The Retirement Thread

[oldwheels]

A good friend of mine, sadly now departed, once gave me a bottle of Poteen he’d brought back with him from a visit home to Ireland.
I was a bit apprehensive but it was excellent, no idea what proof it might have been but it was mighty fierce 🥃

Depending on the type of still and how often redistilled it could be as much as 50 to70 proof. Unmatured spirit like poteen will have a totally different kick from any matured spirit.

Pollock are fine.
Its those catfish from Thailand !!!
And.....if its Pollock why can't they just say so.

I can see one or two getting the request worded wrong.

Enjoyed Countryfile. The weekly forecast looks pretty good but chilly at times. Half watching Antiques Roadshow while browsing. Will enjoy Call the Midwife and Line of Duty soon.

No chance.
I always take precautions.

And we only make love on days ending with 'y'.

Morning all. A quick hello before I dash to Tesco..........I use Aldi for all bog standard stuff but some stuff they just don't get right.
I have a guy coming to put new wiring from ceiling rose to light fitting**
**12 months ago it would be no problem but this bl**dy virus has stolen my balance and I am not confident up a step ladder.
MrsDs sister is coming to clear our her wardrobes..... I kid you not, its like being married to Emelda Marcus and I have rebelled.
Over the years her problem has been "oh I like that dress/jumper/shoes" etc......fine,I have no problem with that BUT......she never throws anything out!!! I am sure others are the same......feel free to comment.
