[09:29:52] <FatPhil> HOw the fuck can it take 36 hours to get a package from Holland to Estonia, and then take 6 days (and counting) to get it from Estonia to elsewhere in Estonia?!?!? Grrrr...
[09:31:55] * boru chuckles.
[09:51:59] <chromas> Maybe it's like the super cheap shipping where it goes out to another state and then back to the one it came from
[09:52:45] * chromas crooked-eyes fedex smartpost
[10:08:38] <FatPhil> I suspect that it's in a depot, and they've mailed a slip to me via snailmail which will tell me where I can collect it.
[10:09:27] <FatPhil> Which would be a bummer, as it's big and heavy, and I don't drive.
[10:11:34] <chromas> What about a bike with a trailer?
[10:22:44] <FatPhil> I own no vehicles, it's legs or public transport. However, the booze cruisers that frequent town have ensured that foldable trolleys for beer/vodka crates are common and cheap.
[10:24:01] <boru> Pft, back in Ireland, we hijack our booze cruisers on horseback.
[10:24:32] <FatPhil> which reminds me, I had a glorious honey potcheen the other day
[10:29:51] <boru> Sounds awful. Poitín ought to be pure.
[10:30:25] <boru> I don't mind subtle flavouring in my Siberian spirits, but not my poitín.
[10:32:25] <FatPhil> it was distilled from fermented honey, rather than flavoured with honey. It wasn't a medovucha.

[11:03:01] <boru> Ah, so distilled mead?
[11:17:38] <FatPhil> presumably something along those lines. it was very clean, that's what impressed me. 43%, but not even the tiniest harshness or heat.
[11:21:51] <FatPhil> Ah, found it: http://www.samogon.lv

[11:34:22] <boru> Interesting.
[11:40:45] <boru> Where could I get some of that to try, I wonder.

[21:45:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, his platform's actually the best i've seen in my lifetime.
[21:53:50] <FatPhil> TheMightyBuzzard: but he still hasn't eaten his own dick. He needs to keep his promises before I give him any credibility.
[21:54:30] * TheMightyBuzzard boggles
[21:54:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> you want a politician to keep a promise? are you mad?
[21:55:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think he's a nutter of the first order by the way. i just think the platform's a good one.
[21:59:13] <FatPhil> he's not a politician yet...
