The best part of being back from holiday: a large stock of ice cold Leffe 90 in the fridge.

Cold enough that the commonly understood expression ice-cold, which does not, of course, imply frozen, can be applied to beer stored in it for longer than around half an hour.

The ruby is nice, but I'd only want a very occasional bottle.

Though since you mentioned it...

I'd say ice-cold implies that something is (or feels) as cold as ice, which is frozen by definition.

What it doesn't imply/require is for that thing to be at zero degrees celsius, or to be solid - but simply to feel approximately as cold as an equivalent piece of ice might be.

Half an hour is a long time to wait for a chilled drink. You should consider an upgrade.

It's not long at all. I'd love a fridge that could cool drinks down to "ice cold" in 30 mins.

There you go, you've even got someone to sell your old fridge to. :)

Can you let me know where you're going to get the new one from, so I can send them an invoice for my commission.

I think 'ice cold' implies (of a drink) as cold as it would be either with ice in it or (like champagne) served on ice.

Tsk! Look at you, ending your sentence with a preposition. You're getting old & buggy. Matt? I think it might be time for a clean reinstall of BP.

It is a good film.

My perfectly ordinary cabinet-style Servis fridge freezer will produce an acceptably chilled drink (my judgement) in about 1 hour, using the refrigeration section. It may not generate quite the same attractive condensation on the glass as was seen in the film, but this, I suspect, is down to ambient tempertaure and humidity.

Fridge, frige, refrigerator, refridgerator - who gives a stuff?

Brilliant film, but did they really change the name to desert attack (presumably for the yanks)?

I'm afraid so, and they lopped 48 minutes off it to boot! (fail)
