I need to buy a bottle of JD at the weekend as a pressie.
1L is £27 in A but £23 in S:T

£20.70 for a litre is a good price:)

Better off buying 700ml bottle in tesco for £15 from tomorrow :beer:

This is a very good book first steps in wine making I got mine from eBay for £1.00:)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/First-Steps-Winemaking-C-Berry/dp/1854861395
A bit of an old book but some great recipes there was an old gent that lived by me .He used to give us a bottle of wine now and then.

It was lovely wine and very strong he suggested the book as I was interested in making some wine.

And I needed somewher to start as I had only made cider in the past. It was his holy grail of wine making and he knew his stuff and had the results to prove it.

Last year I made 50L of blackberry wine and it was delicious

Ooo, I am thinking of making a cyder press contraption and trying to make my own cyder this year with the apples from my tree.

Evening all

Just spent a very frustrating hour having a very frustrating conversation with DS2 about whether it's acceptable to use the word 'screwed' :eek:
overheard by me....him saying to the dog 'that's it spaniel Im screwed now thanks to you' (The dog chewed a teddy bear and there was stuffing everywhere)
Apparently 'screwed' is acceptable because everyone on Nickleodeon says it.

I said I'd rather you didn't use it and (stupidly) said Well it didn't mean getting a telling off when I was growing up :eek: I spent the rest of the conversation body swerving questions about what else it could mean except getting in trouble. The conversation ended with 'Bart Simpson says it as well........'

I still don't think he should use it. I'm not being an old fart, am I?? :rotfl:

There will be worse:eek::rotfl:

Would telling him it's a word used by American people, so British people use 'in trouble' or 'done for' (or whatever phrase you prefer) instead be an option? Is he likely to give up using it if it's not a 'proper' word for British people?

If not, yeah screwed is about right :rotfl:

Your screwed:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Clive Myrie used it the other week on one of the nighty papers review programmes. He said some organisation or other had 'screwed up'. Not that I did any double-take or anything - but I just thought, in that context (ha-ha):D, maybe the phrase 'messed up' would be the one on a TV programme. Perhaps our conversational standards (not that I'm bothered about them) have changed a bit. I would be acceptable in ordinary speech in RL. I don't think much of an eyelid gets batted at it these days.

I'm sorry in a way to say I love the lonngggg conversation about it. It's something that I can get deeply interested in, especially as it's trying to identify the inconsistent and illogical line of approach that runs throughout the 'neuro-typical'-world approach on the entirety of ... well the entire of most things actually:rotfl::rotfl:. Especially this. I love my slight mischievousness that I can have on this sort of thing now. You lot (society) do give me such fun. I can understand why DS2 might go into detail or require such a long discussion - it can be, no, it is, because fathoming out such conventions and illogicalities is a very long task to us. (That's because you'll all so flamin' illogical though!:p:p:rotfl:)

There was a serious question in there is it acceptable to say words like that now? I did leave the room feeling like an old fart
He makes a good argument, I'll give him that!
