I should've quizzed this thread for everyone's opinion, actually.

We didn't want to be too controversial - hope it doesn't read like we're poking the hornet's nest unnecessarily?

Second column is up: https://www.abouttimemagazine.co.uk/drink/taming-of-the-brew-craft-beers-of-the-week/

Happy days. If it isn't deemed spam, I'll post it here when it's published.

^ If it's not immediately obvious, I am a complete novice when it comes to all of this.

Tried to find a website building thread but couldn't. So I appeal to the polymaths that frequent this thread...

I'm building an e-commerce website using WordPress and Flatsome. Yesterday, I integrated WooCommerce products onto one of my five pages and the UX builder is now incredibly slow. Is this coincidence or might I have done something stupid? Any obvious reasons why the Wordpress website builder would be so slow?

Appreciate I'm opening myself up to a barrage of abuse (and rightly so, if you think it's crap), but a friend and I just started a craft beer column for About Time Magazine. Slightly vanilla beers for our first week, but it'll get more adventurous. Intrigued to hear people's thoughts... https://www.abouttimemagazine.co.uk/drink/taming-of-the-brew-craft-beers-week/

Audiophiles - I need your help. Best in-ear wireless headphones for £150 or under?

Came here to post that. Absolute gold....“Doubling down on our humanness will be the magic in how we drive better outcomes.”

Just like we shouldn't tolerate all cyclists being called red light jumping tossers based on the behaviour of some idiots, we shouldn't tolerate all golfers being called racist, arse wipes based on the behaviour of some idiotic golf clubs.

I'm not surprised, you display no signs of being a white, privileged racist arse wipe.

Wow. Seriously? I've got the 1970s on the phone - they want their lazy stereotype back.

Entry(ish) level whiskeys with all the smoky, peaty goodness:

Both bangers.

Let me know what you think. Apparently We Brought Beer are gonna have it on tap in Clapham Junction and wondering whether it's worth the trip over on Saturday.

Anyone got their mitts on the Cloudwater NW DIPA Citra yet?

Where do you live, SuperMario? When you're not in Mushroom Kingdom.

A good example of the downside of written word. Does she mean 'sensational' in the 'startling, shocking' sense or 'very good, very impressive' sense?

Where did I do that?

Describing a word as 'incorrect' suggests there is an immutable, correct version of every word. Which implies that someone at some point has decided all meanings are final. I just don't think it's that concrete. Meanings are constantly changing and have been for hundreds of years. I'm playing an Oliver Kamm-esque devil's advocate role here, I'll admit. ;)

Usage makes language evolve. We can't pick an arbitrary moment where everything is correct and totally resistant to change.

Norma loquendui. If it's being used regularly, it can't be incorrect. The choice of 'forecourt' vs 'forefront' is a stylistic one. I would choose 'forecourt' every day of the week because clarity is paramount and there's clearly confusion. But that doesn't mean 'forefront' is incorrect.

My Dad got hold of some Amrut fusion single malt. First Indian whiskey I've ever tried. Really, really good.

Lyle's is a gem. Not sure how spenny it is these days but it was around £70 a head when I went a few years ago..

My thang: convincing clients that complex ideas don't necessarily need to be described in complex language.

Copywriter for a marketing agency here. Howdy.

FWIW - we had a great trip and got lucky with some of the places we went. Happy to give recommendations for anyone heading to Mumbai.

We're staying at the Abode Hotel in Colaba.
