h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

How dare you speak such utter nonsense, and I quote "sometimes referred to as bourbon, a foul piece of undrinkable stuff"

Jack Daniels and Jim Beam are the bees knees!

I can't even sniff Whisky without erging, but Whiskey.... ahhh lovely jubbly!!

Boaaahh. That's disgusting! Bourbon makes me sick to the stomach.

Thats because you have a "womans" stomach!!!!

Ha!!! no metal...thats your problem!!

You need to be taught a thing or two about real drinking!!!

Your be telling me next that Cigars are smelly and nasty!!! Corr!!

Cigars are nice! A nice big juicy Corona is always a treat! Bourbon still sucks, it is a foul, nasty liquid. So there.

Jim Beam and a Corona!!!

There in no better combination on a warm summers evening as the BBQ loosens its grip on its last glowing embers....



So there back!

Eeeeww! If you're the host, I'll just have a medium to rare beef, a pint and the cigar. If all you have is bourbon, I'll just work it out with the beer...

You will do no such thing around my gaff!

I would feed you medium to rare steak with a little side salad and home made mayonnaise, then perhaps for afters, a large slice of fresh fruit brulee topped with glazed brown sugar. Mabe a beer or two.

And then after we have admired the fish in my pond for a while, then and only then do I break the seal on my Havana’s and indulge in a Jim Beam or three!

(I may have a cheap bottle of Whisky somewhere in the cabinet)

(Best John Cleese imitation) "And so as a BLASPHEMER!!!! you are to be stoned to death."

Fair enough!

I'll just finish my sandwich if you don't mind!

Owwww, and can you try and get the smooth round stones rather than those nasty jagged pointy ones?

*Listens ti Sid's squeeky voice and frowns.* Are there any women here today?

Ooooooo.... below the belt!

Its a good job your there and I'm here otherwise.... well just otherwise.....

It's alright Mr Duke, its obvious and understandable that you can make the mistake of confusing me as a women... it just reflects your experience in that department!

I forgive you...Ha!

*Sticks hand up*

*weak Michael Palin voice*

erm... I like the MaCallan - not sure about the cigar though

Well thats alright, I'll save yours for Ron.

Having a womans stomach for whisky?

Get outta here!

P.S.

Se "Knockando" for further reference to my comment. Me be female, y'see.

The Macallan is ok. A bit too sweet for me, but a nice introduction to single malts for a newbie.

Sid, you are right. My experience of men who sound like women are extremely limited. Is there a scottish single malt we can agree upon, and hust leave it at that? Cheers!

Milord, may I suggest the aforementioned Knockando? A lovely Speyside single-single malt with the most delicate and yet smokey flavour!

It just so happens that I brought home with me a bottle of Knockando from Bologna, Italy. I came home about an hour ago and I have just taken a first zip for try-out. I think it's a nice Speyside, although a bit too weak an afterburner than I prefer. I've also got a Talisker, a Cardhu and a Laphroaig. I tried the Cardhu dwon in Bologna, and it was a huge disappointment. I'm lucky to have the Laphroaig and Talisker to back it up...

Talisker is very good, the other one I must admit not having tried.

Are you sure it's not just the 12-year Knockando? It can be a bit weak...

It's a twelver, yes it is.

Drop by my place someday and I may grant you a taste from my 1969-bottle.

Maybe...
