[The Barbarian]

One of the greatest pastimes imho..When ever i get the chance at a five finger shuffle really..

[Gordon Steadman]

I sometimes feel that I'm the only one on here who not only really likes his wife and still wants to share all life's pleasures with her.

So I don't have a 'man' cave or anything separate from Ronnie in the house at all. We own everything etc etc.

Why the hell bother being married if it isn't like that? Life really is too short and its the only chance you get:scratch:

[walpurgis]

Why the hell bother being married if it isn't like that?

I keep asking myself that.

The first couple of years were great, the following 38 not!

[The Barbarian]

I for one don't intend turning into my wife. I laid certain rules down from the start.. I especially stipulated that my music will come first in the relationship..

Same here, Gordon (with Del), but these days, we're the exception - and lucky!

I must be the only one that aint henpecked then..

[Marco]

Me too - far from it. If you allow that shit to happen, you're a mug.

Too many women try to 'mould you' into something that best suits their vision of self (and social) advancement, and if you allow yourself to fall into that trap, a whole world of pain awaits!

[The Barbarian]

Just on the Wagon Bev trying to diet. I can never do just one drink best doing none im safe then :D

[Ninanina]

Whisky.. I hate the stuff...unless it's mixed with coke then I love it... I know it's not quite the right thing to do to it...;)

[Roy S]

The Ledaig's ok but think I preferred the Asda Islay I had last week

[walpurgis]

Just some Holsten for me tonight. I'm up early tomorrow and off for a break, so not having much! :glug:

[struth]

Enjoy the hols mate.;) No bringing young things home mind:D

[walpurgis]

Enjoy the hols mate.;) No bringing young things home mind:D

No. I go round to their homes and they're a bit older than young things (but fun)! :lol:

[The Barbarian]

I only do whisky that is as brown as tea without milk.. First thing i look for, if it's light coloured i avoid it.

[Ninanina]

Can Sunday night be the new Saturday night ?? Just a thought..... :D:eek:

[struth]

any day is a good day when you're alive

[Ninanina]

any day is a good day when you're alive

That's good Grant... and I'm alive and kicking... :D

Sticking with the Ledaig tonight, drop more than last night, better try and stick to headphones :D

[walpurgis]

Not had a beer for a while and not been too well this week, so I thought I'd cheer myself up tonight with a drink. Just about halfway through my first lager. Cheers. :cool:

Ghastly stuff....was over at my neighbours last night and he plyed me with a german yeasted scottish beer and a smirnoff gold vodka(had bits of gold floating about in it) cinnamin as well.

Will them to your bank.

[Ninanina]

While I love lobster I do think that a fresh crab has more taste to be honest... I haven't tried 'Gurnard' but it is supposed to be very nice and sweet tasting.... I once hooked a Gurnard while fishing out on our sailing boat but was so put off with it's look I put it back... nasty looking little fella it was :D

[struth]

Not much into seafood myself...a bit of Salmon, or Haddock is about my stretch tbh. Plaice and Trout are ok. Smoked Haddies done in milk and an Aberdeen Buttery for breakfast is a luxury.

[Marco]

Your meal sounded nice - I could think of some nice wine to accompany that....


I love all seafood especially 'dive caught' scallops which my friend supplies to me.... :)

You probably mean hand-dived, and yes there is a difference in flavour between those and normal scallops. I believe that Geoff prefers his 'muff-dived'! :D

When my children were young we as a family had several holidays in Germany. One of the beers/lagers I liked very much was Warsteiner. Recently I've been buying three 660ml bottles for a fiver in Morrisons. I chill it to within an inch of it's life and then consume. :cool: Lovely jubbly.

That is some claim. There is a place local to me, well, its in Kinsale, called the Greyhound. Their guinness or beamish is like drinking double cream. Veeeery nice.

I've started making my own beer lately. So far all is going well. Going to start batch no. 3 as soon as all the ingredients arrive.

Actually with the second brew, and the next one up, I am going all extract. So sugar is only used in the bottle priming. Its great fun. I made an awful mess the first time, but last time it was a breeze.

[struth]

Have made beer when I was younger and some of it was rather good. Some were 'orrible as well.:lol: I mostly made wine tbh and I was pretty successful at it. made hundreds of bottles a year and lots of folk liked it. Elderberry was the most popular, and I did a tomato wine that came out as rose. It was an aquired tasted but sure was strong.. also made champagne and it was bloody good, although I overprimed it and had to put it out in the snow to calm it down..lol

Typical- got a pass this weekend from 'er indoors', but cannot go out as l have a viral infection and cold to top the whole lot off.:steam:

Probably why you got the pass :eyebrows:

Had a nice snooze to digest that awesome lasagne with trimmings backed up with a couple of glasses of vino.......

