What they are saying at Arden Street

[Deemania since 56 6,231]

With filtered ice and a drop of water, all whiskies are ripper, in their own ways.

Brandy is superior.

Definitely going to have to try this. I'm all about the Pinot/red wine casks.

Been meaning to join the Whisky club for years. More than happy to get a decent whisky each month for reasonable $. 

You can opt out each month too. We do t get them every month but occasionally get a real nice bottle as an add in.

Nah.

[whatwhat say what 19,667]

to bring it back to the topic at hand...

• With no proper chf
  May, lever and Tomlinson are going to destroy larkey and get a intercept mark record

 

• Clarko's first squad since returning, and the following things are notable:
  • Cunnington in
  • Turner not dropped (at least not immediately - still listed in squad)
  • McDonald and Stevenson still named as starting on the field
  • Not that it matters greatly, but Sheezel named in the Centre is interesting
  • Tucker named in the forward line - believe that might be a first?
  • No Cooper Harvey

• Anyone that pays attention to where people are named on the field is an [censored]. People who actually have the ability to pay attention know we do stupid things like name Powell at CHB. Its all cause our media department run a weekly comp to name the team, so we make the correct answer obscure. But you know, anyone with such a great ITK that tells you Noble wasn't getting sacked right before he got sacked would know what the club actually does.

• 40 points is just about party time territory. Last time we played these lads, in a 90 point loss, I high fived a bloke in front of me who was the only North fan in a Godees entourage. We were both delighted at everyone's fury that the margin ended up being under 100. Only time I'll ever be content with such a ****house performance
   

gotta say, love that last one - i remember feeling like that just a decade or so ago!

On the roos equivalent of dl, there's probably a very meta thread about the what they are saying arden st thread on dl that has devolved into a thread about high end whiskey, which as they rightly suggest could only happen on mfc related forum.

They have no concern about this game. They’re talking whiskey for gods sake. We are a joke! 😂

'They could care less about how to contain larkey, they're too busy arguing about Japanese whiskey v Scottish whiskey, and whether the 2003 range rover could be considered a classic'

Further to this… last night Sophie (one of our three AMAZING leaders) told me that in 2013 if we lost a match by anything under five goals the cheer squad would sing the song. 😢

In that era I would consider anything under a 10 goal loss as a moral victory.

Fast forward to round seven this year and some Demonlanders were upset that we beat North by ONLY 90 points!!! 🙃

Both of those do not exist… only whiskey with the e comes from Ireland or the US iirc, Japan and Scotland it’s whisky. It’s to do with the grains used. See, learning is fun with whisky! 😃😃😄😄

Imagine our percentage if we beat them by 120 back then 😂

I'd really hate to be an MFC fan that gets stereotyped.

Talisker for me

Although if I'm going to nurse a fair few,  a good speyside malt like the Balvenie is hard to go past

Love the Speyside single malts. 

Do yourself a favour and get on the Macallan 12 y.o sherry cask. Sweetness.

For sure. Macallan is high class. I don't believe I've had the Shery cask but have had a few bottles over the years

Is it bad for the stereotype that I agree with old about brandy? (Well cognac actually).

Talisker is my clan whiskey and from loyalty to the fine folk of Skye, is difficult to sidestep when buying a bottle of scotch.
