A few months ago a pair of geese had 7 seven chicks and saw them on the 4th hole today and they are almost grown (or look like it) and still all 7 there. Great bit of parenting to stop predators getting them

There's a pair of Egyptian gees with six or seven goslings by the lake on our 14th.
Absolutely gorgeous.

I expect this will be in the Random Irritation thread by the end of the year, too many goose turds on the green. :)

Anyone in particular as I am partial to a drop of bourbon?

Depends on your price range, so pretty much in order or price from £20 to £80 a bottle approximately.

Bulleit Bourbon (Straight Bourbon Orange Label)
Buffalo Trace
Tin Cup
Bulleit Bourbon (Rye Green Label)
Knob Creek Rye
Woodfords Reserve
Woodfords reserve double oak
Eagle Rare
Bulleit Bourbon (10yr old, white label, bought some of this the other day, really really good, nay, tis flaming gorgeous)
Willet Pot Still Bourbon
Hudson Baby Boubon (Can be deemed expensive as it comes in a 500ml bottle not the usual 700ml, but costs the same as a 700ml bottle, tis very good though. You can get 700ml bottles, but the prices then shoots up)
Elijah Craig
Blantons (If you've watched John Wick 2, this is Wicks choice of drink after his fight with the other assassin, the bottle with the horse on the stopper)

What I can remember, obviously there is Jack Daniels Black Label, Jim Beam, both our cats tiddle, that written, Jack Daniels do one called Gentleman Jack which is oak and a JD single barrel again which is not to bad, have yet to try the JD Rye. Jim Beam do Double oak and Devils Cut, which are okay as well.

Makers Mark normal bottle is marmite, love or hate it bourbon, they do other more expensive bottles, but I've yet to try them.

Admiral Lord Nelson was about five foot tall.
His statue on the top of Nelson's column is about fifteen foot tall.









That's a horatio of about 3 to 1.

Well, it certainly made me laugh.
