Johnny Walker Green Label, which they do a release of every now and again is usually amazing. It’s 15 yo plus it’s a blend of 100% single malts. Only from a small amount of distilleries (the blend varies from release to release). Sometime available on Amazon for bargain prices. Black Label is very decent too though. Same Chivas Regal 12. Both make a good old fashioned as well. Edit: JW Black Label is £20 on prime atm (as is chivas regal 12)

That’s quite a range

I’ll tell you what happens 👍🏻 😉

Used to be nice and still is if you’re lucky enough to get the real thing. Now it’s just another generic UK-brewed pale imitation.

So far I’ve had some barrel-fermented Chenin blanc, some bloody lovely Tuscan red from LIdl, some Aldi 12 yo Speyside malt (also used in a rusty nail) and a couple of tots of Doorly’s XO. And a nice coffee. It is Xmas, I’m kidding myself. Can’t believe I forgot the Pedro Ximenez with the Xmas pudding

Imo opinion the stuff that retails for about half of that is about as good as it gets. You get ones c. 15-18 years of age and it’s the perfect marriage of ageing without losing too much of the character. Try and find out a brand or 3 that he likes and let me know.

You know how some people like the ones heavy in the Sherry maturation, then you get the ones that like the really peaty ones, then for others it’s unseated but in American bourbon cask for the true ‘distillery character’. I like them all I did not get the peaty ones at all when I first tried them mind

You got any idea what he likes? As some people love the peaty stuff and it’s like kryptonite to others (for example). Also, what’s your budget?

Parakeets - They’re Cunts Would make a great t-shirt slogan

I’ve had a couple but I think the alcohol has been absorbed by the stodge

A few days old but anyway: Residents throw eggs at penis-headed statue of Putin erected in Bell End https://www.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/news/national/23194010.residents-throw-eggs-penis-headed-statue-putin-erected-bell-end/?dicbo=v2-09590b2df5148c4e6a841a80bc3414b5

Fair weather pussy sounds like a more restrained version of sunshine fanny

A lad I worked with (I know) completely seriously asked if the draw under Benitez meant it was 6 and a half in row.

The six in a row only drew them level in terms of competitive wins but they always beat us in their tiny minds

I think he’s completely lost his desire. It was more the fact there’s no way it’s even a remote possibility that he’d go there for all sorts of reasons.

Just imbibing a rather fine 19 y.o. Islay single malt that I got from Lidl this morning. Merry fucking Christmas

I saw that thread. Best part is that most of them wouldn't want him.

Always thought faithless were shite. RIP

Hope you all have a great Christmas, lads (and Cath). I love you all, in varying degrees

Ironically it’s actually in Newcastle. It’s in Woolsington, which is classed as Newcastle. Whereas Ponteland, which is obviously nearby, is Northumberland. So the stupid fucking cunts can’t even get their shit attempt at a dig accurate

Stick a bit of Joy Division on after Leonard Cohen to really get you feeling festive

A quick look at his Twitter account suggests he’s even more pathetic than I thought:
