Not even "5 mil more" most likely.

Orny reports that the 5M bonuses are hard ones.

It seems like the deal we put on the table was basically 50M + 5M of fairly easy bonuses. What we agreed to is 55M + 5M of the Balon d'Or special.

Realistically, we probably aren't out any more money. If we are, it'll have been fucking worth it.

They did.

The underwater banging noises that were picked up by the authorities earlier this week do not appear to have had any relation to the site of the submersible’s wreckage. “There doesn’t appear to be any connection between the noises and the location on the sea floor” where the debris was found, Mauger said. Previously, the Coast Guard had said that they repositioned their search efforts around where those noises were detected.

Rabiot, from what I hear, was one of Juve's best players (if not the best) last season. Him on a free is shrewd business one way or another.

I'm not super hyped about goalkeepers - AT WORST we let Henderson back in between the sticks.

The chatter being about this Danish kid for striker is really worrying. If that's the best option we're looking at, we're fucked. He might be talented but we'd be desperate to go into a PL/CL season with Martial and a teenager for striking options...

Mount as a player is fine. He's clearly an upgrade in our midfield and I'm sure we'll be quite happy with him.

I'm very concerned that we have like zero movement on the striker front.

We don't have any strikers other than Martial.

Reddit: Reddit is supposed to be a democratic site.

Also Reddit: No not like that!

ACG's review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlkCHD8LPeo

Haven't watched it for the risk of accidentally spoiling anything but he seemed super hyped (at least per his twitter posts).

Hey there!

Sadly a lot of the basic stuff that's out there can be a bit rough, especially stuff you can readily find in most bars/restaurants.

I'd suggest to see if you can find a whisky bar that has a lot on the shelf, Scotch runs the whole gamut between sweet & fruity, light & floral, heavy & smokey, and just about everything in between so there is probably something that will jive with your tastes.

If you like things that are a bit sweeter and fruitier, I'd recommend giving Arran a try (just about any of them should be pretty solid), Aberlour 12 year double cask and Balvenie 10 year are also solid ones to give a go.

If you want something that might be a little more rich, something like Glendronach 10 year might be up your alley.

If you want to try something that is smoky and a bit savory, Ardbeg or Lagavulin are probably good ones to try.

For things that are a little different, I'd suggest Clynelish or Talisker. Clyenlish is fairly light and has a waxy character to it, Talisker is something that will be lightly smokey but also give you some ocean-esque notes.

Hopefully that helps!

To introduce myself, I got into Scotch after a trip with a roommate to the UK. It was during Lent, he had given up alcohol for it and used me to be his personal taste tester of all boozes so he could bring back stuff with him. Got me hooked and I've been drinking it since.

I've been reviewing whisky since early 2018, after a chance encounter with an inspiring bottle of Linkwood. I might not rate that bottle as highly now as I did then, but it certainly sparked a huge shift in my love of whisky.

You might recognize me from reddit, I am also /u/zSolaris there. A bunch of folks I've become friends with reviewing spirits and I have recently launched a new review platform for us, you can check us out at Malt Runners.

Figured I'd wander over after a few days outside touching grass, feeling the wind, etc. Nice to see another community of fans.

 

Didn't see a community for Scotch whisky enthusiasts and figured I'd just get going.

Welcome on in!
