Oh dear, I hope you feel better soon.

This delightful version J S Bach’s Goldberg Variations no. 28 has soothed my rage toward carton tops. ‘ Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast, To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak’ Have a listen, it’s so nice!

Congreve is such a doofus.

Cheers mate. I’ve never had a throat this sore in my life.

Hope you feel better. Use scissors.

As a man who has gone out to dinner a lot, and who’s lifelong friends are some of the most successful restaurateurs in New England, you speak the truth, sir.

We have some great diners here in New England, Buka.

Am I the only one around here who has never had Covid? I think I should change my name to Mary Mallon.

Last week, I went to buy some distilled water from motor car maintenance shop, Halfords (to water my orchids). As I was paying for it, the shop assistant said, in sotto voce, “You don’t need to buy that, it’s just boiled water! Get it out of your kettle!” For a second I contemplated educating him lest he damaged the battery of someone equally as ill-informed, but I just couldn’t be bothered. I have lost the will to correct people!

Where do you purchase it in the USA?

When I first went to Scotland as a Uni student, I went to Boots the Chemist to buy some rubbing alcohol. Before they would sell me any, they reached under the counter and pulled out a huge ledger, opened it to the next free line and asked me to write my name, address and age and the purpose for buying rubbing alcohol! I thought I’d be transported to the 1950s!

It’s a new EU thing:
Why are bottle caps now attached to the bottle?

It doesn’t say why but I assume it’s to stop all those kids aspirating them and asphyxiating

store..grocery store, or a store like walmart.....

Distilled water is at the grocery store.

I’d guess it has more to do with litter and recycling. People are generally pretty good about recycling bottles, but not so much the caps. So the caps often end up in the landfill.
