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

    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard!
