Reminds me of an old joke...


A man was invited to dinner with the French ambassador. Making small talk he asked the ambassador's wife, "What do you think the most important thing is in life". To his obvious surprise she answered, "A penis". "Are you sure?", he asked. "Definitely", she said confidently, "A penis".


At this point the ambassador leant over the table and said, "My dear, it eez pronounced 'appiness"...

Happiness - comes in many forms.


One, impossible, dream for me would be to discover a new, unread, novel in Patrick O Brian magnificent Aubrey / Maturin series and, having absolutely nothing else to do - settle down to read it on a dark winter's night, in a comfortable armchair, beside a log fire with a glass of good malt whisky in my hand - current choice Caol Ila.

... and Bunnahabhain, where my grandmother grew up before the First World War. Her father was the bonded warehouseman employed by 'the Revenue', but who ensured an occasional bottle made it into the pub to keep the locals happy ;-)

As whisky happiness is hi jacking this thread I also offer you 25 year old Highland Park, Talisker and agree with Louisiana on Lagavulin, Ardbeg, Laphroaig.


In fact another version of happiness could be to be locked in the Malt Whisky Society club room in Bleeding Heart Yard, London with an anti hangover pill and carry out a comparative tasting of all 350 malts on offer

    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
