Aye, it's results like that that are a massive part in making football the fascinating game it is.

It's about the context. Saying "Fuck's sake" or whatever I'm not bothered about at all but telling the ref to "Fuck off" as you often see the likes of Rooney do should be unacceptable / a straight red imo.

Rode a hell of a lot of winners

Fantastic

He looked about 70 about 40 years ago. RIP, love a bit of Dad's Army.

Coca Cola invented Xmas as well.

Btw, was at the Living North Fair at the weekend and picked up a couple of bottles of Allendale Pale Ale. Very nice. Not sure but Rehills probably do it.

There was a flat-Earther called Wolfy, Who was fond of espousing a theory, Confronted with proof, He hid from the truth, And kidded himself he was worldly

Atm, I've got a bottle of Lagavulin 16 y.o., a bottle of their Distiller's Edition, that 15 y.o. Glendronach and that's it. I probably buy one about every 1-2 months and if people ask what I want for Xmas / Birthdays I always just say a bottle of whisky.

Same vibe, aye

Wor lass gets stuck into my brandy enough so I'm quite pleased she's not a fan of whisky tbh. She likes the smell of some though, not the peated ones but the rich, sherried ones especially.

Love Arrabbiata like. Especially nice to have a taste of the Med on a cold winter's night. Having some of my homemade stuff tonight as it happens.

Redbreast is nice if we're talking about whiskey of the Irish persuasion btw. Sainsbury's do an 8 year old Taste the Difference Irish Malt which is very nice too. And I wouldn't say the standard Jura isn't a pleasant enough drink but it's just a bit meh imo. You should obviously just drink what you like though. Trying to be connoisseurial for the sake of it is plainly ridiculous and can lead to comparions between Special Brew and Trappist ales in the wrong hands There's a whole world of whisky out there for you to explore though, that's the beauty of it and, unlike e.g. Cognac, there is such a wide range of flavour profiles, which makes it such an interesting drink imo.

Ah right. Only time I've been in a Booth's was when I was in Windermere and all the branding of labels etc. looks like Waitrose's so I thought they must be the same company.

Half price? That's never normally £40 btw. I mean, it might be in Booth's (that's Waitrose isn't it?) but that's outrageous.

I could watch that all day

The USA represents about a 1/4 of global GDP. That's why it's important, whether people like it or not.

I bet they're not real. Still though...

USA is still the biggest single economy by far. Almost as big as the EC which is 27 countries and still twice the size of China's which has a far bigger population.

I don't think I've had a bad single malt but I think the normal 10 y.o. Jura is canny boring tbh. Not much to it at all. If you're going to pay £20 for it you might as well spend a touch more and get something much nicer. In fact, I'd rather have any of the blends I mentioned. Supersition's a bit more interesting, being a mix of an older unpeated malt and a young peated one. Bushmill's 10 y.o. Single Malt is a lovely drop though. Btw, I picked up a fantastic bargain for people who like Cognac. Sainsbury's do a Taste the Difference XO Cognac. It's £28 for a 500ml bottle in the shops but online it's £20.45. Sainsbury's were offering £12 off if you spent £60 on your first online shop so I got 3 bottles for just over £50 (inc postage) instead of the £84 you'd pay in the shop. It's absolutely lush as well.

You'd love America, CT. The portions are fucking huge.

Never had you down as a fan of the Wu like.
