First world disaster

[Bobc]

Oh no! My fridge has packed up.

How will I survive without ice for my g&t...

 

[mjcoon]

You could try my solution from back when charter/flotilla yachts did not commonly have fridges... I took a cassette (they had players for those) of the sound of ice clinking in a glass. Never very convincing, though!

 

[greeny]

Get some resin and cast yourself some ice cubes in a rubber/ silicon ice cube tray. Voila! Never need a fridge again with all the battery consumption problems that come with it.

You don't need ice in rum.

I’m no expert but I think a newer, bigger boat is the solution

 

[Bobc]

Good point

You don't need ice in rum.

Good point well made

 

[Bobc]

I don't need anything bigger thanks.

I have a solution though. I just used the other fridge (the boat has 2).

You can drink brandy warm.

Get down to Lidl for the ice or have a block delivered by bicycle wrapped in newspaper if in Turkey I recall.

After spending July in the hot Empuriabrava summer I intend to invest in an Alpicool C9 fridge/freezer on the next trip. G&T with no ice is just primitive!

A can of compressed air, a small towel and some water. Soak the towel in water, wrap the towel around the glass holding the drink and then let loose with the compressed air. The evaporation of water induced by the jet of compressed air will cool the drink nicely enough and you will not require ice ! Unfortunately, I cannot claim that this is my invention, due acknowledgement must go to Christian Williams, in his book "Alone Together".

You should drink brandy warm.

 

[lustyd]

You should drink brandy warm.

Oh all right, I don't have to be told twice, even at 3:39 in the afternoon

Southampton boat show is only 8 days away.

 

[johnalison]

You should drink brandy warm.

Nah. The brandy should be at room or cellar temperature and warmed in the glass while you pretentiously swill it around in the cup of your hand.

 

[lustyd]

No brandy candles in your house then?

 

[SC35]

No brandy candles in your house then?

I never knew such a thing existed.

 

[AntarcticPilot]

No brandy candles in your house then?

Looks like old equipment used to make carbon black!

My wife consumed an unspecified quantity of whisky(12 years) and was pretty well off to the land of nod all afternoon…her excuse was I teased her chronic neck pain
