Morning all. Decent squad, especially if there's a few ill/injured.

Morning all Snow and gales overnight and internet only just restored - probably not for long but with you in spirit (12 yo Macallan) just for Ramdini.........

Mc Donald & Mitchell-Lawson on the bench.
Got 2 out of 3 right

Accrington are doing well after promotion to Div 1. which must mean they are playing well. Snuff them out Derby. Good to see Frank is decisive on wanting to win by the team selection. I hope they aren't complacent.

Eaten haggis and it isn't bad. I like whisky but fail to understand this trend for smoky tasting whiskies. Like drinking kipper juice. My eldest son bought me a bottle of Teeling Irish whiskey for Xmas. Much more preferable than something distilled in an ash tray.

I think it's the nicest. Drunk in a balloon glass like a cognac. Cheers Heb - If I could send one by e-mail - I would.

Laphraoig and its Isla ilk an acquired taste certainly but worth persevering........

Ey up

Spart, I too don't enjoy smoky whiskies - That's why I like MacAllen - its Speyside whisky and they are not smoky.

No it's not, it's horrible. The flavour comes from products of incomplete combustion, hence full of toxic chemicals.

Alright Wellies

Indeed, full of goodness........

I've lost my legally fluid streaming channel. Is nothing sacred in sport anymore.

Eeek, early kick-off. BT Sport

It's a preservative because the PICs kill the microbes because they are toxic. You don't drink disinfectant.

We do!

Is Ramdini's real name "The Galloping Gourmet"?

Think he trots more than gallops nowadays.
