I assume you know all this stuff....but well....gotta say with you Armstrong, I do have to wonder.Quote:

Not entirely true. Most people never or seldom touch their smartphone lens and the newer ones actually notify you that your lens could have something on it that will impact the picture. I am not sure how old or what phone DW has, but its all about setting options which many do not go in and adjust, they use it out of the box. For me personally the picture is fine because I suspect its the lighting and its over exposed a bit. I have seen other pictures he has posted at night and they are very clear.Quote:

This Rye is pretty stout and has a long taste at 110 proof. First time trying it. Great nose and you can really taste the rye and caramel notes.
That is a new one for men. As I enjoy my ryes, I may have to look into that one.Quote:

I had a few hours to kill on Tuesday after arriving in Stavanger early afternoon, and not due to join the vessel until the following morning.
When I caught up with an old work colleague in Great Yarmouth a few weeks ago he gave me this little purse thing, saying that he wouldn't need it as he'd never be going back to Norway. I opened it up... result!
That's about 22 quid in real money, for some unfathomable reason the Norwegian Krone is doing worse than Sterling at the moment.

I also had a 100 NOK voucher from the Stavanger Airport Scandic Hotel.
https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...9&d=1722961227
I used to regularly work onshore in Norway and was at the top level of the Scandic Hotels loyalty programme... when they gave me a 150 NOK voucher every day I stayed. Thanks to Brexit, that work ended and I'm now gradually sliding down the loyalty tiers and only get 100 NOK per day... thanks Brexit, another 50 NOK a day cost to add to everything else.
But anyway, this voucher needed spending. The company encourages people to use the vouchers on food but it makes more sense to me to use them for alcohol and put food on expenses, and there's no point in taking NOK back to Thailand...
https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?...1&d=1722961267
I thoroughly enjoyed this Kronenbourg Blanc. I have no idea what the flavour is but it's very nice. I had a few at the bar... and at 163 NOK (12 quid) each, my voucher and cash lasted less than half an hour.
I picked up some dinner to take back to my room... at another 257 NOK... yes, 19 quid for a stale salad, a panini thing and a bag of crisps. No wonder Norwegians constantly look unhappy.

I also took another Kronenbourg Blanc back to my room to have with dinner... there's a chopper flying in over my pint, bringing home a crew of workers after finishing their offshore trip.

The MiG-23 Flogger was a variable sweep fighter bomber that began production when I was in nappies.
Russia still has hundreds in reserve although they are moth-balled and have not been used in Ukraine.
This one looks a bit drab in its matt paint but I can szhoozh it up a bit with a silk varnish spray coating.
I believe it's a shadow of its former self nowadays.Quote:

The Mitsubishi Ki-21 twin engine heavy bomber and the Kawasaki Ki-45 twin engine medium bomber were both used to bomb Australia during the war although the brown Betty light bomber above was more common in this role.
I am not sure what is more impressive, the miniature canopy paintwork on the nip bombers or Svetlana's paintwork on her nails

JS-2M was a Chinese variant of the Soviet IS-2 Heavy Tank. The heavy tanks became obsolete in the advent of the more mobile Main Battle Tank concept
The famous Russian IS-2 is actually a mis-romanisation of JS-2 since the tank was named after Joseph Stalin when it first rolled onto the battlefield in 1944.

After all the jet-engine fuelled fun over the weekend I had to dig out an RAAF classic for the counter top. Amazing to think that it is almost 70 years since the first flight of the Dassault Mirage
Had to do a 1 day bonzaii run to BKK for some work permit stuff. Wife and I went and enjoyed a nice dinner. I picked up some meats from my fav butcher and some various IPA's.

Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA. 7.2 ABV. Very nice.
7.2 will catch up with you fast if you’re not careful. How was the taste?
Pretty good IPA DW. A bit of Citrus. Dark look and light tasteQuote:
