the hitman Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hi Folks How’s everyone’s night in going so far? Mrs H has made a buffet which are eating off paper plates- just to give it a bit of a party feel. I am having a beer ( Old speckled hen) then later I might consider a wee Johnny Walker black label at the bells - and Mrs H is having a Prosecco . Enjoy your evening folks - and keep posting .

Pangolin Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Sounds nice. Having a couple of wheat beers at the min, got a thick coconut and vanilla 12% stout for later (Even More Death by Northern Monk and Evil Twin Brewing) Might watch Parasite. Walker Black would be nice, Christopher Hitchens' favourite 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'm on my second significant glass of port and halfway through a bag of cashews. I've got a cade lamb to feed in an hour and then its probably bed time unless I find a good film to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxbuster Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Sat watching ‘hot fuzz’ with the missus, no booze, not had a drop since August!! 😱 Too misty to get out, proper rock’n’roll hey🙄 Happy new year everyone🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hitman Posted December 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Mrs H has just produced a selection of cheeses - Stilton, black sticks blue being my favourite. The question is do I pass on the Johnny Walker and go for a bottle of campo Viejo red instead 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I’m taking it easy. After a few days off I’m back at the (outdoor) gym tomorrow. Not looking forward to it and it’ll be ruddy cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Almost bed time for me, up early tomorrow as I have lead to liberate. I have seen too many New Years already to get excited about it all but I do wish you all a Happy Healthy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
243deer Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 the Mrs has fallen asleep so I have the Royal Marines band playing and a glass of Ardmore. I just could not face an evening of inane tv. How you can even question red something or other versus a whisky is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can drink whisky regardless of mood - which one depends on my humour. But red has to be sociable or in a good mood. I'm drinking port but that's because it was cheap 😂😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a whiskey expert, and after trying a few I have decided that JW black label is the one for me - straight over some ice. I think you are right, tonight of al nights should be a wee dram night. How’s the Ardmore going down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy, I had Lagavulin poisoning twice, never again. Never had a port hangover, but I don't celebrate with cheap port or for that matter cheap fizz.

243deer Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 The Ardmore bottle is empty, only taken 3 years as I rarely drink these days as on call a lot. It looks almost like a lowland malt but it is definitely highland and quite punchy and peaty. It is also on the sweet side. As it comes for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice now mate Mrs H is a nurse and did a 12 hour shift today- and is back in tomorrow at 7am .Thankfully the hospital is in walking distance from our house as she is putting the Prosecco away rather quickly - as you say it’s been a tough time. 4 minutes ago, 243deer said: The Ardmore bottle is empty, only taken 3 years as I rarely drink these days as on call a lot.

As it comes for me My brother raves about Ardbeg whiskey which sounds similar to what you have described- a bottle of JW lasts me about a year as it’s very much a winter drink for me .

owain Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Me and the boys have been up catbells today. It was cold and misty down the bottom but lovely and clear with great views off the top. We’ve played board games and watched a film. It’s a big change of pace from our usual New Years celebrations, but not unpleasant 👍 have a good one everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot remember the last bottle I bought for myself as they usually come as presents from family or friends for favours that I have done. There has not been one that I have not liked and it is good to try lots of different ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Lidl do a copy of JW black label called Abrachan - I think, however it’s nowhere as nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
