OT: Nanny State strikes again

[Dave Plowman (News)]

The reason you can't taste pure alcohol is because it has burnt your taste buds. Or fried your brain.

[whisky-dave]

Don't know much about this either do you.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

I'm quite willing to believe you regularly consume pure alcohol and that it tastes like water to you.

[whisky-dave]

Just goes to show how easily some are fooled.

[harry]

You really are brain dead aren't you?

You don't even have the wit to check your facts before replying.

Now I am retired, I drink my own 9% gear at 20p a pint, tax free.

[Andy Burns]

With a screen-wash chaser?

[swldxer1]

That is actually car shampoo.

[Tim Streater]

Why d'ye have all those bags of cat litter?

[whisky-dave]

I didn't think you were that fussy, our local hospital has had people nicking the hand washes to drink.

[Andy Burns]

For home-made casting sand?

[John Rumm]

That is several lifetime's supply of car shampoo!

[Tim Streater]

Casting gold ingots is he?

[swldxer1]

Sainsbury's bloke brings a job lot of 12 bags to save me carrying them.

[Tim Streater]

You got lots of cats then?

[Andy Burns]

Are you suggesting he is 'Basil'?

[Tim Streater]

Basil Fawlty?

[Andy Burns]

no, the Hatton Gardens gang

[Tim Streater]

Well I dunno. What else might he be casting? Engine blocks for Triumph Stags?
