This'll get me told off....

Post by Admin »

Sorry, this isn't a 'normal' post and No, this isn't signifying 'all bets off' but it excites me enough that I'm going to make an exception - if it makes you feel good then by all means send in a report and I'll get told off.

Now that that's out of the way, I know that many of my classic car owning friends enjoy the odd snifter, and if that's you, get your hands on this. Having no doubt overproduced, Johnnie Walker are now sitting on an excess of Advent Calendars and so have knocked a tenner off their usual price. But if you sign up for their newsletter and wait ten minutes for the discount code to arrive by email, they'll knock another tenner off and give you free delivery too, so you get twelve miniiatures delivered for £30. They're all at least nice but some are exceptional. Two of them will be JW Blues that you usually have to pay £15-£20 EACH for.

No doubt I'll get told to take this post down by the weekend but I'm going to guess they'll all have gone by then anyway :D
Here's the link (and no, neither I or the club get any 'affiliate' commission from it!) https://www.malts.com/en-gb/products/bl ... t-calendar

Just to prove that even the mods get modded, my whisky post has been relegated to the 'off topic' forum, following the inevitable whine (or is that wine?) about it lol. Personally I thought the correct response would be to make is a 'sticky' in every forum, but in deference to our poor directors ear'oles we went with this :D

Oh dear, looks like our dear complainant still isn't happy and says the post is still in General Discussion and not in Off Topic after all. By way of information:

Of course, it's easy to accuse the moderators of not doing their job than to educate yourself in what's happened, but you'll usually find that they're quite diligent. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I find it hilarious what some keyboard warriors like to complain about. They must lead quite quiet lives. If only we all had the luxury of having so much time on our hands…

Personally I love a good whisky, Glenfiddich being one of my favourites.....
Quite partial to a good brandy as well......
