Talisker 10yo is £27 quid on amazon for black Friday and why are you still reading this post instead of buying some?

I get regularly slated by @V.Aye.R because he gave me a blind dram of Haig Club and I was raving about it. I quite enjoyed it to be honest.

F-Pace for me but choosing between those is definitely a first world problem!

I have a Tissot, they are excellent. They are an actual watchmaker, not a fashion brand with cheap rubbish inflated by the badge.

I've told her I'll sell some to fund furniture purchases (I won't).

Why do you think I've been slamming it so hard pre-move? The collection is at 80 bottles.

Great strategy.

Oh I didn't have that problem. I was on like the 6/7 quid wine, you must have been after the properly cheap stuff

I see the Lidl and Aldi seemingly annual now Christmas time releases are out. Both 18yo and both 39.99. Incredible value. The Aldi is a speyside and it's out now. The Lidl is the Ben Bracken again, is an Islay and think is out next week. They tend to disappear fast so keep an eye out. The Aldi one you can get on their website but you need to buy 6 bottles to get delivery. Thankfully that includes mix and matching with their cheap and also fantastic wine so wasn't a bother for me.

Buying a new build. Doing the supposedly sensible but daunting thing of stretching ourselves financially, especially since rates are still low. Gf is already moaning that we won't be able to afford any furniture etc. Can't quite get her head around the concept that we will hopefully live in this house for decades and we really don't need to do absolutely everything day one. "I'm no wanting to live in an empty house!", well f**k off to your mums then and I'll happy live on me own.

Apart from OBJ though the Rams have a REALLY likeable team. Donald, Stafford, Kupp, Woods, Miller - these guys are all business all the time. Ramsey has an ego but he is a phenomenal player and can back it up. Maybe my specs are rose tinted but I would want long time class acts who have never won a superbowl like Donald and Stafford to get one ahead of Tom Bradys 15th one. The narrative that the Rams are doing something wrong baffles me. They're prioritising proven talent ahead of crapshoot draft picks and being slaughtered for it. People keep saying it's unsustainable. Well they've been doing it successfully since 2016 so maybe it's just another way to do things and an equally legitimate roster building strategy. How have the Lions, Jets, Dolphins etc got on having stockpiled loads of picks?

Not sure how I feel about this.

Speaking of Bunna love, they're releasing a 12yo cask strength but the RRP is £75. Assuming it's still a must buy? @V.Aye.R was mumping about the price.

I have one. Think a few of the regular whisky thread posters do too, it's come up before. Mine is probably 4 years old or so by now. Changes all the time as you drink a little then re-fill with something else.

Can't see them disrupting the good juju with a headcase. Tight knit group of lads by all accounts. One of the reasons they let MeSean go.

Talisker 18 for me tonight. Bask in my glory.

How much better do Arsenal look when Xhaka isn't playing? Talk about addition by subtraction. Smith Rowe looks class.

I have a bet on the chargers for the SB. 40/1. Made it the second they hired Staley. He is the balls. Does anyone know if they were doing propf of vaccine spot checks before the london game last week? Had an email from them saying they would be but I hadn't bothered with getting the vaccine pass thing because I thought England weren't bothering with all that?

This genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing it.

Seems there are some who genuinely prefer the glorious failure, moral victory type performances and results. Baffling.

And you couldnt be happier about it, miserable b*****d.

Did you clock if they sold guinness? The only way I can ever get my old man out the pub early to get some of the atmosphere is if they have Guinness. He wont leave early for a lager in a plastic cup.

Also interested in these answers.

He would have got away with it if it was an isolated email but, Malky McKay style, he seemed to be hitting every fucking marginalised group going. Scumbag. Now all we need is for P&B to discover he leases a BMW.

Mine too and I was only in the fucking house.
