Disaronno reminds me of chinese medicine.....

Not a fan of almonds. I don't hate them, but I'm certainly not willing to go out of my way to buy an alcoholised version of a nut I don't like the taste of

Dont get me wrong - I love sweet/fruity ciders but when it comes to whisky. its got to make me wonder why the fuck im drinking it in the first place rather then "hmmm, this isnt too bad..."

I've recently become a huge fan of Harvest Mead. Goes down a treat, not too alcoholic either, and you don't need much to feel suitably satisfied and relaxed. I've also recently taken to really enjoying Kwak belgian beer, and Lagunila Reserva red wine. Problem is, none of it is particularly cheap anymore...

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Well, you know i dont really touch beer. As for the wine i, i'll leave that for the ladies & the posh Harvard or Oxford intellectuals down at the country clubs.

Personally, im more into discovering whiskies - theres a shit load of them out there. I recently bought myself a Laphroaig single malt which is quite tasty.

I did recently try out 6 whiskies, 2 irish, 2 scottish, a welsh, and one brewed down in devon! The Irish one was a 19 year old, and tasted pretty great.

not Jameson's was it? I know you're quite fond of the stuff

I do enjoy my Jamesons, it's one of the few reasonably priced whiskeys that doesn't taste like fermented tar, but no, not a clue what it was, I'll check the bottle when I get home.

I can beat your awesome cut outs.

I have a wasps nest forming in my skylight (above a dog leg flight of stairs). I found a wasp crawling on my carpet this morning so when i got back from work i went into the attic to check for varmints up there. Fortunately the design of my century old house is so fucked up there seems no risk of invasion - I think they're contained. As I was coming back out of the attic I saw a flash of colour under some insulating material.

I though it might be a book or something. What I found was way more fun.

NSFW!!!

Spoiler

Needless to say - I don't have a VHS player...

I got one at work which we use to convert vhs to a digital format, just putting my services out there you know
As for a hive of wasps, I was expecting a picture of that! Way more exciting!
Anyone seen the three giant trampolines they've set up inside the slate caverns of Wales? They're held up by something like 3km of rope!

EDIT: I'm currently rather tempted to sell off my 1440p monitor and test out one of these 2560x1080 IPS monitors OCUK have some deals on. Spending less and less time on games and more and more watching movies and TV shows, and they look pretty swanky. Not to mention my desk doesn't have the real estate for two monitors at this point. Anybody remotely interested in a 1440p monitor for dirt cheap?

Price?

 

[RCoon]

Price?

Well it cost me a BenQ 24" + £120 as a trade, so I'd probably opt somewhere around the £140 range plus postage.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Does it come with the box and everything?

 

[RCoon]

Does it come with the box and everything?

Box, no, I only have the external plain cardboard box it was delivered in, as for powe cable and Dual DVI cable, yeah they will obviously be packaged.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

My heart says yes but my brain says its not practical

 

[RCoon]

its not practical

Probably not, but you're in the wrong hobby for practical

Here i am thinking about an upgrade just to run one 1440p monitor. As much as i want to burn £800-1000 on graphic cards, I dont think i have that kind of money

Been looking at the Silverstone GD09 to replace my current case with something a little more sleek. My only gripe is mounting my AIO might be tricky.
Idea is to put PC back on top of my desk and pop my monitor on top.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Your not the only one who wants a new case i tell ya. I want one just to mount a 280mm rad.
