Well, you don't need a still, a good freezer will do the job.

Screech and kiss the Cod, yeah, they do that in the Newfoundland St John's Campus we've got in Harlow, on the Herts Essex border. They call it rum, but it doesn't taste like any other rum I've tasted. Good stuff though. No shortage of Screech these days, I gather - but a fresh Cod is a lot harder to get. (Incidentally - any Mudcatters in Newfoundland know of students coming on a placement over here at the campus, who like the music, get in touch.)

The old lab alcohol. I hadn't thought of that for years. Beautiful stuff. Every college lab used to have a still going all the time, and it livened all the parties.
