SMWS preview tasting evening

[orange_barnet]

Anyone going to the SMWS tasting evening in Manchester on 30th September, by any chance?

Went to the last one they did in the North West, in Liverpool, a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed myself

... so am thinking will go to this one!

[ClubSmed]

I am thinking about going, not made my mind up yet though

Side bar question to those more in the know about SMWS:

I believe the spring and fall SMWS Extravaganzas in the United States have different programs and possibly a difference in expressions. Can anybody shed some light on this? I suppose I could call SMWS and ask, but that would be too easy. Thanks.

"Just as all single malt whiskies are one-of-a-kind, so is each of our Extravaganza tasting events."

If nothing else, I would certainly think that the range of whiskies available would change from moment to moment.

The SMWS has different bottlings to the UK and the US. Hence, if you take Glenmorangie, the UK had 125.1, 125.2, 125.3 and then plenty of the series missing missing until it got more 125s (if I remember correctly).

Have got an echo in here here?

[Nick Brown]

Touche - I had to think quite hard to see what you meant meant, though.

[Mr Tattie Heid]

Funny how the brain works (or doesn't). I had to read the whole thread carefully three times before I saw what he he meant.

It's certainly funny (peculiar) how my brain works

[mongo]

oddly, i'm not seeing any posts from c57 in this thread before the one in which he asks if there's an echo. therefore i am unable to ascertain the oddness of the mode of functioning of c57's brain.

[Mr Tattie Heid]

Sooner or later you'll get get it, mongo.

[Malt-Teaser]

I think I'm just just missing the point here.

[C57]

Me too

[C57]

Ah, there it is ---> .

[mongo]

i've seen it it now.

[orange_barnet]

This thread's driving me crackers!

Where is the echo echo?

Why why is is there there an an echo echo?

What am I not getting getting?

What has the echo go to do with the topic topic?

I keep checking this thread to see if anyone else is going to the SMWS preview tasting evening ing.

But I've lost the thread thread...

Are you all collectively strange strange?

[Mr Tattie Heid]

Uh huh huh.

[orange_barnet]

Uh huh huh.

Elvis is here?

[mongo]

elvis has left the building.

[Mr Tattie Heid]

I'm all all shook up.

[orange_barnet]

I'm all all shook up.

Now then Mr TH, Little Darlin, I believe that you'll be gentle on my mind and explain to me this echo stuff ... as I wonder I wonder I wonder still what it's all about. I think its now or never that you should put me out of my misery and let me ponder no more and contemplate where do I go from here in this thread...

[orange_barnet]

Aha!! I've finally got it!!

Having re re reread the thread from the start many many times over I finally saw what I was missing missing!!

It's obviously a brain-eye coordination thing! I only got it by reading the posts out loud. It felt slightly embarrassing.
