Yesterday was very wet and windy and I lit the range and watched the snooker. My hero Ronnie the 'Rocket' share the same birthday (yesterday) and it was a match that wasn't to be.
The wife picked up a nine inch pizza from town. We have started to share portions now we are on the slippery slope to old age. I find unless I have been for a long walk or been gardening, I don't need a big pizza to myself. Same with fish and chips. One portion is big enough for the two of us. More tight wad tips soon.

So we opened up two of the Ben Bracken miniatures last night. I managed to pour two half whisky glasses out of each bottle. They had the wonderful fudge, toffee and cherry aromas and one was smoky like leaves burning on old Reg's allotment in Autumn. Three miniature malts for ten Euros! A great stocking filler for that someone you don't know what to buy, me thinks!
Apparently there isn't actually a Ben Bracken distillery in Scotland. Lidl buy it from other distilleries.
"Am I bothered?"
No I am not. In fact I would now go and buy the bigger 70cl bottles of their own malt. I believe Aldi have their own Marnoch malt whisky for sale too. It just goes to show malts are affordable for all pockets and purses. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's CRAP! Can I patent that slogan? You heard it here first.
Happy Birthday for yesterday Dave. I missed your post 'til this morning. Glad you enjoyed your day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel. I have just replied to your comment on your blog. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteA belated happy birthday to you! It was my son's birthday yesterday. I bought him a bottle of Cardhu. I just liked the box, I have no idea if its good or not.
ReplyDeleteI love aldi and lidl for allsorts. Great quality at a reasonable price.
Thank you Christina. I am sure he will be delighted with the Cardhu. I love Dalwhinnie. We once visited their distillery in the Scottish Highlands. People here think that Lidl is the best thing to come to Bantry. If you go to Kenmare Aldi and Lidl are next to each other. We miss Asda, Sainsburys and Morrisons supermarkets. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAnd belated birthday greetings from me. Sorry Ronnie let you down. I was desperately trying to will the other guy into failing all his shots. I threatened never to watch Ronnie again but I can't go that far.
ReplyDeleteBallentines has the royal seal so that'll put you off it, Dave ;-) But I'm partial to Grouse too. I have met the man who painted that grouse for the labels. We drank gin.
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie. Ronnie played well when he came back. But it was Ding's day. He played very well. Ronnie looked like he wanted to be somewhere else. Probably running, knowing Ronnie!
ReplyDeleteI like Joe Royle. The only member of the Royle (Royal)family to have scored at Wembley. SORRY!
ReplyDeleteYes Grouse is good. I try not to buy it now my dad is no longer around. The Grouse label painter is very talented. Cheers Gwil.
The Aldi we visit is surprisingly good for wine. I can't comment on whiskey or whisky as the case might be.
ReplyDeleteHi Philip. Did you notice I mentioned Ref's allotment? We often buy Liebrumilch and a white Portuguese from Lidl and Aldi has some goodies we like at Christmas. Especially Belgian chocolates and shortbread in tins. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Dave, I saw Reg got a mention!
ReplyDeleteYes Reg likes to burn his allotment leaves Philip. I would compost them. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI do like your slogan. I may use it soon.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you like it Joanne. Suppose you could change the word crap to trash? Good luck with your new venture!
ReplyDeleteFINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUSI thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had herpes virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how DR ADIGBA cured them from herpes, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR ADIGBA because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact DR ADIGBA via dradigba@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348077875210. he is good too to cure all type of disease and virus. 1 HIV cure 2 cancer 3 diabetes 4 hepatitis 5 herpes. You can contact if you are having any problem...

God will continue to bless you Dr. Kham more abundantly for the good work you are doing in people's life by curing them from different types of diseases.

After two weeks of taking the herbal Medication, I went to my doctor for a checkup and my results showed Negative and my doctor told me that there is no trace of herpes in my body and the virus is completely gone from my body.
