    mchlorine reacted to Sonny in Malt Whisky. Any Advice?   
    There are a couple I would recommend to you. The following choices are based on they are easy to purchase and won't cost you a mortgage.
    Old Pulteney 12 yo  - I bought a bottle four years ago in Tesco who always have excellent special offers with at least one brand selling at a great reduction. I bought it because I had read how good it was and the next day I discovered it had just been voted World Whisky of the Year. Distilled in Wick with a 'maritine' taste. Tesco have it on offer just now at £24 instead of £30.
    If you really want to try something completely different try Laphroaig. Most (but not all) Islay malts are extremely peaty and like Marmite some love them (me) and some hate them (my mate). Tesco are selling Laphroaig Select just now for £25 reduced from £36. Their standard 10yo is available at £25 reduced from £33.50 which is my staple diet.
    And my third choice would be Singleton of Dufftown which is probably the smoothest whisky I have ever tasted. Available in Tesco for £25 reduced from £33.50.
    And no I do not work for Tesco. I come from Paisley and like a bargain

    My advice is don't buy it in the Lebanese restaurant in Johannesburg!
    I saw a whisky on the menu - a bottle cost £6,400.
    It may have been Royal Lochnigar - I may have the name wrong but the one from Priince Charles estate near Balmoral.
    By the way - Try Deanston

    He talks a lot more sense after the game than shull does. i like that they are doing a mini-preseason next week to top up fitness levels and work on things due to the Morton game being postponed.
    Jack Ross might not have been my first pick to give the St Mirren job to, but I've agreed with most of what he has said since being given the job.

    Similar things have happened to me over the years.
     
    Alex Ferguson asked me to play up front for Scotland at Mexico 1986 but due to being a pensioner I had to decline.
     
    Alex Smith asked me to play up front in the 1987 cup final with the express instruction to score the winner during extra time.  I politely declined due to being a pensioner and said "why don't you get yon Ian Ferguson to do it".  I am unsure If Alex Smith listened.
     
    Danny Lennon asked me to sit on the bench at the league cup final 2013 with the instruction "If we are 3-2 up you can come on and play centre half as I don't seem to like playing Lee Mair for whatever reason".  Again I had to decline on account of being a pensioner.
     
    I did once spot a young fresh faced 21yr old striker playing for Johnstone Burgh.  Francis McAvitie or something was his name.  I told the Saint Mirren professional football club pte ltd co about him at the time, I am unsure how that worked out. 
     
    SD and I are like peas in a pod!

    We desperately need Quinn back, he's easily our best central midfield player.

    Terrible performance, Central midfield a huge worry for us, far too slow and nobody willing to put there foot on the ball and take responsibility.


    Rae needs a major rethink about his tactics, very very poor.

    Personally I don't think the membership system is going to work out long term and I would much rather have had a mix of members and pay on the day punters rather than exclusively members.
    That said, I am really pleased the space has been kitted out as I am sure it will be able to generate revenue for the club over and above matchdays just as the corporate suite does. It will be able to cater for events that the corporate suite can't and that can only be a good thing in my opinion.
    I'm sure if the numbers aren't stacking up after a while then the membership system may change.
    I've signed up, really only to help get it off the ground and get it done. If I find I don't like it or I'm not using it then I'll cancel my subscription. The £50 I'll have invested up front will have helped to get the place built. I'll be quite happy to write that investment off if I find the place isn't for me on a week to week basis.
    Same reason I give SMiSA a membership subscription every month. I don't agree with everything they do, but I accept the guys running the show are doing their level best and have the aim of helping the club. Same as the fans council guys do.
    Why folk bitch about these guys is really beyond me.

    The purchase of a season ticket entitles you to entry to X games, not have an entitlement to deciding how club money is spent.
    I've subscribed to the bar, not because I'll use it {I live in London} but because I've bought into the idea of it. I fully expect the entry criteria &/or membership criteria to change at sometime in the future. I'll support whatever change necessary to keep the bar open.
    The more that can use & do use it, the better.
    I wouldn't say I've been "ripped off. I got told the cost {as did everyone else} and I decided I'd pay that cost.

    I might be in the minority but I really like Langfield, as a player and as a person. Of course he can make the odd error but at our level, that's probably par for the course. I think he's a very good 'keeper and obviously cares deeply for the club.
    He gets added points for shouting "JESUS F**K REF!" (or something very similar) rather audibly after another baffling call from Charleston yesterday.

    Fair play to the keeper, made a vital save at 1-0 and was a calming influence in claiming crosses. Kicking was decent today too!
    Personally I think he has gained us more points than he has lost us.

    For me Clarkson was MOM, he dragged defenders all over the place,made space, his movement was terrific, he will be good .
    Keith Watson was a close second,Clarkson took a knock and has not played much and that was why he was subbed.

    Is it any wonder there is 'too much' being read into Miller's appointment? We appointed Danny and his assistant Jenkins was swiftly bagged. An 'auld head' came in and before too long that 'auld head' was sitting behind Danny's desk with Jim Goodwin and Gary Teale gurning beside him in fresh crisp club shirts and ties. Meanwhile, Sir Thommo of Handsomeness was supposedly less than enamoured to be overlooked. Not so fast though.... Our triumvirate dream team of the auld head and the crispy white shirts didnae' work, and was soon broken up, as Goodwin had to dig his Carbrini trackky' back out the cupboard, stop ironing his crispy white shirt and give his club tie to a punter in corporate one day. Sir Thommo of Handsomeness' mood is unknown at this point. Wait though, the pantomime is far from over... Oh yes it is!... Oh no it isn't. The remaining crispy white shirt and club tie guy sees off the 'auld head', and once removing the auld head's Werther Originals and frayed copy of Razzle from the manager's desk, becomes manager himself. No auld head assistant for him... The youth bloke gets a crispy shirt and tie! A new dream team.... Sir Thommo of Handsomeness retires to the Bull Inn for a packet of pork scratchings and a half of milk stout. Can it last? Can it fcuk. Still pish... They're offski eventually. Free club ties in corporate again as Campbell saves a fortune in handing out corporate ties. Drum roll... a fresh-faced hero emerges. A handsome young chap who looks dapper in the crispy shirt / club tie combo. He brings in his own assisstant who is photographed in rascal clobber that even a pissed-up corporate guest won't accept when the inevitable happens and the assistant we haven't heard of gets bagged... Sure enough, the assistant we haven't heard of is swiftly bagged... Disaster for Murray - who will throw bottles of Highland Spring to his players now? The rascal clobber bloke was so good at it. Murray ponders.... He decides (all on his own), to send for an experienced Highland Spring thrower. It's another 'auld head'. The circle is complete.....Sir Thommo of Handsomeness orders another milk stout and a packet of scampi fries.

    No way did he try not to score. I was getting a couple of Allan Picken's great pics of Thommo and Teale turning in celebration after a late equaliser at Ibrox autographed for charity. Thommo, when signing the photos said... 'That's a great photo isn't it? Just look at our faces. Some folk said if I scored at Ibrox I wouldn't celebrate. Fcuk that - that was magic!'
    I used it as my signature text for a while, until the club proved themselves incapable of updating the HoF boards in the stadium for one, two, three.... years.
