Gawd almighty ! What legitimate reason can a company have for selling that stuff ?
That would be a nightmare in UK. We have a major problem with under-age drinking anyway especially with things called alcopops which are specifically targeted by unscrupulous companies. They of course twist and try to avoid responsibility but continue to sell them anyway. They have been banned from advertising on tv. That stuff must go down well with the derelicts, sold in brown paper bags no doubt.
Available off the shelf here. It is made/marketed for young folks that know no better....but soon will from the morning after. I must admit I had more than my share back in those days. Today it would stop my heart cold and leave me in the street......face down.

Haha! Jungle juice. Never tried it, but seen people to' up off it.

While we are on the topic of alcohol, anybody try absinthe? It's legal now in california, any good?

I think the "proof" thing is the other way round. Your version I think is how gunpowder is proved. I could have invented the whole thing of course. Wouldn't you rather believe my version ?

Well, mornin all. Today is one of those days when I wish I lived somewhere else. texas - you will laugh at this - Its so foggy, I cant see my feet and, to make matters worse, the fog is coming off the North Sea so it is as cold as a witch's tit or should I say ta ta. I am supposed to take a photo of my car [dont know why but wilco] Was going to wash it as it is plastered in Moor mud but I thought if they cant take a joke they should get out of the kitchen [I seem to have mixed a saying or two there] To make matters worse, I am on duty this weekend in the Dales Park [duty - I am a volunteer ranger in the park just like Ranger Smith in Jellystone]
So, tramping across foggy, wet, cold moors trying to locate some stiles and bridges I am supposed to survey - not quite my idea of heaven on earth [ tee hee - might spend the day in the Tan Hill pub instead - although even getting to there will be an adventure as I think there is snow up there too]
So, Texas, if you tell me that it is 70 degrees in southern Texas, I will sacrifice a sheep to the Norse gods and call down a curse on you.
Reading back over yesterday's posts, i think I over-reacted to Everclear but it still sounds horrific.
Still, the weather is very bracing and character forming - just what made Britain great. The poor man's version of a cold shower.

What do you pack your column with ? Best stuff is broken house bricks [cleaned of course]. This give you good fractionation. here's another idea - contact a laboratory supply dealer and ask about Aldershaw columns. I did not suggest this, I was never here.

Then chase the sheep and ready the magic potion!

Right ! Here it comes. May your cattle be infected with boils and your goats with foot rot, may your dogs all get pregnant and give birth to kittens ! There ! Serves you right.

Just a try on for when I upload picture of car. View from my window. That's the North Sea on horizon.
