Re: Booze Ferry....
That's about right.
Last time I went, I bourght 15 kases of beer, 30 kases of coca cola and 12 bottles of snaps. The prizes in Germany are much lower. I only have to buy 15 kases before the gaz are payed for. I'm not drinking all that alone. - It's for me and the people living at my hall here at the dorm.
Of course I cant legaly buy booze in Germany without declare it at the boarder, but the boarder is a joke. The customs booth are an abandoned ruin. If you have anything to declare, there are an mailbox, so you have to give you self up. Next time I'll take some pictures for you.

Just like the (bloody) Swedes taking the ferry to Denmark with their trolleys and buying up in the local bottle shops and back to the ferry, eh Thomas.

Re: HANGOVER
On my 3rd or 4th unofficial "marriage" and not a tee-totaller, just seem to have an allergy to alcohol. A third to a half of bottle of beer, as little single malt as you can get in a glass and still cover the bottom, a half glass of wine or a small glass of Bristol Cream is my limit. After that i'm under the table sleeping.

Oh dear.
Dave,
Must be fun to have you around at parties.
Reminds me of that ex-colleage of mine that invariable fell asleep at 3.00 AM in the morning no matter what.
We once had him sleeping standing up in a club,glass in hand and his bald head half tucked the inside of a big midrange horn going full blast.
Picture that one!
Cheers,

That's the only one.
Makes me believe the figures of my 845 prototype running on the bench:
1 KHz sine wave into 8 ohms
Distortion RMS Volts out Power out (V*V/R)
5% 18.0v 40.5w
2% 15.2v 28.9w
1% 9.7v 11.8w
0.5% 8v 8w
I'll check again in the cool light of day on Monday I think..

Just noticed the header of your post Frank
"Father-in-law" Frank, you're not married to a British decendant are you?
That reminds me of a little ditty we had at a Japanese company I spent half my life working for:
The Best:
An American House
A German Car
A Chinese Cook
A Japanese Wife
The Worst:
A Japanese House
An East German Car
An English Cook
An American Wife
With apologies to the afflicted.

There is nothing a Single-Malt Scotch cannot fix!?!?!
It seems that scotch and bourbon are out of style at the moment.
The best drink I have ever had, was from a ancient bottle of Glenlivet 1824 I found in a house I was demolishing. It was a beautiful thing. Probably 25 to 30 years old, not including the standard 12 year aging.
Dave, I can sympathize, I have never had a hangover, even though my favourite poison is scotch and bourbon, followed by our local Bundaberg Black, which is rum aged for 10 years, I have never had a hangover or been truly drunk. The closest was when I had to hammer a Wild Turkey & Cola instantly and then drive to an emergency scene, I could just feel that the edge was taken off of my reflexes. Thank goodness, I did not get caught by the breathalizers, cause I would have been locked up for sure.
All things in moderation.......

BEST DRINK EVER
Hi,
Nah,you don't want us to believe that.
Do you?
Lucky b*****d,
P.S.
Shall we visit the Caribbean together?
80 degrees of alcohol.Man I tell the carpet kept on beating up my face.
Honnestly,if it's a black out you want you can get it with this.
Rum did that,done that.
Shaggy said:It wasn't me.
I agree,must have been the rum.

Glenlivet 1824
Yes, it was the best drink ever and it was an old bottle. I found it inside a wall behind the liquor cabinet in a house I just demolished about 6 weeks ago. It was old enough not to have a bar code or "sku" on the bottle.
Unfortunately, it did not last long, maybe 3 weeks at the best. It was a very beautiful thing. It had turned a honey amber colour and was so mellow and smooth. I had a new bottle of Glenlivet to compare, very different. Actually, I have been spoiled so badly, that I am looking for a new scotch. Any suggestions?
Bundaberg Black is a 80 proof rum that has been aged 10 years in oak casks that ends up somewhere between a rum and a bourbon in taste. Good stuff.
Yes, rum can give some people a blackout, but I have yet to have my lights turned off. I prefer my spirits straight up, and usually 2 to 3 shots in a glass at a time. Must be my German-Irish breeding?
