Dindeleux Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Sparkling water? Doesn't surprise me. Sparkling water is vile.I remember one night I had taken too many pills in a very very hot nightclub and I suddenly felt very dehydrated and on the verge of a coma. I had to push my way to the bar for water and the barman, who I think knew I was in a bad way, ignored a couple of people to come to me first.“A bottle of water” I cried out.When said bottle had been handed over I took a big massive drink of it and, mid-gulp, discovered it was sparkling water and promptly was sick all over the floor. Ended up getting chucked out.What is sparkling water anyway? Is it just lemonade without the lemons? How do they make it? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was Saville's favourite tipple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Will the cotten not irritate said teeth? They’ll be made out of a non-irritating material. You keep throwing them up, I’ll keep smashing them out the park! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they make it? The Highland Spring 'Factory' at Blackford. One side of the factory is just taps for filling bottles with local tap water and selling it at a fortune, At the other side locals are fed boiled cabbage and made to fart in half the bottles making them 'Sparkling Mineral Water' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 The headphone jack socket on my mobile phone has become slack. It's like a hippo's yawn. This has the undesired effect that the jack for my headphones becomes detached with the merest tug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 1 hour ago, Bairnardo said: As said already, buying bottled water, outside of being droothy and far from ones own tap is for absolute morons. Also, following on from the recent series of Blue Planet, anyone who contributes this particular strain of plastic to the worlds oceans should surely be executed? Its bad enough being stupid enough to think its not tap water, but to inflict that stupidity on innocent marine life is just vile. How about saving a nice bottle or two? Eg M&S’ chunky glass efforts that contain their poncey sparkling soft drinks. Decant some tap water into them and keep them in the fridge (removing from fridge at a time to suit your dellicate gnashers). You’re protecting Mr Whale and will impress Mrs B with your new-found sophistication. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 In fairness to Granny, this sparkling water isn't bad. I don't mind mixing sparkling water with fresh apple or orange juice either. He's wrong about drinking tap water in Scotland though. f**k all wrong with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 We've only got the best tap water just about anywhere on the planet. I found that sparkling water is a big thing in Germany, if you ask for water in a restaurant or otherwise they'll give you sparkling unless you specify that you want still water. I don't mind it but heard plenty of people (Americans) complain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I wanted to buy a small pizza earlier and discovered that the 16" version came with little plastic Bunsen stands, I was intrigued so I opted for a the larger version, now I have too much pizza. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
