Stupid things I did today (facepalm moments..)

[32_16]

You don't have to keep your still in the box it came in. I just sit mine on the

My still room is my garage - when I'm getting the push bike out the garage door is open to the street so everything gets put away...

[gaza the instructor]

i'm with you what the eye don't see etc...
Very lucky there I have my "man cave" as
she calls it.

[Mash]

you guys must live with the same worry I do....
When I die, she will sell all my stuff for what I told her I bought it for

[Easydrinker]

But WTF would you care? You are dead...
Some brother under the skin gets a bargain, your old lady gets the insewerance(?) and a shed full of booze...
Just sayin'

Robert.

[gaza the instructor]

Yes mate but I want to be cremated in my shed
Trouble is they would have to evacuate the house
next door and put the local Trumpton on stand-by.

[Mash]

Brilliant idea Gaz, but all those DJs full of spirit, they might need to evacuate upto the M25 ring.

[gaza the instructor]

Ouiii you leave my ring out of it!!

I bought a pack of coriander seeds today, while planting them I thought "these look very similar to the ones in 1kg bag of coriander seed I use in the gin"

bugger bugger bugger bugger bugger

Similar here.
Have some Coriander sprouted from a £1'ish maybe 300 seed pack.
I have a kilo and a half of seed bought for gin and chutney last year, for less than a fiver!
Feckity,feckity,feck.

Will sow some today.
With my current BIR taste love affair that I have going on, despite thinking that coriander tastes like parsley that the cats have wazzed on, I am using lots of the stuff.

Robert.

[Mash]

Having discovered a kilo 'seed' bag I might try to make a coriander patch.
Feckity,feckity,feck. (brilliant expletives)

Did a strip run today on 130 litres of Rum wash.
Everything started OK but a few minutes in I got a distinctive smell.
Walked round the corner from the sink where I was doing some cleaning and what did I see?

F*kin hell - steam coming out of my condenser!!!

I had not "checked" the coolant flow. Turned off the gas, put on the big extractor fan, and quickly checked all the coolant compression fittings.

It turns out that there was a knackered washer on one of the flexible tap connectors. Replaced in a few minutes, heat back on - and I only lost a minimal amount of product.

Could have been worse.

[Jennysgin]

That was lucky you hadn't gone far!

[gaza the instructor]

It's always a 50p item that lets the side down Myles,
It's sods law!!

[Easydrinker]

Dibbed some more of the cheap Corriander into a pot today.
Ever hopeful.

These things always creep up on the best of us. I don't like those autostop connecters at all...they have a mind of there own.

[Easydrinker]

Just once in a while I smell unwanted smells from the still room.
Usually due to not tightening down enough on connections.
I try to learn from my mistakes.

Robert.

[gaza the instructor]

Thats what HWMBO says and then orders me out the house.

[Easydrinker]

gaza, without questioning your rights to LGBT, are you miss-typing?

Robert.

[Mash]

LOL

And this ladies and gents is why we run this as a pub!

[gaza the instructor]

"Would you mind not farting in front of my wife, thank you."
"Sorry didn't realise it was her turn."

[Easydrinker]

Not sure that we are through this one yet?

Robert.

[DorsetScott]

gaza, without questioning your rights to LGBT, are you miss-typing?

Robert.

He's been doing it forever, so my head autocorrects Gaza.
Although I'd assumed that due to talk of wifey and nursey rather than knowing orientation.

I always thought gaza's orientation was reclined.

[gaza the instructor]

I can talk in Chinese if you are talking in crap.

[Easydrinker]

Wo jah?
Innsjing inmo lim?

Robert.

[gaza the instructor]

20 no6 and a bag or clackers peas.

[Easydrinker]

So solly, you cannae smoke clackers peas.
And that is as far into racist humour as I will go.
Times have moved on.
And you of all people have a reason to wake up and smell the coffee.

Robert.
