Off Topic The Burly Arms

I've tried that, very sweet but well worth the price. Zacapa isn't that expensive though.

Oh I might get something else if it's overly sweet. Just had a few people recommend it.

**** paying near on a oner for a bottle of rum, bet most couldn't tell the difference between that and a 40 quid bottle.

I'm gonna give this a go for Christmas I think:

I'm not buying it, getting it as gift from someone. I wouldn't pay much for any alcohol tbh, all that will happen is it will get drunk sat in my kitchen at 6am wired off my face with mates and nobody could tell the difference between good booze and cheap booze

The good booze is to savour, if you just want to get pissed, why pay a fortune to do it?

The El Dorado 12 I've bought this year is better and cheaper, save yourself a few quid.

Like I just posted El Dorado 12 is the way to go and I got a bottle for under £40 so I'd go there instead. Nice balance to it and one of the best rums I've ever had.

Had that before, wasn't a huge fan.

Edit- not sure what year it was actually.

Do you mix it with diet coke or normal coke though? Or maybe a bit of ginger beer if feeling adventurous?

The 12 is in a traditional stumpy bottle the 8 is in a taller bottle?

@luvgonzo just finishing off The Man in the High Castle.

I remember you posting that you found the first series too slow and gave up on it. You were right, the start of the first series was too slow but it got gradually got better. The second series was very good and the final one has been excellent.

Really. Was going to start the third but tbh i got a bit lost in the second and after watching 30 mins of the third i couldn't be bothered to get back into it having forgotten what was going on in the second lol.

I really liked the original concept but didnt like where it was heading

 

[luvgonzo]

I really liked it, also got the sense that this is the last time you'll see the likes of Pacino, De Niro and Pesci in roles like this, end of an era. Graham is also brilliant in it though and seemed to be having great fun with the role, it's about time he was given the lead by someone like Scorsese.

Finished it last night. Was very good.

Probably helped that I watched the first and second series a few months ago ie not when they were released. I can understand how it could be confusing if you watched it with big gaps in between each series.

Problem is I only event get Amazon as a trial or over the Christmas period so I don't want to start a series on there even though there are a few I like the look of.

With Pesci, I can’t unsee Home Alone when he’s present.
