The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Morning all. Cold and miserable here.
So after United Utilities telling me the problem is beneath WBCs land so is their problem I phoned WBC this morning. Their main man is coming out later but is adamant that its UUs problem. He says he will phone UUs escalation team to get things moving.
Any problems and I will phone environmental services and see if they can intervene.
Edit.
The guy coming out IS Environmental Service & Protection.

Morning

All the experts tend to agree that it needs a drop of water to break it up and release the flavours better.

Oh I agree. With the cheaper I tend to go quite heavy on water but with a quality malt literally just a drop to release the oils.

Right I've been outside. Mrs P is on the train. I've now lit the woodburner. Clearly I'm not badass - it's dank, murky and very cold. I may go on the allotment later.

Just dropped in to my local CAMRA award winning brewery to pick up essential supplies for next week.
Nice selection of dark winter ales to settle down with.

Morning all. Had a bit of a scare, been in the pleasure of one of the finest NHS establishments with a skyline view for the last 2 days. Nothing serious but all sorted now. I was worried next weeks holiday would be in jeopardy, so thanks to the brilliant staff at UCH all's well

Aldi Vodka is now reduced to the same as the whisky... .£12.99 PER LITRE.
We enjoy vodka with fresh orange as a pre dinner drink.

Good man, that's the spirit!

 

[PaulSB]

I have done bugger all today except put up a picture.

Mrs P has just rung to say she is getting an early train. This is good as I will be able to have a glass earlier than expected.

 

[welsh dragon]

I hadn't done much either. It's hissing down here as well.
