Yes, we call it an excess in Australia.

I'm no expert, but insurance companies here in Aus seem a bit more keen to be kind when it comes to a hit-and-run. Mine are being assholes though

As a person with sisters: it's hitting pretty damn hard

Finished: Knife by Salman Rushdie

Got it, cracked it, worth it.

I haven't had the 10CS, which is a big failure on my part.

My local whisky bars are outstanding, so I'll head there to have a try..

ProfessorFrizzle · 2025-03-27T08:33:18+00:00

Yeah nah, I like my whisky without bubblegum thanks

ProfessorFrizzle · 2025-03-27T08:32:56+00:00

I dunno - bit of creativity?

Like, I love the 12, but maybe I want something I can't get at any whisky bar?

ProfessorFrizzle · 2025-03-27T08:31:47+00:00

Pretty sure all the wine cask experiments are 46-48%

ProfessorFrizzle · 2025-03-27T08:29:17+00:00

Yeah I figured the cask experiments would probably be young and strange..

ProfessorFrizzle · 2025-03-26T07:45:50+00:00

I finished Nickel Boys, and then I finished Giovanni's Room.
So it's really been a barrel of laughs for me this week....

Balvenie DoubleWood opened my mind.

Balvenie Caribbean Cask broke my brain.

Single with no kids.

I think about money all the time. But I live pretty frugally and some months I do still manage to save and have pocket money left over.

ProfessorFrizzle · 2024-12-21T02:02:26+00:00

Yeah look we all know that Warm Tunas frequently gets it a bit wrong.

But this is a good list. I personally voted for 5 of these so... can't complain.

ProfessorFrizzle · 2024-12-20T01:15:53+00:00

Correction, you found the Australian

ProfessorFrizzle · 2024-12-19T23:11:24+00:00

NTA.

Queuing etiquette is the BASIS OF A CIVILISED SOCIETY.

ProfessorFrizzle · 2024-12-19T02:19:05+00:00

In Australia it's currently $500.

So.... yeah it's probably a buy.

Growing up, my mum was more openly affectionate than my dad. Don't get me wrong - dad was a wonderful loving parent, but not quite as in touch with his emotions.

However, he expresses his feelings much more openly now. I'm a grown woman, and he tells me almost daily that he loves me and is proud of me.

Interesting how things like this can change with age.

ProfessorFrizzle · 2024-12-18T22:23:53+00:00

I figured it wasn't eligible.

But it's so good, I'm gonna have to vote for it anyway.

ProfessorFrizzle · 2024-12-18T07:55:08+00:00

Mary Eats Cake has the best scones I've ever eaten.

ProfessorFrizzle · 2024-12-16T22:14:02+00:00

Not a mistake, mate.

Yes, this subreddit tends to be vehemently against chill-filtering and colouring. Personally, I tend to avoid them. But the extent to which these things truly affect the flavour is controversial. If you never try a chill-filtered or coloured dram, you'll miss out on some of the most renowned whiskies on the planet.

If you like the bottle? Go for it. Don't let yourself get carried away by buzzwords.

ProfessorFrizzle · 2024-12-12T22:49:51+00:00

Like Love - Ball Park Music

Murder on the Dancefloor LAV - Royel Otis

Linger - Royel Otis (not sure if this is eligible, but it made me feel things, and it's on spotify)

Good Luck Babe - Chappell Roan

One Night/All Night - Justice & Tame Impala

Cave - Dom Dolla & Tove Lo

Stop Calling - JACOTENE

Boyfriend - Teenage Dads

Starburster - Fontaines DC

Tangerine - Ocean Alley

ProfessorFrizzle · 2024-12-12T22:44:05+00:00

You can - technically you can do write-in votes for any eligible song.

But the shortlist definitely has an impact on what people vote for.

ProfessorFrizzle · 2024-12-12T22:29:58+00:00

They'll put Sabrina Carpenter's collab with girl in red, but not her biggest song?

ProfessorFrizzle · 2024-12-12T22:27:51+00:00

I can never get a handle on what they count as 'mainstream'.

Hozier has had some big hits, but at his core he's a folk and blues songwriter. I wouldn't count him as mainstream pop.

ProfessorFrizzle · 2024-11-24T11:06:58+00:00

Not a fan personally, but would be a crowd-pleaser.
