Happy New year.

[Oldtimer]

As I missed out with the greetings of Christmas I thought I would be first to wish every Thumperman a Happy New Year.
Special thanks to everyone who has helped me out over the past year.
Regards Mike

Aye Mike

If the rain doesn't dowse the enthusiasm, maybe waving blazing birch besoms tightly wrapped with tarred cloth in Comrie tomorrow night and then casting them into the River Earn of the bridge so as to take away the evils of 2014.
Have a grand Hogmanay and the link below may be of interest.

This one was all that remained from a works thing via Schipol. It's replacement, to go with this years lemons ands limes was from Selfridges , a souvenir from my hols. Going to Schipol is madly the most sensible way, £14 from toytown airstrip at this time of year.

Yet again i'm furthering my education thanks to Thumper Club members! I had never heard of Jenever before. Such a philistine  I'm still a bit confused to be honest, is it a kind of mixture of gin and fortified wine? (Just discovered that if you drink it along with beer as a chaser, its called Koptoot, which translates as Headbutt. Sounds like a night out 

[Propellor]

......its called Koptoot......

Sounds, like a refusal to drink it! Wussed out like.

It's a sort of prototype gin made from malt when stills were pretty basic. A far better idea than vinegar IMHO. Comes in Oude (old) which has the Juniper/bitter/stronger taste and Jonge (young) which is smoother, from more advanced stills and a bit more like Vodka.

As someone who tries to read Dutch using a limited English/German vocabulary, putting on a Geordie or Barnsley accent does actually help (like). I guess somebody's great granddad owned something more waterproof than a bicycle!
