Still a tip and your brewing barrel collection is pathetic.
Mine is now up to 16, just added another of the new
Coopers barrels I got at a garage sale last Saturday for $25.

I had a few bob left over after paying £2000 for a new subframe,
a £900 train trip to Penzance tomorrow, another one to Glasgow
on 9NOV16 and a pop concert in Dortmund on 25NOV16,

Does that mean you are one of those tourists ?

He'd have to be to spend £900 quiid on a train to Penzance, what's
he going on the Flying scotsman or a network rail off peak ticket ;-)

Maybe Pam is right and he is barking...

Well I paid £90 to go to st ives some time ago it was a 4 1/2 hour train journey from paddington, not a very pleasant journey either.
I wouldn't have mined a quiet 1st class seat but woulodn;t pay that sort of money for one. I wonder how much an uber cab would charge.


so I bought the missus some vintage Champers.

More into a decent single malt myself.

Can you make/distil that yourself as in home distillation. ?

Yes, I can and do. Bit of a problem with the typical 20 year aging with
those tho.

Yes it would require some rather forward thinking and planning.
