Live Aid on Beeb 2

Everyone knows that pure water is tasteless. Tap water isn’t pure water and contains minerals and additives that can give it a slight taste.

Wrong! If someone can drink it, and then identify what they are drinking, how on earth can it be tasteless. It’s absolutely ferking preposterous in this day and age, people would even say that.

To show balance, I'll reiterate that J_B said 'pure' water. Which is as close to tasteless as possible. It's also something that 99% of people will never taste.

Thank you, I honestly missed that bit.

Google “is pure water tasteless?”

So can we all agree that pure water is indeed tasteless?

 

[jack123]

Wrong!

I’m not, I guess it’s all down to your personal definition of what tasteless actually means? I know what tasteless means, and the sheer definition of it, is incorrectly used. Like you would use the term tasteless if having a shoddy meal, as in the food did not taste like it should have. To use the term for describing water is completely unacceptable in my humble opinion.

But none of us has ever tasted pure water, so it's a "No" from me!

(Btw I have tasted Spectroscopic ethanol during my undergrad chemistry years)

Theoretically.

Not convinced…

Edited to add:
That was about Sue Barker and Cliff Richard not about water, pure water, taste and the absence thereof. I just hit the wrong reply button.

Anyway my apologies, talking about a silly subject such as this. It makes no odds one way or another. Could go back and forth all night, bit like a pantomime, oh yes he is, oh no he’s not.! The more pressing matter is that I’m about to run out of beer.

Anyway, I got one of these on my Koi pond

And the Koi love the water

Tell the mrs to sort herself out and go and get you some, or she can sleep in the shed tonight

 

[jack123]

Yes, I was going to wait for wales to go 2 up, and get her a nice curry then smuggle a pack of ten in, but bloody hell I have literally run out 2 hours before I expected to.

Edit last drink for a few weeks, so ferk it, just hope I can convince her
