Man asked: God, why did you make women so beautiful?
God replied: So that you might fall in love.
Man asked: OK. But why are they so stupid sometimes?
God replied: So that they might be able to fall in love with you...

Buongiorno amici ! :D

A lady goes to the family doctor with black eyes and
body full of bruises.
While she talk to him admits that the injuries were caused by her husband.
< But, I thought that your husband was on holiday. >
And she said: Ehh ... I was thinking too…!

Cheers, hic!



I love mulled wine, esp the ones I used to make. I had it the first time in Praha/CZ and I slept for 16 hours. The sweetest sleep I have ever had. I did not drive a car in Chechoslovakia (as it was known then) :lol:


Traditionally they used to plunge a red hot poker into the wine to warm it. Our local pub has a mulled wine dispenser on the bar, I had four glasses one night but it had no effect, I reckon they add loads of spices and then water it down to boost profits.


Some mulled wines are likely to be virtually non-alcoholic, particularly if boiled, as the heating process can cause boiling off of the alcohol: I think the Alcohol boils at about 90 C.

Now if one was to put some sort of a collection system over the top of the wine, carefully control the heating, to about 90C then condense the evaporated fluids.....

Ethanol bols at 78 deg C. You an cover the mulling wine, but just heat it not over 70 deg C or reinforce it later. :? ( never reinforced it myself. :lol:

Reinforce Deniz, that's the spirit :lol: . I assume it's the chemist's term for adding ethanol. Boozers call it fortifying.

Are you snowed in yet?

I worked late last night and had decided to stay home anyway. I knew the forecast. They are gritting our roads just now. After an incident last year, I refuse to take anymore chances.

Weather update indicates that Thursday evening the temps will fall to - 5 deg C. The snow is melting now, that means if they do not do a few more rounds of gritting, Friday also will be a day off. The weekend is a promised warm (comparative) time ; as high as +2 deg C. Isnt that marvellous.lol.
