Sorry to be a bore but at least this isn?t about spelling. Jack Daniels isn?t bourbon. Bourbon has to come from Kentucky (I think it?s only Kentucky). Jack is a Tennessee whiskey.

I also experimented with a "Southern Comfort Manhattan" - not recommended

Prosecco me arse! I can't believe people are debating over the quality of fizz in a five pound drink in a cocktail bar.


How smug we have all become with our disposable income and fancy ways when there are kids living in abject poverty and misery just down the road in Peckham and Camberwell. Next time one thinks one might be offended by the decor or inferior nature of the bubbles in one's drink perhaps one should have a glass of water, go home sober for a change (maybe), and give the money to charity instead. Or not.


It's just a bar.


(Enjoy your Mojito Challenge though. Sounds like a legend idea)

Actually though Simon, not wanting to rely too much on something I heard in the pub, after I posted that I thought I would go and check it up and apparently I wasn?t 100% correct. Whiskeys produced outside of Kentucky (but still inside the USA) can actually call themselves bourbon as long as they are produced in a certain way. Most of them don?t though out of tradition.


Now I feel like a Jack Daniels. It?s only 9:15 :-S

Wikipedia has this to say about it:


?A yard is a spar on a mast from which sails are set? Yardarms [are] the outermost tips of the yard? The actual time that the sun would pass a particular yard would depend greatly on the ship's latitude and heading, as well as the height of her masts, but the phrase seems to have originated in the north Atlantic, where, in summer, this would have typically been at about 11 a.m..?


So I have about 35 minutes.

Umm, ok, I don't want to get into a forum fight or anything, but as one of the people who mentioned the prosecco, I can't help taking this a little personally.


djfitz, reading that it seemed to me the only person being smug was you. Don't you think your post was a little judgement and presumptuous? Apart from knowing that I don't like prosecco or Adventure bar, what do you really know about me? Are you really in a position to judge my attitude to poverty, the children of neighbouring, more deprived, boroughs or my charitable giving?


I'm no saint and I'm not saying I don't over indulge occasionally, but that sort of sweeping moral judgement just because I expressed an opinion on a cheap, sweet, prosecco cocktail, seems unfair to me.

      What helps you keep on top of your home?

      By Angelina · Posted

      I disagree with the who concept of tidying one room at a time. I find it's more effective to increase the overall level of tidy by 10% regularly, and take regular breaks.  Always straighten your bed first - your bed is your priority and your haven. Change the sheets if you have clean ones to use. 1. pick up all rubbish around the house; take it out. 2. pick up all crockery etc that needs a wash: put it all in one place and start to sort it out. Wash and dry whatever you can put away easily. Wash things by type - I'll do cups then plates, then cutlery, then pots..... 3. Kitchen surfaces - tidy things you can, be ruthless - everything is going to need a home. Sweep the floor, wipe the surfaces. 4. Pick up all laundry around the house. Start to sort it out so you are in control of it - wash types together - eg all sheets.  4. bathroom - so on..... Then, the entire house is an better environment. and you can just keep going.

      There was me overcome with memories of articles in women's magazines from the 1950s advising their readers how to be a good housewife and thinking it's like feminism never happened. Until I read the last paragraph. Be warned, this is PR from someone who runs a cleaning company.

      Carpet can be a pain at times, the maintenance takes effort. I’ll look into that spray as a handy in-between for freshening things up. Steam cleaners are becoming more popular too and definitely seem more hygienic than a mop and bucket.

      BAD ADVICE FROM HOLLAND & BARRETT

      I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders
