Get the generic brand from Aldi.................(not sure where the ethanol is sourced) and you can have one every 9 weeks :eek:'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0 -

Has to be Gordons I'm afraid. Lovingly distilled in London, shipped to Italy. Sold at £9 a litre. Avidly purchased by yours truly and imported back to Loughton in my trailer after each year's 2 month sojourn there.
Judging from the taste of Aldi (or similar muck) I suspect it is rather longer in methanol than ethanol. Just sticking a juniper berry in the vile liquid for two minutes does not make it gin.
But your concern for my good financial housekeeping is very laudable. Well done! I wish you could get through to Mrs LM that inviting a couple of people round for tea does not require the purchase of a new cake stand - which she chose to purchase today when I was forced to let her go to Lakeland on her own......0 -
The irony didn't escape me.
Aberdeen, too, won an award.Urban Realm magazine said Aberdeen had become the "poor relation" of Scotland's cities as it awarded the annual Plook on the Plinth Carbuncle award to the Granite City.
Aldi Gin's award was, I believe, only silver. The gold went to Windolene. Only 99% as good for cleaning windows, but 1 tenth the price.0 -
According to that other infamous website that shall remain nameless, the Aberdeen housing market is now in freefall.
In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:0 -

Which is pretty funny.
As it quotes the same article posted here, but then twists that from being the reported facts, that there have been circa 500 higher LTV mortgages in the last year (out of circa 10K transactions), plus the press release speculation, that IF prices fall some of those people might be at higher risk of having issues, into "house prices are in freefall".
And they wonder why nobody takes them seriously....:rotfl:“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

It occurs to me that what Aberdeen needs, now, is the mother and father of middle-east wars in which the bulk of their oil production is halted.
I wonder if Hamish can arrange that?
Perhaps he won't need to.......0 -
Is journalism that bad nowadays? It's barely even news0
