5 minutes of a girl on a tannoy saying 'This is the Red Exit' and the crowd cheering it, and booing every time she mentions a different colour.
Yet its very funny.

What do you think gin is made from ?
Also, Scotch only started to dominate ahead of irish whiskey in the 19th century when they started to make grain scotch by putting basically vodka in barrels. It was quicker and cheaper to produce it that what rather than traditional pot still whiskey.
Ironcally, the process was invented by an irishman, but shunned by the Irish distillers at the time. The man took his invention to scotland, and the Irish whiskey was crushed for over a century, possibly still is tbh.
Originally posted by zuutroy View PostThat proves nothing! Sure whiskey is made from beer
Same or similar ingredients, mixed and heated to make wort, but then the processes differ for finishing both. The wort made for whiskey wouldn't be much of a beer.
Making Gin literally requires you to make a finished vodka first, then instill the flavours.

My facetious point was that all drinks are 'similar'
Pretty sure I've said many times that graphene is unlikely to be integrated into anything useful any time soon as well.

I have a friend him and his wife there first kid has downes they knew this and still had the child.
They both have excellent jobs in finance so can better afford the extra help that the kid will need.
It can look very selfish and it probably is but if you are in a family situation and a kid is going to have severe learning difficultys is it fair on the other children ?
Can you as a family afford it?
Can only imagine the strain if you are a single mother even when the child is an adult it will still need possible full time care.
Its a decision id hate to have to make.

I have to say though that reports that there has been no one born with either of those conditions in Iceland since genetic testing came in would give anyone pause for thought.
I can absolutely see all sides as having merit but the one argument I really hate is the economic one. Number one priority for all of us, ahead of any referendum, should be to have that taken off the table by ensuring that the supports and services that need to be in place are.

Did a spread bet on Monaco GP selling number of finishers. Spread was 14.25-14.75.
13 cars finished but account showed a loss as they put it at 15?
I sent email to support and got this back;
Your trade was on the number of classified finishers in the race. To be counted as classified the drivers need to finish 90% of the race. I have checked this for you and the settlement of 15 is correct, with both Kvyat and Stroll being classified.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Postdon't put yourself down, a lack of fingerprint scanner is a disgrace even in the second and third worlds. It actively irritates me gravely the few times my fingerprint isn't read and need to type the code in. Plus those gobshite companies that put the fingerprint scanner on the front of the phone, when it should clearly be on the back of the phone where your fingers naturally rest. More importantly, is a tech firm that doesn't know this really worth working for?
We have now compromised and I'm getting a phone with this most basic of needs, however it's a Samsung and as you have alluded to, are gobshites, they have the fingerprint scanner on the front below the screen, may god have mercy on their souls.
What I'm meant to use my thumb to scan?! That's not even a finger.

I got the Oneplus 3T last week and find the low front fingerprint scanner to be OK for when taking it out of pocket. Also have an index finger stored for when it's sitting on the table.

Was thinking there things we take for granted.
Hurt my back four weeks ago was getting terrible spasms but almost cured now and could not walk for more than 15 mins without pain.
The humble shit a thing many of us do daily if in reasonable health.
Its a necessary way of getting rid of waste and personally find it great feel like a new person after a good one.
My housemate has been using a colostomy bag for two years he ahd his large intestine out due to ulceritic colitis.
Basically he was shitting the whole time up to 40 times a day so as a last resort got it cut out.
He has had a second surgery now to try and basically hook his arse up to his intestine and use the toilet naturally instead of into a bag.
There is no guarantee of success its a two step process but im guessing from an intimacy point a bag is a passion killer.

Icc champions trophy starts this week.
50 over 8 team format two get through from both sets of 4 to semi finals.
Like the look of Finch at 25/1 to be top tourney batsman 1/4 top 4.
Warner and Smith both 10/1 but Finch should open with warner got a good century his last match and has a 30 so far in todays match v Pakistan.

I virtually never use my phone as a phone. In fact I hate speaking on the phone, or being contactable in that way. If it was socially viable to not have a phone number of any kind it would be great.
