Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Fodderwing]

I'd be very interested to hear your opinion on how they compare Dwight I usually just buy the Ardbeg 10, which has been a favourite for a long time now

The Corryvreckan and the Uigeadail are the most complex and are very similar to each other. The Weebeastie is excellent and is not very far below the Corryvreckan and Uigeadail while costing half the price. I'm surprised to hear you say that about Ardbeg 10 because it is the only Ardbeg dram I don't care for. You will find the three I've mentioned to be much richer and very peaty and smoky.

Thanks for your thoughts buddy, I am grateful for them. I started drinking Ardbeg before the newer blends were available. Do you have any preference between the Corrvreckan and the Uigeadail?

I suppose I would choose Corryvreckan as my number one but they are very close imho.

Congratulations Guardians! Two great milestones

Another milestone reached.

Always wanted to try the Uigeadail but never got to it. It’s around $200 here so I’ve always found something for less that’s intrigued me more. I do like aren’t 10.

I say springbank is my favourite but I don’t buy it anymore, even the 10yo is $250-300 now. Used to get it for $100.

Might have to try the wee beastie though.

Very handsome Dan, I carry my Hartshead Barlow in a near identical slip It's great to know you're doing OK, are the girls off at college now?

Gracias Jack
John's slips are very nice indeed. I like how mine has patina over the years.

Today I drove across the border to bring our girls back home from camp. They actually called me to go pick them up (two weeks earlier than planned) because they were rather tired of camp and missing home
They did not need to ask me twice lol
Our oldest will start her 3 year of college this September, the youngest stays with us one more year.

Same here on the prices. I very seldom get to purchase any Ardbeg other than Weebeastie due to the expense. I will definitely give Springbank a try.

Tool Man didn't seem too disturbed, or particularly surprised, by his early morning encounter with a 'streaker', who was thankfully some distance away. I guess, after 15 years on Leeds Market, you've seen a lot of strange things Today, was not really the weather for running around naked



Just after I arrived myself, Gravel turned up with some jam doughnuts, so I went to get coffee. My faith in Tool Man was such that I bought some more doughnuts, since I had been away from the stall nearly 5 minutes



The morning was fairly quiet, and apart from brief visits from Captain Birdseye, Harry Hotballs, Big Dave, and Barry The Original Ted, there was only Tool Man, Boring Ray, Slimline Scott, and myself. Nobber Al wandered over a couple of times, reminding me that I've not had a pint with him in a while.



By 11.30am Tool Man was petitioning to be fed, insisting that Gravel went to buy chips, gravy, and mushy peas. I went with him, to ease the strain on his wallet. Scott, being even more tight-fisted than Tool Man, stayed behind, which was a relief, since he can give Boring Ray a run for his money! Tool Man was very satisfied with the repast, though he complained about both the quality of the supplied wooden forks, and the presentation (he didn't like the grease-proof paper liner, claiming it was a trap for the gravy, and insisting on licking it clean!)!



I briefly suggested having some strawberries as a dessert, but obviously Tool Man was absolutely horrified by the very idea, having already scolded Big Dave, for merely carrying a small bag of citrus fruit he had bought for a neighbour



Since Tool Man was intending to slope off to Barber Brian's in the afternoon, there was a debate about his competence as a hairdresser. Both Gravel, and myself, have fell foul of his bad eyesight, and failing barbering skills. Tool Man insisted he had never had a bad haircut from Brian, while I pointed out that this might be because; A, he has barely any hair left; B, because his own eye-sight is so poor, he wouldn't notice; and C, because Barber Brian is probably terrified of him! I don't think Brian is actually scared of Tool Man at all, but after doubly insulting him, I thought I'd throw that in, as I knew it would placate him, and also cause him to puff his chest out! Scott also insisted he had never had a bad haircut from Brian, but I told him I had lots of photographic evidence to the contrary!

As Tool Man departed for his haircut, and Gravel went to see his own barber, I decided that I didn't want to get stuck between Boring Ray, and Almost As Boring Scott, and made my excuses, swerving past the last surviving fan of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the way

What a day!

Julie would be envious of those strawberries. The first time we visited England (around this time of year, actually, 7 years ago) she said the strawberries she had were better than any she’s ever had here.

Jack looks like you and Pals had a good day at the market. I'm surprised Tool Man didnt strip off and go streaking with the streaker

We had a Ray Stevens VHS when I was a kid that we probably just about wore out. “DON’T LOOK, ETHEL!!”

Congratulations Guardians! Two great milestones

Congrats, Jack! In the past I’ve put together some sort of special photo or post celebrating milestones such as this, but I completely dropped the ball on that this time around. So, instead, I’ll just repurpose this photo that I posted when we hit 2,000 pages.

There we go, I think that math adds up.

Probably ought to celebrate 100,000 posts, too…

Seriously, though, thanks to Jack and all the other Guardians for every y’all do to make this thread the unique and wonderful little community within a community that it is. Long Live the Lambsfoot!

To all Guardians, great effort by all to not only keep the thread going, but remain relevant and grow it's participants and the growth of popularity of the Lambsfoot. Was virtually unknown before Jack started this thread. .

What a day!

LOL! They are such an inexpensive treat Barrett, I always mean to eat more! They are very rare, but occasionally, when I have been out walking the hills, I have come across a wild strawberry or two. They are tiny, but the taste is incredible

Talking of gold, NZ excelled at the Olympics, for a country of that size to win that many Gold medals was an exceptional effort.

Good morning Guardians, and congratulations to all of you, hard to believe that post count eh?! This has been a wonderful journey, and I'm grateful to each and every one of you, who has kept this thread going, way beyond my wildest expectations. What a great pattern the Lambsfoot is, and as someone observed, many years ago now, 'Come for the knife, stay for the company'! I'll announce the first giveaway shortly, this one is just for the Guardians, and then I'll post a separate thread, with a giveaway open to everyone And of course, it's Friday! The sun is even shining here! I hope you have a great day Guardians, and thank you, once again, for making this thread the great place it is
