Thank you for at least considering it.
I hear you Pàdruig and I thank you for the tip. I'm afraid I'm at the mercy of the forum moderators then as it will be they who remove the word if deemed offensive.
I wonder with the inclusion of the fada in your name are you a fellow countryman? Most American Irish wouldn't have it! In Cork myself and I raise my glass of smokey Islay goodness to you
John, I mostly lurk here and mean no harm but do wish to have a reasonable range of expression in how I communicate, within bounds obviously. To me that's in bounds but mods may disagree and direct a course of action.
Pàdruig you most likely speak more of it than I! Unfortunately I've forgotten what little was rammed down our throats as kids. It was taught by rote, poorly in retrospect, without an understanding of why we should speak it. Would love to speak more now.
It was just a polite suggestion, do as you please. Have a great day.
Goddam I love Lagavulin
A Friday night staple is the 10 but the 6 and 8 have their place.
Moreover, really like the look of that Horn knife, well worn but well worth it 
I understand, but in my opinion your language clearly violates the rules of the traditional forum. I agree with

I can still parrot off my Leaving Certificate (high school diploma) Irish Oral spoken portion of the exam. To this day my score is a low tide mark in my academic achievement lol.
I will try John but rain is forecast for what feels like the next decade here!
A previous night's sharpening of a horn Vulcan T Ellin with my fave strong brew. I'm very fond of my Trappiste ale as you can see.Good strong stuff
Regards, Will
I'm sure a mod will be in touch shortly John but I won't be changing that post, sorry. I hope it won't stop us appreciating our common interest if I'm left remain, I've enjoyed reading your posts for a long time.I understand, but in my opinion your language clearly violates the rules of the traditional forum.

I love your reasoning on why you bought Ron's Whisky lol. I chuckled. Do you adopt any of Ron's behavioural traits when drinking it?I almost bought a bottle of the GOT 9 year the other day. I’ve heard it’s not bad, and it costs less than the 16, where the Offerman 11 year was a bit higher in price.
Well, December 11th has brought me another unopened bottle. Unfortunately, I was not as excited about this one as I was last night’s dram. I’ll let this guy tell you about it…
Ron Burgundy “Great Odin’s Raven” Special Reserve Scotchy Scotch Scotch. Why did I buy this? I don’t know. Just because it existed? I’m not sure I ever intended on actually drinking it, but then I was putting together this DIY whisk(e)y advent calendar and figured, “Hey, why not?”
It is drinkable, which is probably the highest compliment I would have expected to give this. It’s a bit too sweet, and not particularly interesting. There is a slight hint of peat (the back of the bottle notes that it’s a blend of Speyside, Highlands and Islay whiskies). The back of the bottle also promises a long finish, which this whisky most certainly does not have. For what it is, it could certainly be worse, but it ain’t great.
Terrible pic. Great Ale.
disagree, atmospheric shot and two very decent knives
Laphroaig is my favourite right now. Guess I have to get some Lagavulin.I can still parrot off my Leaving Certificate (high school diploma) Irish Oral spoken portion of the exam. To this day my score is a low tide mark in my academic achievement lol.
These days my kids are being taught it correctly, via an appreciation of the culture and language. They love using it.
Yes, Jack's posts are a gold mine of info for me too! The picture thread of all the old factories a highlight thread I return to a lot.

I bought my first bottle of Lagavulin 16 the day my son was born and it lasted five years with a good half gone toasting him with friends and family at the Christening.
I must set aside a few quid to save for another, it represents a perfect balance of peat flavour and heat that dethroned my old fave Laphroaig.
With that in mind I can all but guarantee you will love it John. I'm not eloquent enough to describe it but if I were pushed its like a more considered Laphroaig.
