@sparks not tried it yet but a new addition I do like a dark non spiced rum

The Rum Bar one above was ok but more a mixer I’d say

Evolution 255 mitre saw to replace an aging performance power by B&Q. Hope I made a decent choice. Doesn't come with a dust bag. They must have ex Ford personnel specifying what should come with a saw !

A saw without a bag does your old bag fit it

My old one is ripped but perhaps so. Evolution sell the accessory kit separate, another £29.99 from Amazon which includes the clamps and bag but it still worked out about £15.00 cheaper overall.

Anyone buying an evolution mitre saw needs to make sure it has the + symbol after the model number.

Not tried that one....
Latest for me is a bottle of Woods 100 I acquired. It was always considered a good substitute for a proper Royal Navy tot, before the advent of Pussers.
I'm not sure of the age but it's at least 1980's and possibly 70's....
Nice trip down memory lane, I'll be having a couple this evening....

Nice looks a good rum

I’ve tried it now and it’s very nice neat or a mixer reminds me a bit like Havana Club Espiciale Arejo but more rounded

I’ve always got a bottle of this in the cupboard as mixed with coke is so velvety

For all you ex Matelots, Amazon have a deal on Pussers gunpowder proof rum at the moment. Closest to the rum used for the tot.

Yep, thanks.. Ordered a couple of bottles, The Admiralty Blue label and a bottle of the Gunpowder proof. I finished my last bottle of Blue label a couple of weeks ago.
I still have half a bottle of 151 which is 75.5% proof and proving to be a drink you can only take once in a while or well mixed. I only have it when I know I'm not driving for 24 hours...

Wow that is some amazing rum. Incidentally, I put in a link to the product but this only appeared as an Amazon logo, any reason for this?

[Sparks]

Not sure why the link didn't work...I didn't see it until I replied with the quote and I took it out for the reply.
One way to ensure it shows is to highlight the link then tap on the link symbol above the box.
I'll give it a try in case anyone else wants it.
