  1. Try the quarter cask, its the same but a little more so being matured in a cask a qurter of the normal size; can you see where the name comes from? This gives a bigger interaction between the wood and the spirit, yadda yadda. And Laphroaig is officially a medicine (it was allowed into the states legally during prohibition due to is medicinal qualities) Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.
  2. From the UK but i dare say they can be found elsewhere (and they do ship international);http://www.nippazwithattitude.com/index.html Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.
  3. Tom Slick Yay (cut to crowd cheering); awesome and I've spent years trying to convince people that I haven't made him up, Sport Billy, Chorlton and the Wheelies ('ullo little ol' lady). Secret Squirrel Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.
  4. You're not wrong. Myself I'd probably go for 7/6/10 (I like intelligent women) but my 7 only applies when women aren't involved; when women are involved my intelligence drops significantly. How come we're all posting our own intelligence in the upper 30% though? Considering our affinity for jumping from great heights? Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.
  5. Thats the clever bit (and I use the term loosely...), they don't go high enough and they have the famous AGG (Artificial Gravity Generator; how come NASA haven't got one of them, huh? huh?) They did have a problem letting the contestants look at the projected image of the earth when they got into "space"; they had a moth loose in the studio and were concerned about projecting a 6ft shadow of it across Europe Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.
  6. http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/S/spacecadets/about/index.html Can't believe that this hasn't been posted yet. It's the latest idea to reward the lowest common denominator on tv. The idea being that if you are so gullible that you fail to see through the gag you walk away with the money. In short Channel 4 have set up a false space mission and trained up some volunteers to go on it (they had volunteered for a reality tv show but without knowing what it would be). Oh, and rewritten several laws of physics to fit. Funniest moments so far; the moving poem read out in Russian when they graduated the 3 week course; all about courage in the face of adversity. But translated quite well as a recipe for toad in the hole....And the mission motto. And the format has been sold Stateside as well. Guess there must be some gullible folks over there as well?

  7. got an ak-47 for his best friend business the american way. Now before this has its arse dragged over to SC this is not a socio-political commentary from the righthand side of the pond, I just like the line in the song Hijack over, back to u+your regularly scheduled programming; Star Wars also owes a big debt to Akira Kurosawa, in particular Hidden Fortress (but so do a lot of my favourite films) Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.
  8. If you like Hendricks look out for Blackwoods Shetland gin, small batch made with whatever local botanicals are kicking around the islands that season (sea pink, mint, etc). Real good drunk tall garnished with fresh mint. Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.
  9. If its a repost, tough. But it won't fit on my Weber... http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/getrecipe.zsp?id=67495 Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.
  10. that trick has been done before Am I the only one that now pictures him looking through a splintered door (a la Jack Nicholson)? Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.
  11. Lager tends to be fizzier and lighter. Ales vary from the lighter side of flat to richer, heavier, more bitter types of heavy. I personally prefer Ales, bitters, dark beers in general, finding lager too light, although it does go down well in summer. I guess a good analogy for the difference could be wine, with lagers being the whites and ales running the full gammut of reds from easy drinking syrah to heavy, rich chateau neufs and even port. As for bottles vs cans, I think a lot of it is do to with fashion, although a lot of the premium ales can be found as bottle conditioned. Don't know if you will find it over there but I would recommend Innes And Gunne oak aged ale (made in Scotland and aged in oak barrels, much the same as scotch; theres a likeness in the taste due to this).

  12. Some kind of pie filling. Dave; I kinda see the resemblance from your postings, have you ever got a cat down from a tree with small arms fire? Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.
  13. And no thanks to the Cook Shop, bstrds took my order almost a month ago for my dads present and only thought to tell me at the end of last week that it was not in stock and the maker had stopped production several months ago, so now I have no idea what to get him and have to traipse through town with every other bugger. I hate crowds. Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.
  14. Yeah, its a Gore membrane, more as a wind barrier than a water barrier (different composition of the fabric). Not real waterproof but makes a hell of a difference to the warmth of a fleece when out in the wind. As an alternate to Goretex, have a look at eVent fabric (sorry don't know who's using it over that side of the pond, Craghoppers use it in the UK, Lowe used to use it until they were told by Gore to stop). Its as waterproof but even more breathable. Softshells rock, but only if you're active; they are less waterproof, but more breathable by several orders of magnitude, the theory being that if you're pumping sweat hard the heat/vapour going out negates the water trying to get in (in a hard shell that vapour would be too much for the breathability of Gore, triplepoint, etc so you'ld end up soaked in sweat).

  15. Wolf Blass; his yellow label Cab'Sauv is usually very drinkable, as are most of his others. I find it nice to have a couple of glasses first thing in the morning (before I start on the scotch)... . . . . I work nights Experience is a series of non-fatal errors.
