A peripatetic plundering pulchritudinous polymath with abject alliteritis
Oooh I say!

61.1% ABV #Ardnahoe Society 2025 official bottling.

Rich bourbon. Oloroso/PX.

Oily. Sticky Coating Mouthfeel. Peat fire and unctuous nutty sherry notes.

Amped up to the top!

Spectacular Winter dram.

What???

A Ghanaian wise man? A very black wise man?

In contemporary UK?

Tis the stuff of fancy, foppishness, folly or fatuous frippery!

"The King Canute theory of inflation" invokes the 11th-C monarch who is purported to have tried — and failed — to control waves with words.

In another metaphor, central bankers are now akin to shamans, using verbal intervention to shape prices.

Truth is we know nothing and understand even less.

Incredibly delicious, by the by.

There's some 'flu each year.

This year is bad.

Where is the reserve capacity? The resilience? The lessons from Covid.?

About 0.3 million drop in consultant-led #NHS referrals between Sept 23 and Sept 25.

At this rate, it will be 15-20 years before waiting lists are appropriate.

Shameful sloth.

Dutch cheese.

I've never understood the fetishisation of 'cheese' in the Netherlands.

It's clearly never o'curd to them that their efforts are both undistinguished and unpleasant. No whey will I buy or taste any more!

Are the Greeks really three times more grubby and septic than are the Swedes?

I sm a septic sceptic!

More likely histrionic Mediterraneanism versus stoic Nordicism.

Swedes wash their hands incessantly, too.
