Brandy comes from the Dutch word brandewijn, ("burnt wine"), which is how the straightforward Dutch traders who introduced it to Northern Europe from Southern France and Spain in the 16th century described wine that had been "burnt," or boiled, in order to distill it.

Spirits, under Gordon Brown's budget tendencies, have gradually become cheaper on the alcohol % relative to beer. Is there any reason for this?

Proportions are what I always look for in a lady when I am appraising her for the purpose of deciding whether to chance my arm. A lady can get away with almost any kind of intellectual standard with me providing her proportions are adequate.
Adequate proportioned ladies may be your taste. I'll stick with a slender lady equipped with brains.
brains are not everything ! but it sure helps when trying to make up a budget .
Budget planning is simply to enter all your expenses and your income on a piece of paper. You can then work out how much money you've got left and provide yourself with a budget summary.

"Anything Goes" was a musical written by a number of people, the songs provided by Cole Porter. The plot, originally involving a mad bomber on a cruise ship, was deemed a tad insensitive and required extensive and hurried changes when reality stepped in and over 125 people were burned to death on such a ship.
Ship board romances were very common in the days of Empire when wives were being transported back and forth between the various outposts and England. It seems the long voyages had an effect on ladies which their domestic duties distracted them from indulging in.
In my extensive travels around the world I have often noted such dalliances. Take a trip on the QEII and you will witness it is still going on.
On the subject of Vladimir Putin, apparently he was 'the sort of boy you don't notice' at school. This attribute probably made him a good KGB agent.
