    @bertie ; according to gigging friends, the National range of thumbpicks is worth considering

    Know exactly what you mean re food. The exact same thing happens to me =)

    But thumbpick-wise, if it was me, I'd be trying Graph Tech tusq. You can get "Bright", "Deep", "Warm" so you can choose whichever suits :)

    And ain't that the bloody truth! Mrs Tannin and I drink Rakia, which is a Croatian spirit made from grapes. (Or pears, or green walnuts, or almost anything.) The only place in the whole of Tasmania which stocks it is the Dan Murphys in Hobart. (Dan Murphy is a gigantic national liquor barn chain which has these huge sheds filled with every sort of grog you could possibly imagine.)

    Anyway, first the bastards moved it - and it's no joke finding something in Dan Murphys, the places are enormous, and the staff didn't know where it was anymore either. But we got that sorted. Now the bastards have discontinued it. So, seeing as I am in Ballarat this week (that's in Victoria, or about as far north of home in the Huon Valley as London is west of Copenhagen) I thought I'd see if they had any left ion the Ballarat store. Look it up online, no worries, though their stupid website seemed to have the price wrong. Went into  the shop .... and looked and looked and looked. Looked at every bloody bottle in the entire spirits section. The staff couldn't find it either. Eventually we tracked it down to a completely different part of the store where they keep short-term specials. And the price on-line wasn't wrong. They really were throwing it out for $42 a bottle. (It is normally $65.) So I bought 10 bottles. Then I went to the Delacombe store (a different suburb of Ballarat) and bought another half-dozen at the bargain price. 

    Next time we buy rakia, it will have to be by mail order. But it might take us more than a few days to drink the ones we have got.:)

    Anyway, I can tell you that as of yesterday there is no more rakia to be had anywhere in Ballarat - 'cause I bought the bloody lot!

    (Just as well I'm taking the car ferry home - I'd never get all those bottles into my carry-on luggage if I was flying.)
