Jameson's was founded by a Scottish master distiller so you could call it a Scotch if you want to upset whisk(e)y nerds.

e: 224 apparently means 2day 2marrow 4ever. This is bad for Jeremy Corbyn.

Stop by the Glen Grant distillery in Rothes on the way to Dufftown, look at the garden, leave a positive review about it on Trip Advisor coz it's my dad who maintains it.

No but if you're going to a Scottish whisky festival you should do that, rather than tell them about Green Spot.

To be fair Scotland was like 2:1 remain, more in the bits that are not next to the border, so it's not entirely untrue.

I wonder if Boris deliberately timed the request to make sure it was on Fox and Friends, a far more reliable way of making sure Trump knows about it than actually calling him.

So this all piqued my curiosity. Central Belt confirmed as the best. Apart from Falkirk, for some reason. Not sure what's going on there as it's not exactly farming/fishing heavy like the North and South West.
Also, the Midlands is really, really crap.

On future investigation, evidence will show that she was at that time forced to do it. So, yeah.

It's a weird construction, English is weird.

I guess that's possibly a bit of a strange thought on the face of it but yeah, "in the future we will look back and come to this conclusion"

Rather than "she will be" which means the same thing, basically.

Grand-Maman m'a raconté
(Les éditions des amitiés franco-québécoises)

Hello, dear
I am shocked and appalled at people joking about killing our Royals. I have always suggested instead forcing them to live on a council estate in Doncaster instead where their lives are filmed 24 hours a day.

Tonight on Keeping Up With The Royals, an emotional reunion as Harry joins Andrew in prison following his sentence for stealing a washing line after his last benefit sanction, and Phil causes the fire brigade to be called out to his bungalow again after an unsuccessful attempt to prepare a Fray Bentos pie and Happy Shopper tinned potatoes for Liz's birthday.
