A cute what?

Re: What are you drinking?

Jonesy...those tins...how many spoons of the powder do you add to a glass of water? More to the point, how do you manage to say "Bruichladdich" after a glass? Seems that Filonian might make that sound if he's given a taste of it! Oh, and I looked at those Airsoft guns, now I need a drink! ...
