Houston

Yeah probably. Key West was an afterthought and def want to go back, seems a place you could combine a relaxed / activity packed week. Orlando went to Universal. Pro tip: go on weekdays and use the single rider lanes, even when there's a few of you in a group, unless a younger child doesn't...

Just winding up about three weeks. Honolulu, Houston, New Orleans (NYE), Memphis, Nashville, Miami, Key West and Orlando. Great times, wish I could stay longer at a few. Can give more info later!

Out and about last night and came across a place with some Indian whiskies - I tried an Amrut peated old-fashioned - very nice! Never tried Indian whisky before - another path to explore!

5th / 6th Jan (Fri Sat nights)

Will be heading there just after xmas - Houston first, then NYE in the Big Easy, then a bit of travelling around. Got a solid itinerary already, but any tips on where to have the most fun in Nashville?

Or they are Robocop fans?

Home of Techno and Motown music as well, bit of history there too.

https://www.theage.com.au/business/companies/holy-grail-bottle-of-whisky-expected-to-fetch-2-3-million-at-auction-20231020-p5edqa.html Anyone wanna go halves / thirds / etc?

OK so I'm doing the trip between xmas and new year. NBA game is on the list - anyone know the best place to secure a decent ticket? Depending on dates and fixtures would be looking to go to a home game of Pelicans, Grizzlies, Heat or Magic. Any of those stadiums better options than others...

There may be others but ING Debit VISA card is pretty good. You get the VISA exchange rate which is much better than any retail rate you'll find, and provided you fulfil some basic criteria you get all international transaction fees refunded. UBank debit card has a good option too, they might...

Yeah I've got a bit of Glendronach 12 and Glenlivet 12 in a bottle, tastes nice, perhaps dominated slightly by the Glendronach. Have a few Australian malts (Starward, Lark) that I might add a bit of in the coming weeks.

I've done some initial online research, it seems the best way to go is to start conservative. As you maintain the bottle, if you are thinking of adding something, pour a bit out of the infinity bottle into a glass first and then add a small amount of your new 'inclusion'. If it tastes ok then...

So I'm thinking of starting an infinity bottle. Anyone here done (or should I say doing) this and got any tips? I'm an Islay kind of guy but I think I'll leave them out, too strong. Perhaps start with some Speyside/Highland mixes, and over time add dashes of stuff from elsewhere, even some...

Yeah had a few Saturday then healthy for a week after that!

Did my first half today, great conditions smashed my target time. Great pre and post race atmosphere too. Most fun I've had at the MCG in..... a week I suppose. 😁

Agreed, especially in absolute terms. I think metropolitan locations need a separate category almost - the "oasis" factor can be quite appealing.

I've already said it but it needs repeating. The original Milo Bar. * that was good.

A few years ago Macca's ditched the curry sauce option for McNuggets. Now the sweet mustard is gone too. Disastrous.

Had one recently at the Wharf Hotel in Melbourne. Seemed nice but tasted a bit dry. That's when i realised they put tomato in it. s**t.

The first video was a bit so so, he makes a good point that one needs to really own our decisions to do things; but he kind of ignores the instant vs ongoing gratification issue. The second guy understands this a lot better, especially comparing us to animals but maybe struggles to remedy The...

As for crap ones, I recall seeing in the front bar of a pub in country SA a chicken parma where they used a Kraft single for the cheese.

Can't remember the new name of the place, but it used to be the Belgian beer cafe near ether RVIB opposite Wesley. They do a fancy sort of parma, that is actually quite good.

Yeah forgot about this - remember there will be older people who will expect a degree of decorum. Perhaps ease up on the booze until your official duties are done as well.

Less is more. You are there to help the night along and let everyone enjoy themselves, not make yourself centre of attention. Your primary responsibility is to make sure the night runs along smoothly and you communicate proceedings to the guests. Make sure you have a timeline/running sheet of...

If you have been going for six months perhaps a week or even two max with no running at all is what you need. Even the elites take a break now and then.

Not a skier myself but mates say Japan is the shizzle. Lots of good snow and hardly any people/waiting.

Inspired by the chocolate bars thread, but Milo bars (the original type) really miss those...

pretty much - but in general organically grown food tends to be better for the environment (though not always, The Checkout on the ABC did a good segment on this), but not better or worse for human health. Home grown vegetables taste better than supermarket, but I think that has less to do with...
