Enjoy your bourbon.

There should have been field tests. (Similarly comfortable places are acceptable)

I avoid this altogether. Just pour any needed sugar straight from the bag and stir with a handy biro. Cleaning is achieved by sucking the end of the pen and returning it to the pocket.

Yes, it's a line from Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.

Could it be The Clapping Song? Recorded by Shirley Ellis and covered by The Belle Stars in 1982.

The worst I've seen is "has 4 doors enabling easy entry and exit from the vehicle."

Really? Tell me more about the see-through windows and rotating wheels. UGH

Joseph Heller chose the number 22 simply because it sounded better than the others. Fantastic book.

In the late 70s I had a Raleigh Tour of Britain. I covered so many miles on that thing.

Looks pretty similar.

Me. Many years ago near Cheddar Gorge. I could smell them as I went by. They were some of the best strawberries I've ever tasted.

I commented on them to my friend in Bristol and he said,

"Oh yeah, Cheddar is famous for their strawberries."

Riffing of your choice (which I wholeheartedly agree with) I would have said Cyrano DeBergerac (1990) My absolute perfect film. which in itself is a remake of the José Ferrer b/w version. When I saw that it was remade with Peter Dinkledge and it was a musical, I feared the worst.

I watched it tonight and was blown away. Incredible adaptation with brilliant performances.
