That was quite a long period between the original and the echo, though.  
If I'd known it was a different "The Heath," I'd have made a different 
move. ;)

So with all the money you save on razor blades you could afford to
upgrade your whisky ;-)
I'll post a selfie on November 30th. The 'tash is coming off on December
1st.

What is there about "I prefer drinking the low flyer (Grouse)" that 
people will not understand? :-)
As for buying razors a cheap disposable will last me 5 to 6 weeks. So 
the cost does not signify.

Of all the blended whiskies, the Grouse is probably the best. Offer me
one and I'll drink it.

I bet! ;-)

J & B is drinkable too. A bit too mild for my taste. As long as it is 
not peaty I will coat my throat.

No, not in the slightest. I am happy that I do not have a heavy growth. 
It makes life easier. (I never had to worry about looking manly. I don't 
care and as for maturity, my early onset silver hair (at 13) takes care 
of that.)

...and there's where we differ. The peatier, the better. If there's a
touch of iodine in there, then I'm in Heaven. Hence, my love of the
Islay malts.

So, how young were you when you got served in a pub unchallenged? In my
case, I had serious chest hair at 15/16 so no problem there provided I
left the top two buttons of my shirt undone. I wasn't asked my age until
I was 21 but I think the landlord was just being perverse.

I am in the minority, I realise.

Now there is a thing. I started going to pubs when I was 15 occasionally 
at lunch time while I was at school. Almost as soon as I turned 18 I 
started getting asked my age. The last time I was asked, was when I was 
25. Go figure!
As for chest hair, I had three when I was 22. A few more now but not 
enough to keep me warm.

Both moves in the same game, though.  This wasn't Marshall's Variation, 
otherwise it would've been legal.

Oh, I'm not disputing that.  But multiple branches of the same Heath are

As Sven is a little strapped for cash and is looking for some way to 
supplement his income. He says that he would be willing to try any

Ah, now there's some incentive, fortunately, you've kept talking, giving 
him the opening he's looking for. ;)

Once you hear it, you keep on hearing it. :-(

Finally sorted it.
Unfortunately I've run out of beer tokens, will a whisky token be
acceptable?

:)

I like hotter peppers myself, but I also don't eat them just for the heat 
- I can actually taste the differences between them (I'm usually also not 
eating them raw, as there's no point - other than to combat the side 
effects of my allergies).

Or something. ;)

I just said that for effect. I don't eat raw chillies. Although my wife 
does. She keeps them in the freezer and will eat one if her stomach is 
sore. I don't really like the taste of the hotter ones. Too much like 
Islay mist. ;-)

Well, yeah, I figured it was for effect.  Sven also likes a fairly hot 
chili pepper, so I'm told. ;)

Though not exactly restful.  :)  Better as a wake-up soundtrack rather 
than a "trying to fall asleep" soundtrack.

Well, the instrument is not designed for lullabies, I think.
Slow airs, maybe. :-)

If being abruptly awake is your thing.  I prefer a gradual wake-up. :)
