Morning Otters
I got up BEFORE EIGHT O'CLOCK! On a Saturday!

I have already taken delivery of two bottles of a new Islay Malt and now I'm at a bit of a loss - I expected to have to wait in most of the day for Parcelforce and now I'm free to do whatever I want any old time.

What are you up to this Saturday?

Alt: Can I come?

You can come if you bring a bottle.
I'm just off to town to buy maps of South Pennines for BGB's bash.

It's mine all mine!
2 bottles of Caol Ila Moch. I've also got a bottle of Ardbeg Blasda but that's for a mate's 40th - ironically, I just read a review that says "Moch is the whisky that Blasda should have been". Briefly thought of swapping the bottles over but then figured "screw him".

The problem with reading online reviews of whisky is you just end up reading about other whiskies - blog.thewhiskyexchange.com/2011/02/whisky-tasting-notes-caol-ila-moch/ just makes me want to go into town and pick up a bottle of the Hedonism Maximus.

That's whisky porn.
I'll be looking at that later.

Toodle pip.

I've just got home.
Top tip kids. If someone says to you, 'lets get on the Old Bristolian cider'.

Don't. Just go home. Leave it well alone.

Fuck my head hurts.

What will you be drinking tonight then Jeff?
GOOD MORNING JEFF. ARE YOU FEELING DELICATE?
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Sat 9 Apr 2011, 9:10, Reply)

I will be drinking tonight
If not, sooner. I'm tempted with the idea of a quick bottle of Stella and then going to bed.

Yes, I'm feeling a tad rough, but it's nothing that some sleep won't sort out.

That's how I roll.

This behaviour is simply heroic.
I hope you have left your body to medical science. Or Bulmers.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Sat 9 Apr 2011, 9:14, Reply)

I hear they're going to be producing a "Jeff-Aged" cider shortly.
Well, he is.

My pain comes from drinking here.

Oi.
Who have you got today?

(I've retired to my pit now, I've got the GP qualification on and I'm going to have a snooze)
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 9 Apr 2011, 9:20, Reply)

The Mackems
We haven't lost in 5 and won last week; they've got 1 point from their last 7 games and lost 5-0 last week; our only clean sheet this season came in our home game against them last year when Odemwingie's goal won it 18 hours after signing for us.

So all the omens suggest we'll get spanked. How about you?
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Sat 9 Apr 2011, 9:24, Reply)

Barnsley away.
A 0-0 will be a good result. It's one of those games we can easily lose.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 9 Apr 2011, 9:27, Reply)

if you can't win against barnsley
you might as well fucking give up.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 9 Apr 2011, 9:57, Reply)

I forgot you have Hodgson now. I still think he's an utter cunt for stringing us up at the start of the season.
Small matter of a game at Old Trafford today, I can't think of anything I care about less. Just give them a 2-0 bye and be done with it.

Hard to turn down Liverpool I suspect
but it worked out well for us :)

We drew with Manure at theirs, no reason you can't too.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Sat 9 Apr 2011, 9:43, Reply)

Don't blame him at all for going.
It's the manner in which he did it. "I'm not leaving"....then ten days before the start of the season he fucks off leaving us in the lurch.
(Barry from Eastenders is, despite the words written above, not a woman, Sat 9 Apr 2011, 9:54, Reply)

We've had the same with TonyMowbray
When we went down last time, he was playing up the "Loyalty is important" to stop our best players leaving. Week before the season starts, Celtic come knocking and off he goes... Mind you, di Matteo was a pretty impressive replacement.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Sat 9 Apr 2011, 10:10, Reply)

You should have appointed Steve Coppell.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 9 Apr 2011, 11:44, Reply)

As opposed to Hughes?
Don't think Coppell is Premiership material really.

I got up at 6 to go with mr b3th to a boot sale
a rather stupid behaviour that I will be repeating tomorrow. Now it feels like almost lunch time, but in reality it's only just past getting up time.

I have no plans for today other than 'chill the fuck out'.

So, how was Saturday? Can you tell me who won the Grand National?
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 9 Apr 2011, 11:32, Reply)

I have no idea who one the grand national. Mainly cos I don't know what it is.
Saturday was good. I"m the only one at uni on my half of the floor tonight. woooooo. quiet!
(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 9 Apr 2011, 11:35, Reply)

Oh, excellent! You might get some sleep then.
The Grand National is our big horse race that's on this afternoon - like the Melbourne Cup. It's the one everybody has a bet on. I just figured since it's already Saturday night there, you might know who the winner was...
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 9 Apr 2011, 11:39, Reply)

I can't tell if you're being serious or joking there with that comment about knowing who the winner is.
If you're being serious, then no, I don't know.

Due to a cheaper than expected night, I'm going to be slapping £5 on Ballabriggs, as soon as I can be bothered to leave the house.

I've made what AA would call a cowboy pork casserole*
cubed 3 pork loin steaks and browned them in bacon fat. Removed them from the pan and put in 3 shallots, a turnip, a leek and a red pepper all chopped up. Browned them with some garlic, 2 different kinds of mustard, mushroom ketchup and worcestershire sauce. Added it all to the slow cooker with a pack of passata, a couple of glasses of Barolo, some dried mushrooms, sage, basil, thyme and rosemary.

Now to leave it for 4-5 hours and cross my fingers.

*and what everybody else calls "cooking"
