Never fear old Larry is here Harry. Im going to get well stocked shortly, Im going retire in July Im not renewing my class one , Anyway all this red tape is beyond me so I will just have to be content & sit back look at TNUK & of course savour my fave Malts & Enjoy my Oysters & Red meat, Plus the Rioja Wine too, Thers also other things I would love to enjoy but alas Im to ■■■■■■■ old, Regards Larry.
Following on from Mr Bewick rather disturbing post about measuring malts I have issued a new order for the “below stairs staff”. In future Gin WILL be measured out with a maximum evening allowance in force. ■■■■ woman drink the stuff like water, she thinks when she buys a bottle that it’s like milk and it goes “off” if not consumed quickly. I am Indebted to the aforementioned Mr Bewick for the suggestion.

hiya,
Indebted indeed to our Mr Bewick, my ghast is flabbered the fellow has nigh
gotten Larry and myself tee-total, we don’t measure into a glass we slosh it
into a glass with eyes closed so to make sure of a goodly measure, pub sized
drinks are only for learners, give the “good lady” the freedom of the drinks
thing and follow her example but of course your good self imbibing of single
malt, and lets have no more silly talk about measure’s there’s a good chap.
thanks harry, long retired.
Mr Bewick started talking about measuring, I haven’t slept since, I’m trying to recover from the shock. 
Hell, I’ve never measured whisky into a glass in my life.

hiya,
Well GOM it isn’t strictly true about the not measuring I do sort of measure
I like to try and gauge it to just below the rim of the glass otherwise there
is a possibility of spillage and that would be waste and unforgivable, after
all it isn’t journey work twixt easy chair and drinks thingy when a top-up
is required.
thanks harry, long retired.
Deleted, just a bit confused.
Your post re spilling from pouring to chair is fair comment Mr Gill, that’s just common sense.
are you slow on the uptake harry ? put the bottle beside the chair in easy reach , problem solved . if the lady of the house complains its unsightly ask her to knit you a bottle cosy . cheers , dave

hiya,
Bloody Hell Riggers you’re even more bone idle than me, I was thinking
of affixing a baby’s bottle teat to the single malt bottle but the missus
put the block on that saying she wasn’t prepared to start looking after
another bairn when she’s managed to unload the brood we’ve got.
thanks harry, long retired.
I usually measure my whisky in a 20% mix with water, helps take the taste of the alcohol away and it lasts longer as well. Clever eh? 
Pete.

The Hydrant is a hydration system with drinking tube. Hang, hook or clip your bottle almost anywhere — attach the drinking tube and enjoy convenient, hands-free hydration wherever you are.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
WATER WATER, that’s talking dirty Pete the only thing you should put in a
single malt is another single malt , water’s OK for washing your feet in.

hiya,
Dave just wondering can your system be adapted to intravenous usage it
would allow me to buy my single malt by the barrel thereby cutting out
trips to the supermarket and also a possible saving due to bulk buying.
