Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Quality vodka is something I'm not too familiar with because it's so expensive for what it is. Whiskey on the other hand is a great pleasure of mine. I've also discovered Hendrick's gin, which I happen to be drinking tonight. Beautiful stuff.

 

Had a really nice Vodka in Amsterdam. No bitter after taste at all, it was so smooth I drank most of the bottle.

 

Just back from running. Whiskey sounds good.

 

Best Vodka I've ever had is one called Bison Grass. It's Polish and rather nice.

Don't have any whiskey in. Have some vodka in but shouldn't get drunk on a work night.

 

Don't have anything in. Not well enough to drink strong alcohol anyway. Bloody cold is hanging on with a grip. I'm sure I felt better than this on Saturday.

 

in Egypt last year I was introduced to an entertainer at our hotel, who was Poland's most famous pan pipe player (yeah I know pure rock an roll) who had a bottle of hazelnut flavoured vodka called "soplica". it was 36% and tasted delicious, just before your lips went numb.

 

My son remarked that my angina seems to be worse after I have a meal with a glass of wine. Told him he was right and I'd have to give up food.

 

The UK is such a police state.

 

I'm knackered and achy and your alcohol talk is making me feel left out. Anyone want to come down to Guildford to get crunk wit me?

 

I'll come down

 

Apologies if posted blah blah... Hampshire Cup match between Brockenhurst and Andover. Some good penalties:

Just thrown Youtube an almighty wobbler. I hardly ever sign in, so it's operating on scraps as it is, but I've just selected an old track by Matthews Southern Comfort, called Even As... Yeah, it's there, but Youtube hasn't got a clue what to recommend alongside it. Somehow, that's quite satisfying.

 

I kind of do, but Guildford is a bitch to get to.

 

One of those articles which is all about a player from ManU and how he can be thrown at a club who have no apparent aspirations [according to the article writer] and therefore have enough altruism to bring on a ManU player. Wilfred Zaha. I know a great club for him to fulfil the role - Crystal Palace.

I'm sure (though can't back it up) Hertfordshire isn't much better for transport. But yeah Guildford sucks, on the way back from Palace away I had to make three bloody changes. Guildford to South London should not take three changes.

Also my sister (in Canterbury) can get home for cheaper than I can, which is bloody unfair.

 

Where I am transport is convenient if you're going north or south. Wanna go east or west? Forget about it. I can be at King's Cross in 25 minutes, but to get to Guildford I have to then get two tubes to Waterloo, and then get the Portsmouth Harbour train. Similar thing for getting to Southampton.

The most annoying thing is there's a tube station about 15 minutes from my house, in Watford, but getting to Watford is just ridiculously difficult for some reason. My idea would be an underground line that follows the path of the M25, so I could get on at St Albans and get off basically at Guildford. If I run for mayor will you all vote for me?

 

Ah that's not bad. Much better than Guildford's habit of "going to Waterloo or Woking? Sweet. Going anywhere else? **** off then." Particularly useful as nobody ever wants to go to Woking.

I dunno if I'd vote for you though. As good as that underground idea sounds, my foolproof strategy is to vote for the funniest name, and I dunno if Joe Steinberg is funny enough. It's not as funny as Boris. If you change it, you've got a deal.

 

I could make it more Jewish. Jesus Steinberg.

 

Yep, that sounds good. Now get a funny hairdo, say stupid things every time you open your mouth, and bumble about like an idiot whenever there are TV cameras nearby. The general public will love you.

 

I can say with quite some confidence that I can definitely do all of those things.
