    Seems to be the general consensus.

    Can't get enough of the stuff meself. Put away 7 of them last night. Just a shame it's only 4.5%

    Very nice if you prefer a dry cider. I enjoyed the change from sweet.

    A couple of days ago, Oslo airport. This is what a 12 quid pint looks like.



    To add insult to injury, Oslo has started charging for the plastic carrier bags to put your duty free in. I'm all for saving the environment but that is just blatant profiteering. Who has their 'bag for life' when travelling?

    I have seen lots of unfortunates whilst sat there in the airport - looking around at some of the bags its life affirming.

    Will be back on the Ya Dong by this time next week.

    To be fair he probably bought a cheap grog as the family will demolish it on the first night home, smothering it in ice, water and tonic
    Which to be fair to the Thais Bowmore deserves.

    This was on offer, the 15 years was double the price, and tbh is wasted on me. All the others were a big step up, I just tend to guzzle and this bottle will last a couple of nights and then back to sharing the gardener's Ya Dong. I'm trying to stop drinking anyway.

    Never mind the Hi-So snobs Mendy. One of them sports a stained Chang vest that doubles as a family tent.

    ^ Naah... we've sorted that out now! You have a good memory (but it wasn't his toes).

    I've been away a month and only back a day, but have noticed a change. Both of the young boys seem to have stopped lying on their backs. I guess things just sort themselves out in the end.

    ^^ You're supposed to pinch the beer mat after you finish drinking.

    I acquired a genuine Leo beer glass in Bangkok last weekend and was eager to try it out. Meant breaking my new 'no drink on weekdays rule', but rules can be broken for special occasions.

    Honestly those are just numbers manufactured by people to sell you drugs. Has nothing to do with alcohol consumption....

    Drink up but for gods sake will ya drink some respectful liquor...You ought to be ashamed of yourself posting up a picture of Bowmore. Might as well drink warm Monte Claire in a box like LuLu.....

    Winery Tasting Notes

    The bouquet exhibits fresh strawberry, red guava and apple.
    This refined Sparkling displays, strawberry, lemon and white cherry flavours, which are enhanced by subtle brioche autolysis characters from the secondary fermentation.
    The wine shows a fine bead, lively mousse and tight crisp finish.
    Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago ...

    Well, that didn't take long.

    I've only been home for four days and have gone from sipping malt (albeit much maligned) from my fancy whisky glasses to swigging the gardener's very red looking Hong Thong straight from the bottle. Looks like I'm back on Baldrick's Ya Dong again!
