Both my offspring love those, I think they're disgusting.

I admire your honesty in labelling your offspring as disgusting. Stiff upper lip old chap, maybe you could sire more offspring on a filly with better form what.



I say, steady on old chap.

Its the Irish spelling. America cant claim ownership of the spelling of a word for something they cannot produce. No such thing as American Whisky or Whiskey.

They produce rye, though in limited quantities. And what do you say Old no. 7 is?

Just because it is terrible, not a single malt and tough to drink if you run out of mix. I believe it is still a form of whisky.

Yeah, i don't really ascribe to the region bullshit. I can make whiskey in my shed if i want to, a recipe is a chemical reaction wherever it occurs. To pretend otherwise is merely ego and commercial protection.

Lol wait I got another one

Steal yThe English language.

Sorry the language you speak is English and you are trying to correct the spellings used, stating it is American. Scotland has its own language but have adopted English, Wales and Ireland are the same. Who cares what way I spelt the word whether it is the abbreviated American version of the English they speak or the Irish Scottish version, at the end of it,it's all 1
