hiya,
That’s very charitable of you Riggers I’ll try and “partly” emulate your thinking,
just think good buddy between us we could save the world.

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? :wink:

Pete.

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.
thanks harry, long retired.

Single Malt, SINGLE MALT!!! :open_mouth: Bloomin heck Harry, I ain’t a rich pensioner yet you know, Sainsburys blended has to suffice here lad. Only another two years and then I too will be able to afford those luxuries, assuming that there is anyone still at work to help fund my pension of course? :frowning:
Pete.

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.

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,
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.
thanks harry, long retired.

1000 ml container Harry with a tube that can’t leak and is very efficient.
Cheers Dave.

It’s a wonder you lot of malt drinking layabouts, :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: don’t use it as aftershave and to clean your teeth, most likely you put a drop in your porridge, stew, and curry’s. :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :wink: :wink: :wink: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

hiya,
No way is single malt to be diluted, in food, against the skin as aftershave
and using for teeth cleaning would be an horrific thought the only way it
should get near the gnashers is when it’s leaving the glass heading for the
throat, you want to try it sometime Norm, just remember no additives.

:open_mouth: :open_mouth: Merde and Scare Bleu etc, no no Mr Windrush, no, a thousand times NO The only thing you put in whisky is MORE whisky.
I’m shocked that such an astute forum member as yourself could suggest such a thing.

Anyway, just back from Le Continent and pleasantly re stocked. A few litres of Grouse (2 litres for £27) and a drop of Laphroaig (I DO like Islay stuff). I was going to plunge on a litre of Ardbeg but you know who got the hump when she saw the price, £58 a litre. I could see her point, it’s good stuff but not £58 a litre good, us poor pensioners have got to watch the pennies. :stuck_out_tongue:
Oh, and diesel is a pound a gallon cheaper at the truck stop that I use. :wink:
When I come to power first job will be to make malt whisky available on prescription, free to over 60’s.

Quite right Harry, Single Malts should only be consumed as it comes out of the bottle or crystal glass decanter, Water is only for washing the MTS out, Regards Larry.

My mother-in-law who was housekeeping for a priest always put a drop of Irish whiskey in her stews, but once he said it affected his driving, but she had the quarterbottle slip slip out of her hand into the caldron. :slight_smile:
