between the smoke and the iodiney seaweed. I've seen cocktails that used actual smoke as a garnish, I think you could do something interesting with Islay malts and that. I think the best cocktails I've tasted use good liquor; sure, if it's just something that's overwhelmingly sweet it would be a waste to make it with top shelf stuff, but why drink that anyway?

Very sad news indeed about twisto. Top poster, really was that guy in the pub who seemed to know absolutely everything. We'll miss him.

Dabir posted:The fact that it's basically useless information is a positive, in terms of using it to get a conversation going. It's a no-stakes subject, if they don't want to answer you haven't lost out on anything meaningful, but at the same time it's a bit more personal than "so how about this rain, eh? wet innit" and gives people an opportunity - which they can turn down - to open up and talk about their favourite subject: themselves. (inb4 owlfancier says "mine isn't".) Much better than demanding their current place of residence, method of transport and political leanings like you're some sort of walking census. It's boring as gently caress. I have a Scottish accent, but have lived in the US for close to 30 years. I have been putting up with that question or some variant of it for that long and my god I will think less of you if that's your initial conversational gambit. There is a universe of things that are grounded in the here and now or why it is you are in the same place at the same time and with a little bit of imagination you can talk about those.

Oh, I don’t mind a bit of rain. Made the road a wee bit slippy on the way in, mind.
