NO Sir (did i spell that correctly) i'm Patriotic and Proud to Be ENGLISH

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

capitalist with a small "c" an English (language) joke, not a political slur.

I never agreed with the Welsh Parliament, adding another level of expensive bureaucracy. I am Welsh and British.
For me, the most important political issue is whether we stay in the EU because that has a profound effect on everything else.

No he is technically a Democrat

 

[RCoon]

Ugh, applied online to vote at a polling station, local council ballsed everyone's application up so now I'm a "postal vote only" person. Still don't know who to vote for. The main party leaders are dreadfully out of touch, and I strongly dislike almost all their policies. I'd also rather not see 4 years of (good) work on the economy go down the pot if some irresponsible party gets in power via a coalition. All the decisions.

Portland in Dorset is filled with weird People

How to clear a pub of people (locals) in Portland go in and yell Rabbet

There are even weird scots living there

from wilki
On the Isle of Portland in Dorset, UK, the rabbit is said to be unlucky and speaking its name can cause upset with older residents. This is thought to date back to early times in the quarrying industry, where piles of extracted stone (not fit for sale) were built into tall rough walls (to save space) directly behind the working quarry face; the rabbit's natural tendency to burrow would weaken these "walls" and cause collapse, often resulting in injuries or even death. The name rabbit is often substituted with words such as “long ears” or “underground mutton”, so as not to have to say the actual word and bring bad luck to oneself. It is said that a public house (on the island) can be cleared of people by calling out the word rabbit and while this was very true in the past, it has gradually become more fable than fact over the past 50 years

Another wilki quote
Even today older Portland residents are 'offended' (sometimes for the benefit of tourists) by the mention of rabbits;[75] this superstition came to national attention in October 2005 when a special batch of advertisement posters were made for the Wallace and Gromit film, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. In respect for local beliefs the adverts omitted the word 'rabbit' and replaced the film's title with the phrase "Something bunny is going on

Holy crap, is that the Abund'ah variety? Looks like the same bottle, different marking though. Still, can't be all that bad! Haven't yet made it through my Delwhinnie

Sadly not. Its the standard 12 year

The Abund'ah goes for about £44 then £125 depending on the batch i think. Ive never seen the regular abund'ah go in a lightning deal.

I think this 12 is probably close to the abund'ah without having to pay the extra premium but I'll definitely let you know once ive had a fair sample of it.

Yeah, only reason I bought it was because Waitrose (of all overpriced supermarkets) had it on offer for ~£37, figured it was worth a try.

Partners dad popped round with a whiskey, it literally tasted like leftover BBQ ashes, it was that smoky.

you wont like a laphroaig then im guessing It can be quite smokey but its also got a little sweetness for a dram.

the laphroaig is one of my favorites but you honestly have to be in the mood for it - I bought mine well before christmas last year (i think before june/july) and I either havent touched it or had only a small sip of it. If you got some extra cash floating about then i recommend that one if you wish to give it a go. When i was first introduced to it, I was given the choice of a Talisker or the laphroaig and the laphroaig was an instant hit. The Talisker took me a little getting used to but Its something thats slowly grown on me.

I definitely gotta check out waitrose and other supermarkets to check on the prices.

::EDIT::

as for me, Ive been revisiting my bottle of Jura (origins) not bad

 

[MilkyWay]

I'm sitting up drinking irn bru and watching the UK general election unfold. Not enjoying it at all. How the fuck SNP managed to get so much support is beyond me, in Westminster they where always a total fringe party.
Nigel Farage might not win the seat he's running for. Would be great to see him keep his promise to quit as UKIP leader if he doesn't win.

EDIT: As for whisky, try anything from Bruichladdich or Port Charlotte (same distilleries/same owner), Bruichladdich is basically the unpeated and Port Charlotte the peated varieties. Scapa and
Bunnahabhain are great. For cheaper stuff i like Jura, Highland Park and Old Pulteney.

Monkey Shoulder is good its a blend but its made up of only a few malts, no grain whisky. Big Peat is another good blend made up of only a few top peat whiskies. They used to call those malt blends or vatted malts to differentiate them from a regular blend.

Bruichladdich actually make a topper of a gin called The Botanist.

I don't actually drink much so i hardly get through a bottle of anything. I only ever have a couple at a time too. I have aspergers and hate the drunk feeling but love the taste of whisky and that lol.

EDIT:

Mind blowing, SNP had 6 seats in Westminster in 2010 and are currently at this time in the count 49! To put that into perspective there's 59 seats in Scotland. Lib Dems went from being the 3rd party to having a handful of seats, totally demolished.

 

[RCoon]

Monkey Shoulder

I do enjoy a bit of that, haven't drank it in some months though.

Lib Dems went from being the 3rd party to having a handful of seats, totally demolished.

More accurately, the Green Party got more votes than the Lib Dems here. In fact my vote is so irrelevant here, Conservatives won the majority in Newark by about 10,000 votes.

The thing that tortures me the most is the fact that people are posting all this crap on Facebook, and then going out of their way to attack somebody that hasn't voted for the party they voted for. To me that's just plain crappy human-kind. I see students who aren't old enough to vote posting stuff on Facebook like "Don't make a mistake, vote Labour", and then I thank god that they aren't allowed to vote with their incredibly shallow understanding of politics. Half the people that vote don't even vote for policies, they vote for the faces and what they assume the party stands for.

 

[the54thvoid]

Hmm. Labour got demolished up here by their implicit inference during the referendum that Scotland couldn't go it alone. My wife voted 'No' to independence but still voted SNP.
When the main parties suggested effectively that Scotland was useless outside the union, it caused resentment, even among unionists.
But its the loss of Lib Dems everywhere that has allowed a future Boris Johnston prime minister....

 

[RCoon]

allowed a future Boris Johnston prime minister....

If that man becomes Prime Minister in 4 years time, I'm leaving the country.

He is a very dangerous man, dressed as a bumbling fool.

 

[vega22]

it is the way they have used the media to brainwash the feeble minded into voting. instilled a notion of fear and distrust in the other parties to gain the popular vote.

that fear is spilling over into peoples personal feelings :S
