Visitors from Adelaide - I cooked a big Beef bourguignon over two days with kipfler spuds and a bottle or two of Rufus Stone

Rufus Stone is underrated - amazing value

Tyrrell's Rufus Stone is an excellent example of Heathcote Shiraz at a reasonable price. A rich, balanced wine of deep magenta colour with liquorice and white pepper aromas. Intense dark plum flavours are given a subtle lift from the well judged French oak. Better than ever!

All stories of Biblical proportion require that the protagonist change his name.

For consistency I suggest yours should be The_Gooman.

Giving away my shoos would bve my greatest challenge. l can give away my house and live in a cave (no worries mate), and l can give away my clothes and my car and other stuff, but giving away my shoos will kill me...it's a sign l still have alot of spiritual growth ahead and are still a merely an animal that has a long way to go. l would like to keep at least one or two Vass and maybe a bespoke shoo to keep in the cave with me, but l realise l can't make compromises like that, l need to grow properly and move beyond the need to keep material possessions of any kind.

On Typhoo at the moment after finishing Tetley's - both on special offer. I used to just stick Sainsbury'e Red Label or other Red Labels but have had decent results with other stuff noticeably Yorkshire Tea.

It is pot luck really, some brands lose consistency after a while. I look for a good rich colour and a big tannin hit.

shooey - have you told those girls on Tony's NSFW thread that you are a:

REAL Australian WOMBAT = Eats, Roots, Shoots and Leaves

(small Oz joke for shooey)

Life doesn't have to be shitty, just choose to be happy instead.
l am happy. Now you be happy too. Like this

Chill man....and put a smile on your dial. There is no need to let my lifestyle bother you, just be happy instead. Do this , now!

^Those Clifford Brown tracks really hit the spot Maxi. Having a large jazz collection is extremely useful at present; have the fear that only a drink can alleviate? Just put on 'Ole Coltrane'. Wanna' relax after an extremely tired day at work, just put on some Johnny Smith Quintet.  Anyway, clean living is not so bad actually, and the long term progonosis is good. The liver can recover, once the juice that is poisoning it is removed and damage also can be contained. I've two months of sobriety and a low fat diet and then I find out.

l know a bloke who was pissing dark brown piss because his livered was buggered. He gave up drinkin' for a while and got back to normal. Still, when things get better it's best to take it easy in future.
