Mr name is Scrofula, so I guess Scrofulina might work out ok?

My wife’s allergic to pretty much everything, including pine needles, so we bought a high end artificial one years back. Looks like the real deal and doesn’t leave her in massive discomfort.

Whisky. Ideally a single malt. Double ideally an Islay single malt. Triple ideally a Port Ellen single malt.

Sadly, the Port Ellen distillery was closed in 1983 which means bottles go for a minimum of £1000 (probably more, it's been a while since I last checked). The distillery was apparently reopened last year, but it'll be years before we discover if the new expressions are as perfect as they used to be.

I have Lodge cast-iron skillets, Le Creuset and Staub ceramic-coated cast-iron dutch ovens, Le Creuset stainless saucepans, and one non-stick frying pan (which I bought for my wife).

I use the skillets for pretty much everything that isn't going to be simmered in tomato. Had them for years and they are non-stick. I happily fry eggs in them with no worries whatsoever.

I upvote posts or comments that start with an odd letter, so A, C, E, G, etc. and downvote any that start with an even letter.

Eventually I will shape the world to my will!

I've spent the last few days reenacting the Chicago Bears / Philadelphia Eagles game. So, pretty new, I think?

I see your Irish Rover and raise you A rainy night in Soho with Nick Cave.

Yeah, Lemmy wasn't acting. He was living it.

Axl Rose is...the reason the “musician trashes hotel room” stereotype exists.

Heh. Sweet summer child.

Keith Richards and the Rolling Stones, Keith Moon and the Who, and Led Zeppelin would all like a word.

I saw Shane MacGowan (and the Popes) at some festival or other. The dude was clearly shit-faced, hardly able to stand, and slurring like crazy as he babbled at the crowd. But, once the music kicked in, he sang like he always sings. I guess that probably means he's always shit-faced.

4th, apparently after Christie, Barbara Cartland, and Danielle Steel. What entertains me is in 5th is Enid Blyton with 800 books!

7th of male and female authors.

Pfft. Rowling's sold an estimated 600-650 million books (22 titles). Agatha Christie sold an estimated 2-4 billion books (86 titles).
