Since getting damp at a car show on Saturday I have devoloped man flu:sad:

but on the plus side every night my good wife makes me plenty of hot wiskeys:thumbup:every cloud has a silver lining :pint:

How to tell man flu from real flu.

1) Stand by the bed/sofa where the invalid is moaning.

2) Throw £20 note on the ground.

3) If he gets up to grab the note, it's man flu :)

ooh, ive got some lemonade and glenmorangie in the cupboard, hot toddy's tonite just for fun lol

 

as for flu, ive had real flu once, it doesnt half knock you down, i wouldnt have picked the £20 up lol

Glenmorangie with lemonade :eek: as a hot toddy :eek: :eek: The Men of Tain will come round and haunt you in a Scottish accent

pmsl, its all i got, how ya supposed to drink it then?

With deep respect :) Glenmorangie is a lovely single malt. OK, it's quite common and mass market but even so it's very drinkable. Get a large glass tumbler and put at least a double in it. Some swear by adding the same again of still water (your choice). Swirl gently round the glass and raise to your nose. Breath in through your nose gently to let the flavours pass over your palate. Pause. Take a good sip (don't gulp but don't stint yersel). Roll it round the mouth, breath in through the nose again and swallow gently. Open mouth and breathe in again to let the alcohol vapours evaporate and give that nice bite at the back of the throat.

 

Repeat in front of a warm fire with a howling gale outside until you feel the urge to wear a tartan skirt. Hoots mon.

 

PS - now I'm thirsty. Can you tell I haven't had a 'morangie for decades?

PPS and for gary's side of the water, try http://www.bushmills.com my mother's favourite whiskey (note the extra "e")

wish it was cold wet and windy now lol

 

will give it a go tonite, not really a whisky drinker but for some reason my mam keeps fetching it back off her hols for me lol

I first got the taste for it in the Mermaid in Sark. New barmaid a) used wrong measure so was serving trebles instead of singles and b) charging house whisky prices and c) this was on Sark so no VAT or duty anyway. Didn't last long, Pat the landlord found out eventually...

 

I'm not actually a drinks fascist so go on, have a hot toddy :) but do try it the way the Men of Tain intended and, if you like whisky, you'll really like this one. Cheers.

i will give it a go tonite, never really tried it straight but will gove it a go, cheers bud

Thanks Alan but the hot wiskeys did not work its 0300 hrs and I am up coughing and splutering drinking tea lol As for the barman in the video making hot toddies someone would need to tell him to put boiling water in a glass then add the sugar stir it then the whiskey and not the other way around as the sugar will not melt.

Amazon fact..........Did you know Irish whiskey is spelt with an "e" and Scotish whisky has no "e":yes::biggrin:
