it’s pretty good, not got the complexity of the islay malts or the peatiness but certainly very drinkable and nice in that it’s a little different.

I’m not a fan of Jura either, a bit to medicinal for me. Also our stay on Jura was pretty miserable!

The pub we are spending Hogmonay in has a collection of over 140 islay malts varying form normal to astronomical prices. I plan to sample one really expensive one to see if my naive pallet can tell the difference.

Bruicladdich made me quite ill last time we toured in Scotland, not through excess either. Mind you the midgies had caused me to lose a good 90% of blood on Colonsay so that may have been a factor

yes you are right

Luckily I shall be spending Hogmonay on Islay so it shouldn’t be a problem :lol:

hmm

in our collection we have

Highland park 12 and 18 (these are my hip flask whiskies)
Kilchoman 2009 Autumn release (this is a keeper)
The Yamazaki 10
Cragganmore 12
Caol Ila 12
Laphroaig Quarter Cask
Bowmore
Talisker 10
Macallan cask strength 10 (dangerous stuff)
Penderyn Peated

any suggestions as to where to go next with the collection? should get an idea of our tastes from the above.

bells is not to my taste but there’s nowt wrong with good blended whisky. The vast majority of the production from most of the big ‘single malt’ distilleries is sold to make the more robust blends.

champagne is after all a blend of wines and it’s pretty damned expensive….

whisky mack is the way ahead for you.

i’m typing this sat next to our whisky collection…..it’s a little early in the day……i shouldn’t really :cry:

what emma82 says

get a voucher for a nice lingerie shop that will do the fitting and make her feel special

more seriously, it could well be a badger, the pad tends to be wide like that.

if my memory serves me correctly the rear print in narrower and the toes from more of an arch, most badgers have front and rear legs so have a look around!

actually, on closer inspection you can put non web based mail services (POP3 etc) to put emails into a web based folder. IE i could put the emails from my self hosted email address and my ukonline address into my hotmail folder. Won’t work the other way round though

baby robin

as hoops says you can’t do this with MAPI services like hotmail, they need their own data file i think

you can choose a destination folder for each email account in account settings. You simply choose the same folder

I found this website to be pretty good when we were up there in the summer

shorts all year if i can, black trousers and a black company shirt when i can’t.

I don’t technically work in an office though…..

if the client requests ‘smart’ then i change my shoes to slightly less scruffy ones. Sometimes i even shave.

yeah, the switch is more of a negative head problem although it was more reliable before it started getting really noisy

See if Mr Smoke can get you a deal on a Knolly?

mmmmmmm Delerium

or the Brittania?

many a happy hour spent carting flipcharts and OHPs around both of them in my early days in AV

:wink:

just north of Cov and we only have a couple of inches of snow

as to whether you shoulg travel there, no matter how the journey goes the destination will be awful

perhaps Lisa I’anson got carried away after Norman Cook (allegedly) gave her a bottle of liquid acid in Ibiza when she dissapeared for a couple of days and got sacked from Radio 1

In fact all of those 3 women a day must have imbibed some form of narcotic, even the temptation of fame can’t have been enough to tempt them to do the dirty with an ugly talentless duracell like Hucknel

Pity he didn’t issue an apology for all that awful music as well.

I loved the Chinese’ take on letting their small child have a pee.

1. Drop child’s trousers no matter where you are
2. Hold child at arms length facing away from you
3. Wait for evacuation to complete
4. Pull up trousers

i never saw the roads of Beijing quiet enough for that to happen.

There seemed to be some kind of mystical power keeping all the road users and pedestrians apart

now Nigeria on the other hand….. 8O

his son played a cameo on stage with Broken Social Scene at Koko in camden a couple of weeks ago, and the man himself did the same at their leeds gig

should have gone to leeds really :(

it’s too cold for octopron

now cummon Drac, there’s no need to abandon your heritage over a slight chill.

Just get into more fights to keep warm

rubbish video[/url]

Can’t link it here as the Video button doesn’t like Flickr videos

just uploading a video of my rip round our local 16 mile CX route, it’s only really rideable when frozen or verr very dry, I’ve ridden it twice this week , once on mtb at night and once on the CX during the day. Much more fun at night and the first time I’ve used my new lights.

fun fun fun

video (crap) to follow, it’s nowt exciting but kind of captures the mood

seen it loads of times but it still makes me smile

we used one in France on our tour this year

works well if you have good sunlight, not so well without. We carried the mains adapter as well which with the adapters means you can charge your phone/gps etc. or the backup battery in cafes and the like.

It’s also not as waterproof as it makes out, the battery filled with water in a downpour but once dried out still appears to work for now

going to see the tour next year

the olympia show last week was apparently incredible

a waterproof softshell and some more whisky, lots more whisky (as if 10 bottles isn’t enough)

i work in shorts all year, it’s a standing jokes amongst my colleagues

on saturday however, i resorted to trousers and long johns for a long day at the NEC arena, even up in the roof where it’s normally far too warm it was bleeding baltic

go in armed with the correct part number and be prepared to wait, they aren’t the quickest

my old man swears by Avon Ranger Ice or plain old Ranger AT

1st gear in an auto will be too high to be of much use even if selected manually i reckon

actually it’s Post-mortem

and they mean the same thing, one is of Latin and one of Greek origin

not got to gloves stage yet, 2 fleeces and a scarf and hat so far. Can’t sort through a years worth of receipts wearing gloves although perhaps that’d be a good thing….
