Back to Boris. People need to stop caling him Boris, it gives the twat some buffoon like endearing qualities. Alexander de Pfeffel Johnson with his burka comment is trying to be a bit UKIP to appeal to voters when he stands for leader. The self-referential Bullingdon spoilt manchild in reality despises with contempt the Brexit voters he is trying to get support from. He desperately wants to be the 20th Prime Minister from Eton, and will say anything to get there, now it's copying Trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budgie jackets presumably Adam Faith wore them on the show Budgie was repeated in the mid 80's I used to watch it usually half pissed because I'd tape it and watch it when I came in from the pub.

My favourite Japanese whisky to date has been the 17 year old Hibiki. I miss the Whisky exchange, in fact, since moving back to Canada I miss privatized alcohol sales in general. Will have a look out for it on my next trip back to the UK. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suntory stopped producing Hibiki 17 yo. I loved it. Truly superb. All Japanese whisky makers are running out of old stock due to demand. Prices have skyrocketed too. BTW NEVER buy from Dekanta. They are an outrageous rip-off. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit, I knew something was up. I was in the UK a couple of months ago and tried to find some. Saw prices of £200 + and thought "No, that's not it, I paid £70 ish. That must be something different (although odd that it's still Hibiki 17)". My whisky reserves are still in good shape so I ended up bringing a bunch of wine back instead, so it worked out. But, I'll savour all the 17 Hibiki I have left, knowing that I'll never see it again. Balls. Thanks for the heads up. Unionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has all these very old carafs and cups with these rings inside that shows the color. Doesn't make it taste any different thoo. I always end up drinking quite allot and not getting a normal alcohol buzz, just a warm fuzzy glow like E's Till I stand up and wonder why my legs aren't working properly lol This chap is in his 90s, fit as a fiddle, and he puts it down to drinking it daily.

Kampai! Shochu is more popular than sake on Japan itself. Its distilled, not fermented like sake. Yhe good stufd is single distilled, called honkaku shōchū. The other is multiple distilled and is more for a mix in cocktails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
