The official TFK list of 🐐 experts - Hurleyers on the ditch

India and its pandemic of the trots.

Depends on the beast I suppose. Throw us up a photo there

Porridge gamechanger toppings and accompaniments.

It’s right up there with dumb/roll eyes ratings of days of yore for getting in amongst a lads zen.

If that’s what you need to tell yourself…

We’ve unearthed a staunch cohort of wine experts apparently.
Not content with expertise in the immediate urgency of immediacy, they’re over there now discussing assorted cheeses and ā€œnibblesā€ to go with the recommended merlots etc.

It’s incredible to see lads who hadn’t an arse in their trousers a decade ago engaging in this manner.

Au contraire it shows how this board has developed into ā€˜modern and chic’

I thought you’d have squeezed your ā€œultracrepidarianā€ term there…

No, TUM has nailed it. They’ll revert to the norm as soon as the championship starts. This is merely one-upmanship currently. We’ll revert to normal once the timber starts flying.
A pandemic driven diversion so it is. :pint:

A well stocked wine cellar really comes into its own should one run out of beer and whiskey

You need to believe in your bollox, I think, to be an ultracrepidarian.

The best word of them all is a word you must know well - a proper spine tingler where your blood feels like it’s made of crackling candy -

kvelling (silent k like the Holy Shrine) - an overwhelming sense of pride in the achievements of people you love

You’d be hard pushed to find a bad carmenere from Chile.

I have to say I’ve found carmenere underwhelming.

I’d say she wasn’t too impressed with you either

The three I had tonight were all completely different.

Not sure I’d rush back.

It was interesting though as the lad explained that fine dining restaurants want aged reds that can taste like Bordeaux at a fraction of price.

It’s all a nonsense but I’m learning the vocabulary to articulate what I might prefer when asking about a wine

South American wines are a bit hit or miss but I’ve had some lovely Cabs and blended reds from Argentina and Chile. Good value as well.

I’d always go for a not too cheap Malbec if I was floundering with a wine list in a restaurant
