Does everyone know about how the MD in MD20/20 stands for Mogen David? I'd recommend youse all stock up on that to avoid causing offence next time you go over to the Rabbi's house, I remember the blue raspberry favour being particularly exquisite.

Hahahaha. Amazing.

No! Mad Dog 20/20 surely...?

ETA And I'm not alone.... Viral picture shows shocking fact you (probably) didn't know about MD 20/20

Not had elderflower wine but I've made elderflower champagne and elderflower cordial and they were fucking lovely

I think I prefer elderflower champagne over real champagne

 

[killer b]

Pleasantly surprised by the unexpected levels of weirdness reached here .

it's the best thread on urban atm by some distance.

Yep me too it's gorgeous stuff - if you can prevent the bottles from exploding.

I actually prefer champagnoise to champagne - working class champagne

 

[ska invita]

Ive had some Passover Wine before....I liked it but i tend to like alcohol. I remember it being quite portish

veuve clicque costs £40 a bottle, i expect julie was jsut showing off

Elderflower anything makes me heave.

And Rosehip. That can get to fuck too.

I can never get over how, as mentioned in that article, Americans apparently call it "bum wine". One of those expressions that really doesn't cross the Atlantic well.

I'm the opposite - proper wine is rank, elderflower cordial is quite nice, so if the homebrew stuff tastes more like elderflower cordial and less like real wine it can't be all bad.

Has anyone ever tried a meaty wine?

Sad how mass produced media driven consumer society has conned people into believing that good old traditional honest individual home produced food and drink in its infinite variety is inferior in some way.

Bobby Krlic's Midsommar soundtrack isn't much commented on, but I thought it was all sorts of magnificent. Glorious drone strings with some real emotional depth.

 

[marty21]

(I have drunk elderflower champagne, and all other manner of homebrewed boozes over the years. I've always nodded very politely about how delicious it was, before either forcing it down or pouring it into a nearby houseplant)

((((Houseplants)))

It's weird seeing this, on such a thread. Understand that urban uses it in a different way than the unsettling intended way... but still...

What's the unsettling intended way?

[krtek a houby]

The ((( ))) stuff. Only found out a few years back that it's used by fash types for identifying Jewish people.

 

[Sue]

So it's no more an intended way than the way it's used here.

 

[Orang Utan]

It’s just means ‘I embrace’ here

 

[Puddy_Tat]

It’s just means ‘I embrace’ here

Think it's better to use more than 3 brackets on here though - 3 brackets seems to be the dubious specific

I don't expect it is anymore tbh. they probably have some new secret code now.

 

[krtek a houby]

Obviously nobody here uses it in the fash way!

 

[killer b]

it only has a dubious meaning in very specific circumstances, ie when used by fascists on their fascist forums five years ago. You can tell it doesn't mean that here, because they're round a houseplant and it's not 2015. And we aren't fascists.

On closer inspection, it is 4 and then 3 brackets above... damn my eyes

Or maybe marty21 is in deep cover and has something against houseplants....

And God knows what's going on on in knobbing and sobbing.

 

[killer b]

Maybe Marty21 was the fascist Marty after all!?

 

[Orang Utan]

I knew it. No one can be that loveable. ))) marty21 (((

It's one of those things, a bit like woke in its way, where I think that even when it was in use, it probably got used as a form of "virtue-signalling" by wanky Burchillesque philosemite dickhead types showing their allyship more than by actual fash. But if marty21 does actually think all houseplants are Jewish, that would be one hell of a theory.

Putting the brackets that way around just makes me think of Me and You and Everyone We Know:
