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

    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ?
