That's because you haven't watched Lost in Translation!

Here's a few more quotes, from Skyrad, all recent: "So the peoples democratic decision is overturned by a state official. So much for the land of the free home of democracy." "How long ago was the constitution written? That makes as much sense as people living their lives by rules written 1500 years ago." "Freedom of speech is a myth, do you still belive in the tooth fairy as well? ...Freedom of speach is a joke." "the US occupation not only destabilises the niddle east but is in danger of destroying te UN and returning us to te bad old days of power alliances and arms races." "yea, a woman and a small child died in the house as well, women and small children seem to be being killed alot in Iraq by US forces at the moment." "Would America have been so quick to drop two 500lb bombs on a house if they had intelligence that he had been found in a house in New Jersey? Of course not. Why then is it ok to do it in a neighbourhood in Iraq? Why? Because they're not white Americans." "Americas millitary (and Americas self projected moral position as the keepers of freedom and democracy) has been discredited in the eyes of the world and the myth of its strenght has been exposed as such. All in all we'd all be alot better off if it had never happened" "Stabbing teenage girls, how very HooAH!" "Surely America has had its day.

I prefer the lighter malts, having made the often torturous journey from the blended stuff (aged for 10 years in a stainless steel tank wiff a used tea bag) via Bushmills Malt (which is about as far west as you can legitimately go!). Now we have to brace for the Scotland Vs Ireland whisky/whiskey battle! I nominate Me & NacMac as referees and testers on the basis of experience. It's probably easier for Y'All to send money which we'll use to buy test samples of the appropriate whiskey rather than us receiving a load of your highly suspicious bottles! Mike. Both IOrish and Scot whiskeys are great but I preferred the One I got from a friends which wasn't some well known name but rather a small distillery. I wish I could remember the name it was great! I like Knob Creek Bourbon here in the US. try it you wont be sorry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
