Had my first Johnny Walker Gold Label Reserve today. I don't have a connoisseur's vocabulary to tell you what it was like, other than to say "that you get what you pay for", and it was bloody nice.

Default Just spotted myself on ebay

A dealer online offering my paintings - look at the original price on the label; still nowhere near what I got (probably about £150)



Spelled my name wrong as usual

Didn’t do a damn thing today but surf the web, with a gin and tonic and a cigar.

I fought mine for the first six months, and made myself even more miserable. When I finally accepted it, and started making adjustments, it took me about another month to get it just right. In the end, when I got my first week of real sleep (about six hours a night) I felt like a million bucks.

Not to mention my wife is much happier too.

Icon9 Subsim cpappers

P'raps we should open a new cpap social club; we can't be the only two mancave misathrope subsimmers wearing masks to keep breathing! My wife sleeps better too!

cool The big clue; and a subsim day on the TCM channel!

/\ leading to glorious victory in "WhoWhatWhere" thread! plus it's day on Turner Cassic Movies! 3 flicks: "TorpedoRun",1958, with Glenn Ford; "Submarine D1", 1937, with Pat O'brien; and "Battle of the Coral Sea",1959, with Gia Scala are the thrilling fare for the day.