Time for a wee dram with lager chaser...usual staple tonight...JD and Tennents;)

[Roy S]

Well I've already fallen off the wagon today (I blame Eric Clapton) so might as well go out in style

Nice Roy. The Jura used to be one of my tipples when a malter....prefer Bourbon now, and JD, which I have just poured a large tot.

[Roy S]

Cheers Grant. Keep some JD in for my Cousin when he comes down, have to say it's a taste I've not acquired yet.

Guinness tonight for me. I regard it as medicine. There is probably something fundamentally wrong with that...

I am definitely joining in tonight... :D

[walpurgis]

I'm contemplating it. Not had a beer for a few days and quite fancy one.

[Ninanina]

Go for it Geoff.... :cool:

[Gazjam]

Saturday night and a few drams from a nice bottle of Highland Park single malt.
really enjoying the new preamp, veils lifted, next doors dog even noticed the difference etc... :)

[Ninanina]

I don't know why but my system has sounded super nice for the last few nights... maybe it's because I hadn't listened for a while and I had forgotten how good it really is... I have no idea but it does sound good at the mo.. :)

[Ninanina]

Just nicely chilled now... and tunes are sounding very good... maybe I should just forget about Tannoy's and be happy with what I have which I love for so many reasons.... having said that I am always looking for something different so maybe some Tannoy's may bring something to the table... who knows...

[walpurgis]

maybe some Tannoy's may bring something to the table... who knows...

These are lovely Bev. I'm keeping my eye on them, as I may bid if the price doesn't go silly. One of my big favourites and yes, I rate them more than the System 800. They're in Purley, about an hour and a bit from you. Proper pepperpot Tannoy HPD dual concentrics, they sound gorgeous. I've had five pairs.

Funny you should mention those Geoff as I have spotted a pair on Gumtree for not too much but the ratings are only 90dB which I don't know if my Oto will drive ok...

My 8 watt Arcana (Antique Sounds) valve monoblocks used to drive them LOUD!

By the way. They have rubber roll cone surrounds that never seem to wear out.

So the Oto should be ok then.... keep your hands off the Gumtree ones though as I've contacted the seller already !!! :)

[walpurgis]

Hope you get them. They may not be huge, but they are proper Tannoys!

[struth]

What does the Otto put out?

[Ninanina]

Hope you get them. They may not be huge, but they are proper Tannoys!

I will let you know what the seller comes back with... so they are considered 'proper' Tannoy's ??

[Ninanina]

What does the Otto put out?

Well about 10w Grant....

[struth]

Should fine. my kefs are 90 and the 16 w amp can get them very loud at half way

Think Geoffs ones look a lot better and are currently cheaper too

[Ninanina]

It's just that I am using super sensitive Klipsch at the moment, about 97dB, so I am basing my thoughts on that..and 90dB sounds a bit low for the Oto..

[walpurgis]

A 7db variance is barely audible Bev. You'd notice little between the Klipsch and Tannoys.

Thanks Geoff for the info... I will probably make an offer on the Eatons...

Through the important mid and top they sound exactly like the bigger HPDs and the Monitor Golds and image just the same too. They use the same compression horn tweeter. They don't have the bass extension of the bigger units, but that's all, but they don't sound short of bass or impact by any means. It's a ten inch driver, that's bigger than most people have ever used.

The Eatons use the HPD 295A drive unit. Which is basically a 12" Monitor Gold fitted with a narrower 10 inch chassis and (backdoped) cone with rot proof surrounds. What's not to like?

[struth]

Time for a drink..I sure need one :eyebrows: Been a tough day and I am enjoying a JD with Bud chaser, while watching a very enjoyable old B&W film.

Well I've joined you. I need a beer. The wife and daughter are having a battle, so I'm tucking myself out of the way with a drinkie, whilst they rant at each other and I'm not getting involved or referreeing. Don't know why they bother, the daughter always wins (she's like me). :lol:

Yep, if anything there's more going out than going in at the moment (it was the opposite last week) & the downstairs cludgy's broke. Bit of Ted always makes me smile :)

[Ninanina]

Glad your stent is working ok Roy.... ;)

Not drinking Scotch at the moment but might get a bottle for later if I see it and can afford....
