There you go, I can detect sour and bitter, but I couldn't tell you if it was acidic or just sour.

There isn't any difference unless you can smell it.

(A few years ago I entirely lost the ability to smell sour milk. It can 
go solid or blobby in beverages before I can tell. I can taste it's sour 
though.)

You smell it when it's in your mouth, provided you're breathing at the same time, giving you time to spit it out.  I feel rather off all day if I drink sour milk.

I wouldn't drink it if I could smell it. Anyway I mainly use milk in 
tea, especially in the summer (when I have grapefruit, fresh or canned, 
for breakfast rather than cereal or porridge with milk); milk goes 
blobby in hot beverages.

I find hot drinks disgusting.  Both the blobby milk, and it just seems wrong to quench your thirst with something which isn't cool.  Food should be warm and drinks cool.  I associate hot with dry.  To cool and wet something go together.

Milk can be frozen without losing flavour (unlike cottage cheese).  You can also buy filtered milk which lasts longer.

Indeed. We get a (single) delivery of five 2-pint bottles each week, and 
they go straight in the freezer. They are subsequently transferred (as 
required) join the tail end of a row of four in the fridge, where they 
slowly thaw out, and get moved up the queue when the oldest is empty and 
removed.

Look it up, know-it-all! Or are you looking for yet another topic to keep
babbling and gossiping about? <BG>

More of the senile gossip's absolutely idiotic senile blather:
"I stopped for breakfast at a diner in Virginia when the state didn't do 
DST. I remarked on the time difference and the crusty old waitress said 
'We keep God's time in Virginia.'

I also lived in Ft. Wayne for a while."

As I've never heard of anyone calling a quart of milk a 2-pint bottle. I 
suppose it works when describing a 2 pint warrior; a quart warrior just 
isn't the same.

You dislike saying 2 pints instead of 1 quart, but you'll say 140 pounds instead of 14 stone.  Why not go the whole hog and measure people in ounces?

Unable to remove your thick senile head from the troll's arse, senile

you troll-feeding senile asshole, innit, cretin? <BG>

Minor detail... Are British bathroom scales calibrated in stones. 'Oh, 
shit, I gained a stone after eating that cake last week!' Or is it 0.075 
stone?
