Random Irritations

I still have two bottles of Rhubarb wine that I bottled in 1989

Any takers?

I'll drink one if you drink the other.

I have to say that I will be very disappointed if it is very pleasant. I would be hoping for seriously weird. That would be so much better.

My old man use to do home brew in the late 70's. Apparently it could remove dentures and strip paint but he seemed to enjoy it. Had a sip once and thought it tasted dreadful which is probably why I shunned bitter for many years and became a lager boy

I’ve said it before (possibly multiple times) but I’ll say it again;

The complete lack of self awareness of some folks. It’s astonishing.

This this and this

Blimey - a fall out over homemade wine

My dad used to do it - mum told him exactly which one was drinkable

My father-in-law used to make wine. It was generally bad. One bottle he gave us sat unopened for a couple of years, and when we did eventually sample it, it had somehow transmogrified into something resembling sherry. I'm not a sherry drinker, but my wife said it was quite nice.

My Dad did the same. He used to leave it ferment in the airing cupboard!
He'd sup it simply because he'd made it. It was awful. It would have been more use sprinkled on chips

I apologise if I came over argumentative, was just pointing out, along with the theme of the thread, that many people think their home made produce is amazing and sometimes it is so far off the mark but still give it out to others and expect them to love it and praise it.
Sorry again for the misunderstanding

Apology accepted.
If it was just one person, I'd add them to my ignore list (currently sitting at 12) and move on but it's not.
There's just too many people arguing the toss about anything and everything.

If anyone needs any help with their swing/game, pm me. I'll still get the e-mail.
I'm taking a break from this once fun place but don't worry, I'm not swanning off although a few will still accuse me of doing so.
So if someone asks for some help with their game and I don't answer, it's nothing personal , I just wont be here.

Well, I can't argue with that.

Thing was as a kid I'd have no idea if it was tasting how it should or should be used to clean drains. He was drinking it and gave me a taste so I went along with it. Didn't like it (but didn't say so) but it definitely jaundiced my view of bitter as a formulative drinker

Be positive.
You have four monocles.

That sounds like a Morecambe and Wise sketch

A few years ago a guy in our homebrew club had been clearing out his recently deceased aunts house and came upon a bottle simply labelled "Potato and Raisin Wine - 1982"

It was simply one of the most wonderous things that has ever passed my lips.

Yep. My life is like a hybrid of the worst bits of Morecambe & Wise mixed with George & Mildred. With the odd cameo by Norman Pitkin.

Who has been buying that many to force Tesco to put this sign out

Just a minor irritation, more a disappointment I guess. MiL has a couple of dozen old 78s…and having gone through them I fear that none are of interesting big band/swing/jazz - and so, as far as I can deduce, completely worthless and not worth keeping. But are they? Or is it off to Oxfam or the skip they go.

ETA…If anyone from Sleaford is interested in White & Sentance record store; or Leicester’s Sir Herbert Marshall & Sons Ltd (Belvoir Galleries) or Leicester’s Dalton & Sons Ltd. I have for each a couple of 78s with covers for these record stores.

It's not THAT big of an irritation, actually,
but I'm pretty sure that I am the forum leader
in moderator-deleted posts!

I'm sure the deletions are usually warranted,
but it's a good thing that I'm not hypersensitive.

Nope, not even close to the top of the table .
