Talking about Whisky

[BBMmk2]

Oh Bbm, you big tease!

What whisky?

What price?



That's next term's project sorted out for Bbm - all these small boys bringing whisky bottles in their instrument cases to show Sir that it can be done.

"Preparation for orchestral life, laddie"

What a good idea! :)

Faced with the choice between £30 for a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black and £17 for a bottle of VAT 69 in an over-priced Turkish resort, parsimony got the better of me.

And what a lovely surprise! Nearly as smooth as JWBL!

On my second bottle (this week - I'm no Oliver Reed!).

I think Caliban pointed out that this brand was behind the bar in Fawlty Towers.

No that was you, Beefy...

IIRC, VAT 69 was behind the bar at Fawlty Towers.

This stuff is stronger than I thought!!

P.S. You're not pulling my leg, are you?

[MrGongGong]

Your box is full matey
now sober up will you

I thought you were on the Blue Label stuff anyway ?

Even I'm not stupid enough to pay the asking price for Blue Label!!

I'm sober

And I'm going to empty my box. Mailbox, of course

No no - click on the little arrows to the right of your name in the VAT69 quote, and you'll be transported back in time to the exchange... I replied with some lame comment involving Jeeves

Oh dear!

My excuse is that I was a teenager when Blake Seven, sorry, I mean, Fawlty Towers was broadcast.

I seem not to drink very much whisky from spring to end of summer, but more when the cooler climes of autumn come round. What do other boarders think?

Hi BBM, I tend to drink whisky in the cooler weather, more than in the summer. However, where I am at the moment, it's been between 34 - 39 degrees, but I've found the whisky has been going down a treat!

In the last few weeks it's been JWBL, JW Explorers Edition/spice Road and VAT 69

[Beef Oven!]

The local brew is good, too!

That last one is a great example of what Andrew McGregor of CD Review demonstrated as a less egocentric alternative to the 'selfie' - the 'drinkie' !!

If I get drunk enough, I may get egotistical and post a selfie!!

P.S. Lots of reasonably priced gaffs in this neck of the wood, I'll pass your details on to Mrs Oven if you're interested - just imagine having me as a neighbour - you like Hawkwind at 3.00am!

I'd assumed your avatar was a somewhat off-centre stab at a selfie!

Just looked you up on g-maps... very nice. I think I'd have to put a stretch of sea between you and Hawkwind, and me, Ralph, Gabriel and the lads, for acoustic damping purposes

TBF, even Hawkwind don't like Hawkwind at 3 in the morning.

Just as a reference point, how drunk will you need to be before posting a selfie ?

the nearest bottle of wine or quart of ale would do !!

(just having a sneaky mid afternoon grants and dry , as the dinner is mostly prepared !!)

Edit: Further question: what are the criteria for having details passed to Mrs Oven?
Just out of interest, Like

Further Edit: you can come home soon, the Proms are almost over......

(Nice looking DSCH 8 at the RFH in late September.....)
