Paper work day

GTB · Paper work day

I'm on a paperwork day so I am sat on my arse with plans spread all over the place for me to price. Whilst doing this sort of work I like to listen to Radio 4's podcasts and programmes.

I particularly like this one from Deadringers which was made before they put it on TV. The bit about Nigella Lawson is hilarious.

Anybody else use this service?

I found a very interesting podcast on the Radio 4 website the other afternoon which concerns the history of Scottish alcohol - and even one chap on there who was arguing that Claret should be the National drink in front of whisky. There is obviously a lot of talk about whisky and its distilling. All in all, it's a good programme well worth listening to if you just working on the computer. I quite like my single malts - especially the Islay malts.

I see what you mean.

my favourite single malt is Talisker from the isle of skye, but I am also very partial to Chateau Talbot or Chateau Margaux.
Don't get to partake to often due to the high costs involved.
I have brought Talisker in a small supermarket in the french alps for £17.00 while in Sainsburys in Calne it was marked up at £26.00.

I have an unopened bottle of Talisker at the moment - I also have bottles of Laphroaig, Bowmore, Macallan, Ardbeg Uigeadail, Ardbeg Renaissance (very rare to get hold of!) and a couple of blends. I don't drink them very often because they are too expensive to just quaff - the Ardbegs are more than £40 a bottle! Talisker is a very nice malt, not too dissimilar from an Islay malt but not as peaty.

Have you ever tried "Black Bottle" which is a blend of all the Islay malts?

no not tried that many and if truth be known I don't drink that much. I also enjoy a glass of Calvados.
Its nice to enjoy a glass or to of what you fancy as long as its not to often!
