Re: Early Predictions for Tomorrow (4.00 / 2)

I dunno. I think you and I could probably drive de Gondi into bankruptcy court. I seem to recall us putting away a fair number in a fairly short period, and I doubt either of us has seen our tolerance fall.

I'll count on Berlusconi to decriminalize bankruptcy for me.

Have you any idea how expensive Caol Ila is ? I can drink a lot of beer, but not an amount that would cost close to half a bottle of that.

Not every bottle is expensive... just certain bottles.

To be more exact, google finds me a range of $42.99 to $1,037.08 for normal bottle sizes.

Re: Early Predictions for Tomorrow (4.00 / 2)

we'll stick with the median bottles. ;-)

actually have two new Coal Ilas at 24 and 27 yrs, a Port Ellen sherry cask at 25, and a Tomatin distilled in 1976 and bottled a few months ago. Should help me get past my hand cast depression, when opened.

been really down with my hand so swollen (no, haven't forgot that there's no damage and just soreness in the hip). reading analysis of 25 years of securitization hasn't helped. a nice pickup from de Gondi's accounts of student liveliness though.

Here's a song to cheer you up:

Re: Early Predictions for Tomorrow (none / 0)

Ok, I can probably put down $40 of beer without breaking a sweat, but I'd need a good crew to equal the more expensive stuff.
