They only had Bass in NI as Beer in those days, anyway we'd done a few bars and it was his round, I said a pint of Bass please, he say's have something else....a short, so I say's Malibu and Coke barman pls...., at which point we was thrown out on the street and "shown" a 12 bore...

My prison officer mate said the same thing had happened to him the week before when his mate had asked for a Whiskey and orange, they were told in no uncertain terms, the only thing you put in Whiskey is......water......end of/

Water ( or anything for that matter) in whisky is for wusses

Neat, supp it neat and taste it! ( says he who no longer drinks alcohol )

According to the good people at the malt whisky society a drop of water, a teaspoon per measure I believe, is considered the proper way to drink malt as it realeases the oils and therefore the delicate flavours and aromas.
Who are we to argue with the great and the good.

^^^this...

and I must admit, I only tend to add the barest splash unless it's a "cask strength" Malt, in which case I'll add a little more...

(and if anyone suggests adding Ice, i'd recommend a good firm slap...)

depending on the location I'll add a small ice cube and let it melt, hot pubs with hot spirits are not the most pleasant places for whisky but sometimes needs must and the ice cube delivers a good amount of water and lowers the temperature of the spirit from volcanic.

It's all clearly laid down in the Good Friday Agreement.

We invented the stuff we can drink it how we like. I could add coke to stuff if I wanted; Now the rest of you, take it as prescribed

According to DNA experts in the newspapers, the DNA in W Yorkshire is unique.......anybody got a drinking problem from W Yorks

 

[TheBigYin]

the DNA in my village is certainly pretty unique... over 2/3 of the village is related to each other...

And before you say it, no, both my parents lived elsewhere, met, and moved there, so i'm definitely in the 1/3 that have 2 eyes, dont have a hair-lip and can't play the Banjo to save my life.

It's all for the common good.* Yarp!
