We've still got a load of whisky left over from Christmas, and now it's really hot it'd be nice to make some kind of cocktail with it. Ideally something simple (ie, doesnt involve buying a different sort of alcohol to mix with it).
I used to make these when I drank:

Whiskey with some sugar syrup and lemon/lime juice can be good and summery! Or just whiskey with ginger ale/coke and some ice (although I'm sure you've thought of that)

Someone gave me one of those at one of your house parties. I was expecting it to be rank, but it was actually pretty good to be fair

So general consensus seems to be citrus then, cheers guys!
Also I can't believe ginger ale didn't occur to me
I love whisky and ginger wine as a winter drink, so ginger ale seems to be the logical summery version!

I have an interview later today for a marketing/sales role at a company in Brighton and this question is probably going to come up, as it always does
"Where do you see yourself progressing to within the next 5 years?"
The only reason I'm going for the job is because i wanna move to brighton and in truth, right now in 5 years I dont want to have anything to do with marketing, I've always just seen where life takes me,
but that answer has never worked in interviews before
so does anyone have any advice on this one?

Well they are asking the question to identify if you have personal ambition, a drive to succeed and commitment to the company/industry so I generally just construct some spiel about how I want to progress up their ladder and be given a responsible position/change the world/be allowed to wear to wear my underpants on the outside and carry off vulnerable women to safety. All that jazz.

I'd just be really vague. Like "performing a rewarding role in a challenging environment" or some bollocks like that.

Say you want to "pursue the policy of collectivization in agriculture to facilitate the process of rapid industrialization."

I hate that question too. I'm never sure whether to be over-ambitious or realistic. I applied for a job at Boots head office, thinking I wanted to go into advertising and marketing, and they asked that question. Had no idea what to put so I said I saw myself in charge of a whole branded line of products. No idea if they appreciated it or not, the maths exam scuppered me.
