Your pictures are wanted!

[Swedish Chef]

Thanks Carl - after having had the pleasure of your pictures from Åmål I must say the film title must be out of place! It certainly looks like a very charming place.

Mr.F, the title is a reference to the lack of things to do here for the teens. Åmål actually came in second place in a competition of the prettiest small towns in the world. The winner was in Canada I believe.

For bitter, maybe I'm spoiled by the likes of Lancaster Bomber and Oxford Gold.

Is that the Brakspear Oxford Gold, Nick? If so I'll try it out as it is available here. I'd love to try something called Lancaster Bomber, but it isn't available here. Spitfire Ale is as close as we can get.

That is an adorable picture, MP.

[Swedish Chef]

I'll buy a few bottles on saturday then.

Snapped a few pic's yesterday.




The red house is the one we're moving to next month

[Swedish Chef]

Bought these today:

[Swedish Chef]

You where right about the Oxford Gold, Nick. It's really good, I'll still keep a few VB's around but the Oxford will be a standard in the beer cooler from now on.

I had one with dinner, honey glazed chicken with a basil sauce and pommes duchess:

[Swedish Chef]

That would've been okey anyway, Nick. One have to try new things to find something better than what you got. And it's not you like you actually asked me to buy any Oxford Gold. Nor did I need to buy six of them.

[Muskrat Portage]

Yes that's the Brakspear - I really like this one.
Lancaster Bomber is from Thwaites if you ever see it.
Spitfire (Shepherd Neame) is good, but not up to the other two, for my taste.

Nice picture musky!

Thanks C57, Nick - if you can beleive it my buddy snapped the picture with a cellphone! Pretty decent quality for an electronic add on!

Musky

PS: I'm off for Toronto next month and will look for those beers you discuss. There's an LC that carries a pretty good selection of "foreign to us" beers, where I'm going to look.

Summer is here with barbeque and.......



Wit from Nøgne Ø! LOVELY!!!

I hope you're all ready for another yacht picture. This hapened to be right outside my window at work today. It's called "A" and is a $400 million super-yacht owned by a Mr Andrey Melnichenko of Russia. A few super yachts have visited Bergen in the last few years but this must be the weirdest and biggest of them all.

[Ganga]

Looks like the Nautilus ala A League of Extrodinary Gentlmen.

[Swedish Chef]

That yacht is crazy looking, Mr. F. Kinda like the UN bought a VIP submarine.

Took a few pic's after moving to the house.

First night, just having unpacked the essentials (click on the itty-bitty pic's to see them in original size):

Nice picture, Mr Fjeld.
The yacht was here in Gothenburg as well not that long ago. I took the car out the the outer part of the harbour and had a lokk at it, and it sure looks strange... and big!

My mother-in-law's hubby turned 65 yesterday and I had to take a pic of the cake Mrs. Chef made for him. Sponge cake with lemon curd and wild strawberry/whipped cream filling:

We were at Culzean Castle last week and this little fella came and sat on the wall as we were having a coffee.

[les taylor]

For those that love Golf. We drove past Turnberry last week. Hardly anyone there. Unlike now, and from tomorrow The Open begins. It's looking fantastic. Here's a view of the leaderboards over the 18th.

[Swedish Chef]

A couple of pic's from the weekend:

Went to the forrest yesterday and found this:

[anationonfire]

It's me!!

I may not be your typical looking whisky lover, but we do share the same passion and that's why we are here!

Fun image from 'there I fixed it'

[GR8GUY]

Very few were made and it was sold for over £200 when it was available.
Lovely as it is I'm skint again and open to offers

[Mr Fjeld]

[Mr Fjeld]

Good one Mr T!

[dramtastic]

Dram, is that you and the Mrs?

Yeh Bro but I've lost a few kilo's since my surgery Actually don't know what Mrs DT is so happy about, she doesn't even drink whisky!(though she is a good sport and indulges me in my whisky weakness).

Actually she did say that Mr Horigami(pictured) served one of a hell of a JD and Diet Coke.

[borgom]

What a lucky bloke you are, looks like you both had a great time!

[scotchdrinker]

Not taken by me, but this is what was going on by me last night.

[dramtastic]

What a lucky bloke you are, looks like you both had a great time!

Sure did, doing it all again in two weekends time.
