  1. The food is very moorish
  2. They're right about it being sensational though. Fucking gold that like
  3. Yeah, but the irony is that back then I had the disposable income
  4. I've noticed that the porn stars from eastern and central Europe tend to be the fittest. Is that any help?
  5. Not my cup of char, but to each their own and all that. I used to like it with coke ages ago though. I think your tastebuds definitely change a bit as you get older like.
  6. Definitely the manager's fault and nowt to do with him being a very ordinary player. Diddums
  7. It is a bit, although I think that's kind of the point
  8. That picture of Brezhnev
  9. Captain Morgan's doesn't even taste of rum, it might as well be any neutral spirit flavoured with shit loads of vanilla because that's all there flavour is in it.
  10. He caught one of those computer viruses as well
  11. Well, given how motivated by money he seems to be I wouldn't rule out China or an English club other than Everton, despite what he said. I would, however, rule us out
  12. As ex-mackems go I quite like Arca. Apparently he was in tears when South Shields won their FA Vase semi-final
  13. If would be financially difficult even with a different owner, plus there'd be other suitors who are more attractive and he's said that the only other English club he'd play for is Everton. Then there's the money that would be available to play abroad in places like New York, LA, China, etc. It's never going to happen so it's all moot
  14. Just reminded me but when Leazes was sending people his curry recipes via pm he'd sent one to Sweetleftpeg, who used to post on here loads. Anyway, he must've forgotten to reply and thank Leazes, and I reckon it would've just been an oversight because not saying thanks isn't his style. Anyway, Leazes must've stored it away in his little black book of grudges because they disagreed on some football matter or whatever months later and Leazes launched into a tirade about how he was the sort of rude arsehole (or words to that effect) that didn't even have the courtesy to thank someone one who'd sent them a curry recipe. Another little insight into his bizarre mind
  15. I've had it ages ago with coke but couldn't really recall what it was like tbh. Not really into spiced rum as I tend to find it too sweet. I've seen lots of good reviews for the Pusser's spiced version though. Apparently it's not as sweet as the likes of Captain Morgan and it's also supposed to contain more Carribean type spices rather than being really vanilla-heavy like most of the other ones. I haven't tried it though, it's just what I've read about it. I got a bottle of Four Square spiced rum when my Mam and Dad went to Barbados a few years back and that was nice. You can get both of those on Amazon I think.
  16. Has he got a lass like?
  17. I expect to see a CT-style photo of a Mai Tai complete with paper umbrella posted on here tomorrow night.
  18. It's not a type, it's a company that produces lots of styles from different countries. And ewerk, just to muddy the waters a bit more, loads of rums are blends from different carribean countries as opposed to one distinct style or place.
  19. The ones in bold are all different styles though Well, I guess Brugal and Havana Club are similar 'rons'. But give it go, it's different class to Captain Morgan's dark rum. Bacardi and Captain Morgan both do spiced rum but they're not really my cup of tea. Used to like Kraken years ago but can't get away with it now (it's a spiced rum) - too sweet. Bacardi do all sorts. Their white rum is the most common but it's stricly a mixer. It's basically the rum equivalent of Smirnoff. Their 8 year old is nice (probably on a par with something like the Havana Club 7, but the Havana Club is cheaper and much more widely available). Styles basically break down something like this: White rum: Bacardi Superior, Havana Club 3 etc. Wray and Nephew* - these are mixers Barbados Rum: Smooth, golden rum. Brands like Cockspur and Mount Gay Eclipse. The more you pay the smoother they are but they're generally made to be smooth. More expensive varieties are Doorley's XO (very nice, tried it at the Whisky Festival), Mount Gay Black Barrel and XO. Rums from Barbados don't have any additives allowed (bar colouring) so you're getting 'pure rum'. Cuban / Puerto Rican: The golden rums here don't additives either generally (bar the spiced varieties). Again, the more you pay the more of a 'sipper' you'll get. Not tried loads but Bacardi 8 / Havana Club 7 are nice. Tend to have a bit of a tabacco taste to them which some people like, some don't (I do). Jamaican Rum: Only really had Appleton Estate and Mezan XO Jamaican. Tend to be spicier (not 'spiced' / sweetened though) or 'funkier'. This is because they are pot stilled rather than column stilled so you get a more intense flavour compared to the smoother Bajan style, for example. Navy Rums: Get Lamb's calling itself this but 'proper' ones are stilled in greenheart stills, which is tropical hardwood, as opposed to copper, so you get a strong flvaour from that - see Pusser's* or Wood's*. Demerara rums: come from Guyana. The most common you'll find are El Dorado. The 8 y.o. is dry in style but the older ones have added sugar and are markedly sweeter. They're still very nice though. If you like Pyrat, these have similar levels of sweetness but are more 'true rums' if you like. Premium rums: Pyrat and stuff like Diplomatico exclusivo. These have created controversy because they're often rums which perhaps weren't that great but had loads of sugar added to make them smooth 'sippers'. In any case they taste very nice but in the case of Pyrat, they're a rip off imo since it's also had orange essence added so you're essentially paying a fortune for a rum rather than cognac-based Gran Marnier / similar. There's also Rhum Agricole which I know very little about but comes from the French Carribean. Then there's all the different spiced rums and basically anywhere that grows sugar seems to have a go at it. *These rums are also 'overproof', i.e. 54.5% or stronger tl/dr: get a bottle of Pusser's, it's fucking lush
  20. It's canny amazing that you two seem to have come up with the concept of rum and coke with a squeeze of lime like. Never heard of it before.
