Genie Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 A beautiful crockery set? (Not kidding here.) Posh bone china, not for everyday use. Gimp mask? A couple of great suggestions to get the ball rolling We do already have a set of nice crocks 'for best' and I've lost count of how much of my S&M gear goes unused these days I'm thinking about maybe for engraved crystal glasses? Not really my kind of think and will just be a dust magnet for the next 50 years but can't think of much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Being out of the UK I have been able to rekindle my love affair with Mountain Dew. Not sure why Labour implemented the great Dew purge of 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I almost hate myself for saying this, but if you pretend that we will rock you and we are the champions never actually happened then Queen are quite a good band, arent they? Innuendo is a fantastic album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted January 5, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2011 Coke is the real deal, always has been or the whole world has got it wrong. The drink that I really crave for and have been for a while is Lucozade, can´t buy it here for some reason (the stuff you get from people when you are in hospital). Needs to be ice cold though.Carbonated soft drinks are all shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted January 5, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2011 Reading Empires review of True Grit, I noticed they wrote 'a homage'. Now, I always thought it was 'an homage'. It also reminded me of 'a hotel' whereas some people claim it's 'an hotel'. What exactly are the rules in regards to words like this? I always presumed it was if the 'h' was silent thus meaning a verb was the first word 'spoken', then it would be 'an' and vice versa.Some words beginning with "h" always have a silent "h" - hour, heir, honour. I believe that "homage" and "hotel" once fell into this category, but in more recent times (don't know why) people have started pronouncing the "h", hence the confusion. Homage and hotel both derive from French, where the initial "h" is silent. I guess we haven't really decided whether or not we've anglicised them.

But it really shocks me when I see people guzzling litre bottles of the stuff on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 That's true, I don't guzzle coke down like water, but I can quite easily down countless cups of coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbonated soft drinks are all shit. Don't sit on the fence I can't really drink alcohol any more(Not AA or anything more because of Meds), not much more than 1 or 2 to be honest so not much choice really in the old drinks department. If I am downstairs in my study I always let tea / coffee go cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Why does Coke or Pepsi taste better out of a glass bottle? Dunno, maybe it cools itself as it rolls towards you. In plastic it does not do this and also picks up the plastic taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am downstairs in my study I always let tea / coffee go cold. Fair point. When I went a year without booze (2003, just to prove I could do it), the big problem was what to drink when I was out with friends in the pub. I don't really like fruit drinks, so I did sometimes have Coke. But generally, I'd go for water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Why does Coke or Pepsi taste better out of a glass bottle? In Wales, west side (safe) you can buy a classic Coke, old school. Best Coke I've tasted but only ever seen it there and nowhere else. Straight out the bottle. Cool story no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
