2 things- don’t leave wooden items to soak, they absorb water (and whatever’s in that water). Secondly, proper wood has an anti-bacterial effect. Test have been done on butchers blocks and found little to no bacteria action even after being used with bad meat.

I can confirm, vodka and coke is a thing here.

Only ever did a night of vodka/Red Bull once. The shakes, the feeling that I needed to sleep and the completely wired I-cannot-go-to-sleep made sure that was a once only experience.

I’d probably go with a pale ale (not an IPA, APA or any of the other variants). It’s a low ABV, decent body, and the hops are mainly bittering (but not too high on the IBUs) with possibly a little citrus. Readily accessible.

In Ireland, if St Patricks falls on a Thursday, we get Friday off as well (National Hangover Day). In my company, we also get Monday off if St Patricks falls on a Tuesday. And as it’s a bank holiday, we always get the Monday off if it falls on a Saturday or Sunday.

You sound like a frothing shinner- so no reasonable discussion here then.

I hated the V adaptation- the Wakoffski siblings did not get the source material at all. But in a way, Watchmen was worse- it bored me.

As I keep repeating, it wasn’t that the Doctor was going to be a woman that worried me about the future of the show, it was that the lead writer was going to be Chris Chibnall.

“ONE CHEESEBURGER, CORAL!!!”

Flash Gordon- Queen

No, wealthy catholic landowners got in on the act too.

Hmmm, I’d go with:
