    Unusual question regarding vintage Jack Daniels.

    Ok, I'll take onboard the notion that spirits do not mature in the bottle. This is re-iterated on the Courvoisier web site and they also suggest that the opened spirit should be consumed within 12 months (but of course they would!). :) The one I had was given to my dad when he toured the Remy...

    The Taste of a City!

    I must admit I'm not a great fan of Ivars, I've been there twice. Once about 15 years ago and the food was good enough but when we got back to the UK found that they had charged our credit card twice. We got our money back after a lot of hastle. I was in Seattle again this year and decided to...

    Unusual question regarding vintage Jack Daniels.

    There is a cognac on the market "L'Espirit de Courvoisier" that is made up of various vintages starting at the youngest being 70 years old going right back to some from the Napoleonic era. You don't have to worry about the few decades old spirts. I currently retails for $7000 a bottle. Of...

    Laid Off...

    That is crappy news. What is it with employers over there that like to do this at Xmas?? Another of out members has just been laid off too and it's also with the same fantastic timing! I'm sure you'll get back soon and that the employment laws over there made them pay through he nose for...

    The Taste of a City!

    That's sad, it's not like they are the most expensive thing in the world. My mum discovered some chestnut trees recently and we ended up with buckets full! As for liquor in pie and mash shops... it reminds me of my Canadian cousin. He came over and i sent him away with an oystercard and said go...

    The Taste of a City!

    When talking about Hong Kong I completely forgot about a huge area... street food! Whilst you have to be careful where you go and really soft western stomachs many not be able to cope with the local fauna. The night street markets have an amazing selection from stirfried cockles to different...

    The Taste of a City!

    Mouthwatering thread Hem! It's really difficult choosing one dish in some cities because in some places they just go lot's of food so well. But let me try. In San Francisco, you're right the dungeness crab is amazing, I like the Crab House upstairs at Fishermans' Wharf they do a garlic...

    A strange thing just happened on ebay

    If it's something like hats or whips :) there's a small hardcore of interested parties and it interesting to see who you are bidding against. Putting the bidder 1, 2, 3 takes a lot of the fun out of it. You don't know if your arch nemesis is bidding and cannot gauge the level of bid you need to...

    London Struck By Tornado: Everybody Safe?

    We've had some weird weather today, the lashing rain and sunshine as noted above plus a bit of hail thrown in for good measure. Looking at the map the tornado happened about 6-7 miles from me as the crow flies. I was in Derby when another struck there a few months ago, someone's trying to...

    'Das Boot' Jacket

    ofelas Now, I'm a big fan of Peter and Gemma and I have met them both. Wested is a very small concern and they sometime get swamped with orders especially this time of year, they've just done the Halloween rush and are now in the last throes of the Chrismas rush. They are also an ageing company...

    Merged Hatter Thread

    Sorry to see you leave. I know you already have more work than you need so the link was not important to you, it was the principle. I don't see why vendors can't have a link to their site in their sigs. Everyone else does it that way, it's par for the course. If the site needs advertisers all...

    Casino Royale

    Is does show how much Bond means to us Brits. That amount translates to approx US$25.73m, which is huge when you look at it against to the US takings considering the much bigger market. The producers still will chalk this up as a considerable success seeing as thay also spent so much less on...

    Casino Royale

    I haven't had a chance to see it yet. So cannot comment on the film. But I just took a little dig around as to box office. In the UK "Casino Royale" took more than twice as much on it's first day as "Die Another Day" did. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6157066.stm The first weekend...

    Meltonian - is it "Kiwi Select"?

    This is the question I was asking a little while ago on COW. They are great fans of Meltonian over normal "tin" Kiwi. It is a brand name I've come across in th UK so you can buy it here, maybe in some of the older style department stores. Matei, they might sell it in Johnson shoes in...

    A strange thing just happened on ebay

    I haven't got any live auctions. But on the old ones it just says bidder 1, 2, 3 etc. You can't even see who won. It may just be UK for now. :(

    A strange thing just happened on ebay

    There's been a massive change to the way bidders ar listed on ebay. You can no longer see their screennames any information about them apart from how many item the have next to their name and you cant see what they have bought either, apart from vague listings. How are you supposed to know...
