When I used to drink a lot of peated whisky I got to a stage where I really could taste other stuff in it. Earl Grey tea, vanilla, caramel, etc. - I felt like a posh person. Laphroaig was a bit much, Laphroaig Quarter Cask you could smell across the room though. My favourite was Caol Isla and I bought a bottle of 15 year old cask strength when I was in Edinburgh for my wedding in October as a kind of wedding present to myself. It is gorgeous. I can't really be bothered with un-peated whisky, it just seems flat and dull now. cat botherer posted:but I'm not just like one note MAX PEAT/MAX BITTERNESS anymore. But they're so different. Laphroaig is nothing like Lagavulin is nothing like Caol Isla is nothing like Talisker is nothing like Bowmore. Surely there's way more difference between any of them than there is between a Macallan and a Balvenie. Oh and if any of you are into whisky, I can't recommend the touring whisky festival enough. As much as you can drink, it always ends up really good value for money. Sir Sidney Poitier fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Dec 1, 2022 |

Also a lot of the first whisky that people try is a loving poo poo blended one because it's cheap. There'd be more people who drink whisky were it not for having tried Bell's to see if they liked it and drawing conclusions based on that.

I took a shirt to get some alterations done by someone local. I commented that her prices were good and she could get away with charging more. "Yeah but if I charge more I'd have to pay more tax, and I don't want my money going to people on benefits".

Unkempt posted:I only bother to torrent stuff when it isn't on one of the many putlockers that are easily googlable. Fun fact, I used to build the servers for Putlocker more than a decade ago, when I worked for their DC provider. They were the dodgiest business I'd ever come across, paying something like $800,000/month via paypal, on a month-to-month contract. One day FACT arranged a meeting with my employer and I was instructed to lie and say I knew nothing about Putlocker.

Looked her up on wikipedia, came across this:quote:In December 2021, a wealth manager of Indian heritage accused Mone of sending racist text messages to him after the two were involved in a 2019 yachting incident in Monaco, which resulted in the death of a person. He said that Mone called him "a waste of a man's white skin" via text.[64] Couldn't have happened to a lovelier person. quote:A spokesperson for Mone said she was not racist because "Baroness Mone and her husband have built over 15 schools in Africa in the past three years"; Smooth.

Isn't "getting carried away" one of the things you want to hear least about a chancellor of the exchequer? Like if you heard that a surgeon had been "freestyling it".

You guys are so worried about the implications of this law, there's one easy solution - under-fund the police that they never bother doing anything about it. Also they're too busy arresting people for the crime of being in London and black.

There's this one weird trick involving tealights and plant pots that Big Heating doesn't want you to know... This is my first winter in a detached house as opposed to a maisonette and I didn't realise how cold it would be downstairs regardless of what the heating is set to.

It's so incredibly shortsighted an approach. It's like if I sat back for one project at work I imagine I'd get away with it, folks might excuse it or think of it as varying performance - but in doing so I spend a bit of goodwill. Make a habit of it and folks won't continue to excuse it, they'll just think I'm poo poo at my job. As is happening with so many things now, due to government/organisations thinking they can cut corners and keep getting away with it.

I have enough stuff running in my study that I don't have the radiator turned on. The bill is consequently high. I put bread dough on top of my quarter rack to proof.

It's a loving film for god's sake. That's like telling me not to watch Geordie Shore because it relies on housing a load of loving idiots together, plying them with alcohol, and waiting for them to embarrass themselves. I'm still going to watch it. Well not for the last few series, but believe me I watched plenty.

If there were religious leaders like that, maybe I'd be a believer. Also, my dog is called Bear and he definitely shits in the woods. In the bushes, where no one walks, so I don't have to pick it up. Good boy.

It's on the same level as walking back to your parked car, finding a big dent in it, and a note under your wiper that says "sorry I hit your car, I'm just writing this because people are watching, bye".
