Tesco will despatch from depots outside Scotland so they can continue their offers.<br /><br />So will everyone else.<br /><br />Therefore, if you work in any form of booze warehouse in Scotland, start looking for alternative employment.<br /><br />Nobody is going to keep their depots in Scotland now.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-35138977389531228292011-10-01T02:51:55.285+01:002011-10-01T02:51:55.285+01:00Well... the more the price goes up, the more attra...Well... the more the price goes up, the more attractive homebrew becomes. Unregulated, no idea of the strength, no idea of what additional fermentation compounds are produced, homebrew.<br /><br />Deadly rocket-fuel, in other words.<br /><br />During my undergraduate years in microbiology, I blasted many a party with a well-trained yeast. Beer at wine strength isn't just possible, it's easy. And very cheap.<br /><br />I know what I'm doing with these fermentations. Many don't, but the act of setting up a fermentation is a doddle. What comes out the other end could be, in the hands of the amateur, absolutely deadly.<br /><br />Every Glasgow bedsit will soon have a plastic bin, barely disinfected, festering away with some vile brew or other.<br /><br />Well done, Salmond. Well done indeed. See you, you tube, you're pure dead stupid, so y'are.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-35437491430556503522011-10-01T01:01:08.711+01:002011-10-01T01:01:08.711+01:00It is so 'taking the piss' for some 'e...It is so 'taking the piss' for some 'expert' (usually a woman) to suggest the following. If I drink one bottle of wine a week, and see a 2 for 1 offer, it means I will drink two bottles a week.<br /><br />Now, if I drink two bottles a day, does this mean that I will drink four bottles a day? No. Whether I drink one bottle a month or ten bottles week, it just means that there is an easing of my cashflow.<br /><br />However much I drink, it will not change. The only thing the 'expert' (usually a woman) can change is the health of my wallet, not my liver.timbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985165416240833253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-43334527594988464422011-09-30T17:12:02.151+01:002011-09-30T17:12:02.151+01:00...failure is the lifeblood of the neo-prohibition...<i>...failure is the lifeblood of the neo-prohibitionists..... They'd be out of a job if the perceived crisis disappeared. Their motto is: "That didn't work, let's do it again."</i><br /><br />Pure gold. For people who like to point the finger at others perceived shortcomings, they have a curiously amoral view of their own.wriggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12373644421447147066noreply@blogger.com
