Went on a gin distillery tour on Saturday. Surprising how easy it is to make.
If Toby Fairbrother can manage it, anyone can :D .

It seems 'Scruff' is a more reasonable price than the stuff we saw...

Needless to say, at 60 quid didn't buy a bottle

I was looking for the "shocked face" smiley, but it seems we haven't got one!

Anyone know where I can buy some ethanol?
Buy cheap vodka and search for bathtub gin recipes.

as well as those official smilies, you can use any emoji your device can generate.

eg 😲 🤯 (they will appear different on different devices)

What device are you typing on? If it's Windows, what version (eg 7, 8 etc)

I am on a PC at the moment, sometimes I am using an Android tablet. I can't remember what Windows I use, 8 maybe.

On Android, it should be easy. Look at your keyboard and there should be a little smiley face. Click that,and you will have a world of emojis at your fingertips. Just tap on them.

PC - as long as it's 8 or above, try this. If it's 7 or older, then don't bother.

Sorry to drag the thread back on track, but...

(Imagine a photo of a pint of Old Speckled Hen and some dry roasted peanuts which is too large for uploading)

Train delay beer while I decide whether to try and get home tonight in the face of another points failure or just stay in London.

Now imagine half a pint abandoned on the table because they've announced a train. No driver yet, so I may yet be looking at plan B...

In this situation the correct thing to do is to down the beer and abandon the dry-roast peanuts. In fact, dry-roast peanuts should be abandoned whatever the situation.

It answers lots of questions under "Find Out More" except how much it costs (unless I have missed something).
