    The only time I’ve ever on buses is when I’m too drunk to really know where I am. So it’s probably me you’re ranting at.
    Sorry.

    Why do people buy Volkswagens? Are you buying into the adverts? Are all Volkswagens the same? By choosing a different colour are you trying to be an individual? I don’t understand why people would buy a VW. Are you trying to tell a story? You think you’re being individual but you’re not.

    So what piece of marketing expertise do you drive that makes you think you’re expressing your individuality?

    Are you saying with your PhD you still cannot make sense of my views?

    You’re an idiot.
    What you post on here is idiotic. It’s not worth the effort of reading, far less trying to understand, no matter how clever you think you’re being. I tried it once and it was moronic drivel.
    You’d understand that if you weren’t such an idiot.

    Well I do…just the answers are as inconclusive as any other question ever asked here on STW

    Sorry to do this then, but

    Stricter than Ryanair in my experience.

    Totally the opposite IME

    Same problem on an Aprillia RST Futura – just shorted out the switch. 3 wires to the switch? you might have that option.

    A couple of red flashing LEDS (cheap rear bike lights) mounted in the trees just inside the gates to the estate look like some form of movement sensor and at as a very cheap discouragement. On at dusk, off in the morning.

    You can do the PADI deep diver speciality course in Scapa Flow. For about the same amount of cash, you can fly to Malta, spend a week in a hotel, do the course and fly home.
    However the sums fall apart when, after watching an episode of Great Continental Railway Journeys, you decide to take the train home.

    also had lunch and dinner at Oban Fish and Chips (it’s further north up George St and not to be confused with George St Fish and Chips by west coast motors) which beat ee-Usk hands down. It has fantastic honest seafood and they don’t just do fish and chips.

    Fish and chips it was and they were awesome, sat at the waterfront watching the sun go down and not being harassed by gulls.

    Well according to latest reports Sinn Fein / ira are back on the
    Streets murdering/assassinating people at will…I do wonder what
    Fantasy land people like darsy and lynch inhabit
    Corbin/McDonnell have associated themselves/ sympathised with
    An organisation that waged a campaign of terror over the UK
    Murdering, bombing and mutilating innocent British citizens,
    The list is endless …. Birmingham pub bombings, Manchester bombings.. Etc
    Sinn Fein / Ira murdered and maimed indiscriminately
    And we now have a leader of the Labour Party that is sympathetic
    To the republican Irish scum that tried to blow us up?

    Capitals at the start of every line? that is some seriously crap poetry there, no rhymes, no metre and f*** all sense

    I realise that because you’ve said it, it’s now a fact in the jambaverse but hasn’t it been shown previously that this kind of figure is a gross overestimation?

    You do realise that, as a mini-me of thm, jamba is obligated to post at least one ludicrous fantasy per day and that that fantasy should be posted as unarguable fact?

    Sounds like you’ve had crap lobster as it’s not chewy if cooked right

    Sounds like overcooked. I’ve had razor clams I’ve caught myself and cooked, lovely. Had them in reputable seafood restaurants, like chewing a rubber.

    At least one Scottish distillery owns the forests and produces the barrels which they lease to the bourbon distillery (might be JD, can’t remember). This guarantees a supply of consistent barrels by the container load. IIRC the deal with most distilleries for barrels is “we’ll take the lot” and then sell on the ones they don’t want because demand is so high.

    You keep trying to push this agenda. Smear, smear and more smear. Tell me, are you actually able to make up your own mind based on reality or do you inhabit your own jambaverse where you suck in all the bullshit fed to you by the media you like and with whom you agree, and spew it back here expecting people to believe it?

    “No” would appear to be the answer to that

    the casks travel all over the country while maturing, whether they travel back home before bottling I wouldn’t know.

    rarely, very few distilleries have their own bottling facilities, Kilchoman’s the only one I can think of but happy to be corrected. Whisky at cask strength is shipped to bottling plant, watered down to 40 proof and bottled. same water for all whisky at same bottling plant.
    BTW kilchoman grow barley, malt it distill and bottle on a converted farm, pretty cool operation

    Molgrips,
    whisky is made in several stages – brewing to produce the alcohol, different strains of yeast and barley, and whether the barley was smoked and if so to what extent affect the final taste. distillation then produces the spirit, the shape of the still and spirit being reintroduced to the still (reflux) (I think the big thing here is how much copper the spirit is exposed to) . maturation then takes place in wooden barrels, some previously used to mature sherry (eg McAllan) others bourbon (eg Auchentoshan), sometimes it’s the first time the barrel’s been used, sometimes the the second, third or fourth. Sometimes the whisky is moved between barrels (Distillers editions) and sometimes a completely different type of barrel is used (Glenmorangie pioneer this sort of thing with things like Quinta Ruban (finished in port barrels) or LaSanta (Sauternes).

    Water isn’t that big a part of the flavour variations of the end product.

    Got a few bags and other things form Lomo. Top quality and excellent value. The 40L bag has been used for kayaking, taking dive stuff on boats and as a general holiday bag for years now. Looks a bit tatty but still going strong. There’s a 60L version as well

    Sometimes, on a Friday, my only companion during office hours is a puppet called ‘Eisel’

    He doesn’t say much.

    Oh yes he does, just not to you. I sometimes break into your office just to enjoy his witty banter.
