And now I remember why I don't dibble into the Glenfiddich IPA whisky too often.
It's got a much heavier burn than most (extra bite from the hops?) but overall not a massive standout.

Dear YouTube. Has anyone done QA on the app? Comments are a mess (who ever needs to see replies anyway), the back button is a law unto itself and is it so hard to go from shorts to long form and back again without the app having an schizophrenic episode?

#vss365 "Er' th's stain up t'wall, has it always bin there?" Gary asked after noticed a mottled mark in the top corner of the shed.
"Dunno, 's not blood at least or oil." Came the nonchalant reply. "'s more of #fawn colour." This however raised an eyebrow, Fred never got so technical over colours.

#vss365 "Gary, tighter, go on, harder... HARDER ye wimp!"
"Any tighter'n'll cut circulation off"
"'s not my fault yer snapped #lace off last time."
Fred and Gary took safety suits seriously but custom ones made do have their downsides when it comes to being strapped into them.

#vss365 "Awww bugger - Run!" Worrying words to hear. Especially in the vicinity of the shed.
After 10 arse clenching minutes had passed Fred finally confessed "I dropped't FOOF n' was expecting more of a FOOM so I ran."
"Now thee tells me. Tha was proper #pucker factor 5." Gary retorted unclenching

#vss365 wires #crisscrossed the shed floor, attached to machines and levers to Fred finally triggered them one by one. "it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!" Was his jubilant response.
"Will tha' shut up makin bloody racket. Some of us were tryin' ta sleep.. an what's wit all sodding wires?" Gary grumbled

#vss365 "Gary, hast' thee sen 'ole int' garden?" Grumbled Fred.
"Yup, why'd'you think it got s' big? Didn't seem like a problem a'first but ye knows 'ow quickly I get lost digging #rabbit_holes." Fred should have known better than to ask when power tools & pickaxes were scattered on the floor.

I'll never understand some public bins... Take for example the bin outside the copse of trees on my way to work. It not close to a bus stop, there's no houses nearby or parking. But there's a cheap electric fan heater abandoned by the side of it. There's got to be some story behind it.

#vss365 "is that?.. is tha' really what I think 't is?" Remarked the incredulous Gary. "Yep, made'a York stone too" Fred replied snuggly before closing the gate on a ¹/50 scale model of the #Labyrinth they planned to make as a 'summer' project. "Shame there's no Argonauts thou'"

#vss365 Gary retreated from the shed more quickly than usual. Suspiciously so to Fred's mind who was just coming up the path, milk bottle in hand "wh'ts tha going s'fast for?" "Stoich ratio's a bitch wh'n that volume o' #dust 's involved, so wait till't settled will thee?" Came Gary's terse reply.

#vss365 Tongue out, full of concentration, mother on speeddial & double rubbered for protection Gary finally picked up his tools and began to clean up the shed. 4 hours later & the mess was worse than ever. Fred, ever the rational mind chipped in "#Quit whilst tha's ahead'n I'll go put kettle on"

#vss365 on calmer days Fred felt it was time to relax, read a book over a cup of tea and generally take it slow.
The book in question was a thesis on quantum entanglement, stimulating his more #esoteric knowledge on how to apply this to half a tennis ball and nails that would not stay still...

Well, that's a sucky lesson learned. OMV didn't play nice with swapping drive arrays in a kackhanded manner.
Probably best to scrap it and start from scratch (in fairness I sort of knew it wasn't it's final form but now I've got all the drives and array done dockers working over permissions)
