Favourite whiskies? Depends on my mood, it'll be Talisker, Laphroaig or Glenmorangie (the latter strangely good with Italian food!). I used to like Auchentoshan 3-wood, but have gone off it.

Blended whiskies I admit to not being able to task a difference in any of them - except for Whyte & Mackay, which I'm convinced tastes so peppery to suit Scottish Junior football supporters buying it with a pepper ridden greasy round meat pie in the social club or the dingy pub across from most of their grounds!

I've just tried an experiment putting a shot of Ribena concentrate into Dark Island Ale. I used to love Dark Island Ale, but when Sinclair Breweries took them over, corners were certainly cut & their ales weren't the same. Dark Island became bitterer & the legendary Skullsplitter - a drink so good it was almost criminal - lost something from its pzazz. Funny enough, my experiment was a success, it tastes EXACTLY like the way it used to. There were rumours the old recipe had fruits in it but they were removed as a way of cutting costs (except in the Reserve, which DOES taste the way the old one used to except 100 times smoother), that's why it tasted more coffee like and less smooth than before. Now all I need to do is figure out the dropped ingredient from Skullsplitter.

Hic!

I feel a gloat now coming on over all those that dissed me when I said Liverpool could win the English League this year. Only four behind C*****a with a game in hand, two top scorers in the league, a goal difference only bettered by the Man City bottle merchants, it's all coming together!

Nice that Aberdeen got their first trophy in 19 years. They usually win all their trophies in 20 year bursts so this must be the start of them running riot again.
