    I've never asked someone out on a hint they might be interested

    I'm well aware I piss everyone off on bit tech with mindless **** like this, so I will refrain from posting anything else from now on.

    Bro Im not going to tell you to man up. I am in a similar situation. Hot girl at work has given me the eye and Im not sure if Im seeing things or not.

    I was unshaven and my hair was due a cut and well I was at work so no idea if she's interested.

    Play it cool and ignore these guys.

    I was trying to encourage you not have a go at you :p

    What makes my life awesome right now is getting to do stuff with my brother while I'm home for Christmas.

    I get paid in a few short hours. Which means I am finally buying my headphones.

    Though after my last shift Friday. My hours drop to 16.......

    I see now my reply sounded like a 5 year old

    Being unshaven and slightly long hair will be no barrier, just go for it.

    Just set up a Debian based DHCP server on a spare Raspberry Pi to replace the gawd-awful BT HomeHub 3.0 causing multiple IP Conflicts. Housemates didn't notice I'd switched. Nice to learn something new and useful :)

    Payday.

    5/6 goes to savings, and 1/6 to something nice for myself..

    Or in my case : payday, where 5/6 goes on direct debits and the remainder isn't enough to cover fuel and food :(

    For what you get Bowmore Enigma is really good value (in my opinion).

    My prefered distillery is still Bruichladdich. I have a thing for Waves despite hating the naming conventions they now use.

    If you can get it try Ardbeg Alligator. For something by Ardbeg and a little easier to get hold of but still packs the most hilarious peaty hit go for Ardbegs Corryvreckhan. Completely bonkers stuff. It's a 57.1% peat monster.

    I'm currently working on a japanese 12 yr old thats really rather good but not as peaty as I'd usually like.

    Appreciate the suggestions, Tomhyde. Added Corryvreckhan to the list (not even going to bother trying to pronounce it, though).

    I love me some Bruichladdich too, although, as with the CV above, I just abbreviate it to "Laddie" because I have no idea what to do with that combination of letters.

    I believe its pronounced "Brookladdie." Thats how I say it in my head anyway.

    I find for the money, its hard to beat a 12 yr Glenmorangie Lasanta.. Incredibly drinkable, and you can often find it for ~£24 a bottle.

    I'm not too fond of most Glenmorangies - they tend to be too sweet and vanilla-y for me.

    Anything low on sweetness hits the spot, and I straight up love peat, so my choices are pretty straightforward. A lot of folks like whiskies that are complex. I don't. I like smoke, with just enough going on in the background to keep things interesting. If you have every flavour in the fruit basket and then some, I just lose interest.

    Plus hawt girl at work should be working tonight. Im hoping to get her number or at least find out if she's seeing someone.

    Looks promising from the huge smile I got off her last night.

    le sigh she's way out of my league.

    There's no such thing as a league. It's not an audition...just a game. ;) That said, I'm terrible with women. Still did alright on me own. :D

    Can't wait for a new years party. DAT Drink.
