[alert]Calling all statisticians with initials AHB... the year has ended... [/alert]

Also saw this very recently at an Indian restaurant! Though I wasn't in a position to try it at the time, I noted the very high ABV even for a cask-strength and thought "probably gimmick", but the reviews on masterofmalt.com seem pretty positive; I may have to try just to see.

Morning all, and happy new year
Seen in with a bottle of Calem '85 and Laphroaig quarter cask, amongst other things.

A rat got into your cellar and ate away some of the wine racking supports?

Not quite Nigella?

What would you recommend for a '01 Vargellas or a '99 Malvedos? I thought of 4 to 5 hours.

I'd expect 3-4 to be sufficient, though longer 5-8 would do no harm either.

There are three obvious ways of arranging a row of stars. 1. Alternating orientations, as already shown. http://www.jdawiseman.com/2013/20131224_stars_a.gif 2. Facing sideways. http://www.jdawiseman.com/2013/20131224_stars_b.gif 3. And on their feet. http://www.jdawiseman.com/2013/20131224_stars_c....

Also known as Belphegor's prime.
Belphegor is a prince of hell, and the number contains 666, has thirteen zeroes on each side, and if you want to stretch things a little then you can note that it has 31 digits, which backwards is also 13!
JDAW's turn.

No, but it is a prime.

7779311? (Thus endorsing previous reasoning.) no, although the number is odd. Good clue. Half the numbers eliminated at a stroke! 11? I know, too generous, reducing the valid set of possibilities from infinity, halving them to... Infinity. Any prince in particular? yes, though more guesses and ques...

White Jazz, obviously. Err, what is the question? The question is "Err, what is the question". Ok, now that should cover me either way, thank you :wink: Subject to confirmation, new question is as follows: What number am I thinking of? Initial clues: it has several interesting properties,...

Ok, American author, two books have been into movies, one with Kim Basinger and one with Scarlett Johansson. These are not what im currently reading.

The crime that was committed was that a self-confessed, well educated pedant incorrectly naming one of the most famous books in the history of the English language. That was the crime.

Not sure on the proposed singular/plural crime, though I did misquote the title which should have been (On the) Origin of Species.

We seem certain to get some snow in Northern Ireland. But for a white Christmas it has to be falling somewhere at 12 noon. We'll see. Officially I seem to remember it's something like "a single snowflake falling on broadcasting house at any time during Dec 25th" - they probably need a for...

2 would do if needed, but I'd allow 4-6 if that was viable.

Between 0°C and 3°C (min/max) at our location on Xmas day, with ~40% chance of precipitation during the night/morning; more likely to be rain than snow.

An excellent evening; Thank you to all for their contributions and organisation, including the excellent steaks which were (or at least mine was) cooked perfectly.

A friend of mine had a Celestron 6SE which he was very happy with; though he upgraded within 6 months, which he warns as a common problem with the hobby, and would recommend going for the 8SE if you can afford it!

Perhaps he starts wearing thicker socks, made from wool, reminding him of Woolwich? (though I don't think that's a city, so perhaps somewhere else that wool comes from?)

You start wearing a Tweed jacket, which reminds you of Berwick-on-Tweed?
