  1. No joy I'm afraid.. there seem to be memory issues regarding the name, but the sight of the bottle has stirred some vague sense of nausea! we had a quick Google of bottle designs and limited runs of the stuff.. nothing with the same bottle, a few close to it but not the exact one! Will you thank her I thought it was a long shot really. Strangely enough I also suffer from memory problems and nauseous bouts linked to alcohol consumption now and again. BTW, the lower stars (3 star) are supposedly considered more drinkable than the five and sevens, or so I'm told, should she want another go at it.
  2. Rum? I thought Metaxa was brandy?
  3. It's an acquired taste for sure. Some are better than others. i don't suppose she'd have any idea of a name that I could search? Per chance. This lot are going to need proof, they're adamant it's whiskey
  4. I found this in the back of the cupboard and can't identify it. Does anyone recognise the bottle? I think it's Metaxa, but we've three votes for whisky, all from non whiskey drinkers. I'm discounting whiskey because 1) I've never seen any whiskey in a bottle like it and; 2) I very much doubt I'd leave a bottle of whiskey half drunk.
  5. Create a routine, setting regular time aside to study and don't allow anything to interfere with it. Be really (OCD ) organised when researching, you may search loads of sites and articles finding bits of info and then when you need to reference them again you can't find them. Make a note what info the site/article contains, so when you need it it's easy to find. I'm really bad at labelling files and spent hours, literally, searching for things I knew I needed to reference, often just to write a single sentence in a submission.
  6. A Terrible person Marcus!
  7. 'Engine runs' Gearbox knackered.
  8. ' Much loved' I've owned it for years and years, but now it's uneconomical to mend again. - so I'm getting what I can from it towards a new one.
  9. If that's true, you're better informed than me. But your argument fails a bit flat if you look back at the Bartletts poplar fell across the road. AAC to boot
  10. Aren't this crew employed by an LA? So I'd assume that all the staff were suitably qualified etc?
  11. You could argue that the criminal justice system is the biggest problem that allows these issues to continue.
  12. I'm only an Honary Northerner, although some may dispute that title. I was born in London Btw. How much have had to drink. Tomorrow's xmas eve, or is Cornwall on the other side of the International date line now?
  13. To be honest, even a competent experienced climber who watches some of the videos rigging with x-rings and the such like and then thinks he'll go out and rig out the same sort of sizes the next day is a bit of a tool anyway. you can't teach stupid and they'll cock up one way or another without watching YouTube.
  14. Hi Toad, I wasn't planning on making an access anyway, just interested in what was involved. But it thank you for the offer.
  15. Did you read my post about killing the wife? That was second phase of the first plan!
  16. Last time you got together at GM he turned into a lightweight didn't he?
  17. Surfing with Kevin in Cornwall? Or overthrowing the ParishCouncil?
  18. And why not! Put the barby on and stock up the beer fridge.
  19. It's all right, I killed the first one!
  20. I just can't help myself with some little old lady though! (Maybe I should clarify that before Mark jumps in)
  21. Tell em as much as you want but they don't take no heed. I should know, I've married two of them!
  22. Your not far away, so when I'm back on me feet I'd like to nip over and put a face to the name (although going by your posts I might get led astray and live to regret it)
  23. Nothing generous, you take us as you find us. Lots of people have helped me out in my life which I appreciated so it's all just give and take.
  24. Best to you too Eggs and don't forget if your travels lead you up here, the doors always open, kettles on, there's food in the fridge and there's a bed somewhere.
  25. Was this an existing road access or a new one? Just wondering about the hoops you'd have jump through with the HA to get a new one
