Rum

In that case it's not the rum, you just got old?, I've got it everywhere except my head, the ones that just seem to appear overnight, about an inch long out of my ears are a special bonus?

Bollocks.  Might as well keep drinking the stuff then.

 
I can still remember being horrified the first time the barber trimmed my ear hairs & eyebrows.

Short story long... I'm an Arbroath laddie & was back in my hometown on holiday so went to the barber I used as a teenager (1980's), sat in the same chair, the old guy was still there but the fecker charged me LESS for my haircut than he charged me 40 years ago.

Wow, you're hairline tanked faster than the economy!

I just gave up going to the barber when I realised I just needed to drag a set of clippers across my head a couple of times.

Coming to you as a total non-connoisseur, who just knocks back anything that'll get me buzzin', is the Brugal and Barcelo stuff I've got from the Caribbean any good, or is it Just For Them Touristas?

I mean...it's not great rum.

I'm guessing from most of the posts that people tend to view rum as a mixer, rather than a sipper? Is it because there's still a perception that rum is either spiced and sweetened or paintstripper?

 
Partial to trying random ass spiced rums myself, got all sorts really. St Ives Island rum, Dead mans fingers, Gods own. Nothing really to call a favourite though, only been able to (legally) buy my own stuff for a little bit now.

Side-note, I work in a sort of Tex-Mex place and I get a Jarritos (Mexican soft drink) after most shifts, save them up for the end of the week and find that they mix well with rum - Just an alternative to the usual rum and coke were all used to, If probably a bit sweet for the more developed of the tastebuds in here.

 
Rum and pineapple's a good combo, cut up a pineapple into big chunks, soak them in rum and then do them on the BBQ - tasty!

Have had a few rum's, although I go through a lot more bourbon & whisky. Two bottles on the go at the mo, Mount Gay and Cape Cornwall Spiced which is like drinking christmas cake - not everyone's taste but I like it.

Oh and Aldi do a cheap Captain Morgan knock off which is better than real Captain Morgan (not difficult).

Also this

Rum and pineapple juice. Trust me.

Intrigued by the Santa Theresa, finished in wine casks IIRC. 

I have a bottle of Alchemist pineapple rum which is great in a pina colada/painkiller type cocktail! Plus the bottle is super cool.

 
I think the Santa Theresa would be right up your street, you massive snob ?

It is bloody good.

Aldi and Lidl often surprise you with their interpretations....  Shows you how we get fleeced in this country by many big brands.

I remember queing up with a load of farmers years ago because our local Aldi/Lidl (can never distinguish between them) were doing an air compressor and tool set for buttons.  This was nearly 15 years ago and most of it is still going.  Back then I serviced my own cars...  Now I have a glorified Milk Float, I donated this all to my brother who uses it to look after his beloved E-Type.

My local asda has been reducing it's range of beer and cider so I've been getting some really good deals as they clear excess stock (eg bottles of Trooper for 68p) so I'm hoping they're going to do the same with spirits. Not sure my liver will be too pleased though
