Today I acquired...........

Whisky comes from natural sources, 10 a day it is then

All things grain, hops, malt etc are part of a balanced diet, well it has been known to affect my balance.

 

[Cobbler]

I thought it was now 10 a day....

That's fags!

 

[Maker]

Nope.
Asda own brand £14/litre.
Plus 50% highfruit blackcurrant cordial.

Captain Morgan's spiced and Bacardi are both £16 A litre in Tesco at the moment depending which you prefer?

I've got spiced rum, lemonade and fresh squeezed orange juice



It called a Jamaican something, I used to know.

I have NEVER had a hangover.

I think I've told the story before:
I went to a BBQ and mentioned I'd never had a hangover.
The guests made it their mission to make sure I did.
I know there was 3 or 4 cans of stones bitter.
Rum.
Gin
Red wine
Brandy.
Whiskey.
Tequila.
Stella.
80% vodka.
And some other stuff (Malibu + Tia Maria)

All by the 4 cans/half bottle.

I was shutfaced by 8pm.



I woke up at 7am with a clear head and cooked a full English for everyone.
Not that they appreciated it.

They'd have been pumping my stomach after a quarter of that.......

It called a Jamaican something,

Dizzy water?

 

[Maker]

Dizzy water?

Just had a look, it's Jamaican Orange.

That site is great, you put in all the different booze you've got in your bar and it tells you what drinks you can make and what you should buy next to make more.

That's the trouble with you youngsters, no imagination of your own I remember making a bowl of punch on the same basis. It turned out pink [] and stained the lips and tongues of all who drank it - tasted OK though.

When I were a lad we ad to make do with equal measures of Carling and Taunton Natural Dry Cider (Natch) if we wanted a cocktail!
Snakebite!

Not today, but tonight.
I acquired a happy Mini Me.

I will explain.


Break down of this evening.

18:00 Mini Me Had a boyfriend.

To 18:00 I will not lie. I do not like Mini Me BF. I think he is a pampered kid. I make no bones I did not like him.


19:00 They both arrive home, he was demanding food. Not a wise move. Mini Me was telling him we are not a fast food joint.



19:15. I am in my play pen the soon to be ex lovers are enjoying a fire in the fire pit.



I am having a beer or two.



19:30 I hear raised voices "A lovers tiff” I think.

19:32 I hear the distinguish sound of a fire extinguisher being discharged.

“Oh my” I think. I sup the ale and bimble out. I see the cloud of a ABC powder extinguisher dispersing. I smile. I see Mini Me holding the can.



I think she called him a “Total Bar Steward” I taught Mini Me well. As the cloud disappears. I have shed wall covered in powder and a silhouette of him.



Now Mini Me cry’s: “we are done now duck cuff.” He legs it. I did open the door. I am not all that mean.



I hand Mini Me a 7 up. Other drinks are available.

It turns out he had made an “a unexpected advance”. Again.



Not a new story, not a funny story. But before I put the extinguishers out to be scraped I was cutting wood with an axe.

Nazi Germany made an unexpected advance towards the Soviet Union. Different circumstances, same result!

 

[Turbo]

The spiced rum from lidl is very nice, especially with coke.

 

[Turbo]

Today we had a very happy turbo.

As usual I was at my local weekly auction & I got lucky as the usual suspects who bid on the same items as me were not there so I got my stuff at a sensible price.

5 of 3.5m lengths of heavy gauge unistrut, attached to each was a 2m length of 1/2" galvanised pipe with a ball valve & air connector. There is 20mm electrical conduit running up the other side & attached to that were MK double sockets & switches.

The icing on the cake was a very expensive air filter/oiler unit that was on one of the drops.

I gave £50 for the lot which would barely buy half the electrical items.

There was also an as new air hose reel.

Got it for £34, new price £130! The threaded insert for the wall bracket has pulled out of the plastic casing, I replaced it with a bolt.

I now have nearly all the items for piping air around my garage, just need to find that box of round tuits hidden in a shed somewhere. Maybe I'll find them when I tidy out the sheds, if I ever get around to it....

Darn, its a vicious circle!!

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Also Stewarts Cream of the Barley "whisky" is also utterly repugnant stuff...then again its made from the finest of Dundee water.....BLECH paint stripper probably would be more palatable that crap, even half cut its undrinkable......think my dad tossed the rest down the sink it was so bad....no wonder it was on offer...you'd have to be blootered totally or have no taste buds to drink that stuff....

Aye, it's cheap for a reason, but some folk will drink anything they can get their hands on.

I admit to being a bit of a whisky 'snob' if that's the word to describe someone who only drinks single malts, the smokier and peatier the better - Lagavulin is my favourite and I drink so little I treat myself occasionally, but a bottle still lasts for quite a while.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Got given theses today. Nowt wrong.

Just bean sat in a damp shed for 10 years.

So a bit of de rusting dressing with a slip stone supping an ale and all will be good.

Now all I need to do is install TARDIS technology into work shop.

Looks like you could certainly use a sonic screwdriver.....

[Cobbler]

Is the filler neck big enough or positioned so you could drill a hole through the puncture, put a bolt through & fiddle a nut onto the inside? I tried sealing a plastic mower tank with Tiger Seal & that didn't work.
