Noel Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Announcements about announcements? Fair do's on the pricing of the old 201 stock. There'll be a few happy campers after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connollystn Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Brilliant job with the weathering, takes the cheapy looking plastic appearance off it. Know I've said this before but I believe that capturing the overall character of a model is a lot more important that all of the fussy detailed separately applied parts but, that's just my opinion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there are some people who don’t like the detail on the MM 201 never mind this one….which is somehere a good bit above Silverfox quality but severely lacks compares Murphy’s products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about that! There's some locally produced "medicine" you can get up here. Does not come with a fancy label or lots of EU stuff on the label. Come to think of it, it does not have a label. Anyway when you get some, you undo the top, put a lighted match to the top of the "medicine" bottle. If you get a nice blue flame you know you have some top quality "medicine". Not really sure how it works but when you imbibe some, your brain forgets that your body is sick. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know that stuff, but to play it safe I tend to use a square bottle of brown liquid No 7 all the way from American, if I can't find either my Bushmills or my Blackbush medicines in time.

Colin R Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I think I am getting my medicines mixed up Bushmills and Blackbush are from the same place, yet I am sure I used to have just as nice a whiskey from Dublin years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinner75 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Roe & Co. whiskey is based in what was the old power building in the sprawling Guinness complex. My dad told me that they used the the steam from the brewing process to generate electricity back in the day - a forerunner of todays modern combined heat & power plants? Powers Johns Lane is a nice drop of 'medicine' too btw! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no, no, you MUSTN"T use Bush for mixing with honey and lemon (my fault, I spelt the generic word wrongly in my post from Erfurt). Use that Scottish apology for spirits, IRISH Whiskey is too good to mix up for medicine! I'm back in Brexitland, and sitting patiently waiting for the announcement - hurry up because this seat's uncomfortable! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During a post-fire renovation of a local pub, I was tasked with remounting some pictures - amongst them was a mirror identical to this. I was struck by the spelling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
