dogbert Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Today is St.Andrew's Day in honour of the patron Saint of Scotland. That means you need to have a wee dram. My tipple this evening will be a wee glass of Laiphroig. And to go with the theme, here's the Story of Scotland: At the beginning when God was creating the world, he was sitting on a cloud, telling his pal the Arch Angel Gabriel what he planned for Scotland. "Gabby", says he "I'm going to give this place high majestic mountains, purple glens, soaring eagles, streams laden with salmon, golden fields of barley from which a whisky-coloured nectar can be made, green, lush, spectacular golf courses, coal in the ground, oil under the sea....gas". "Hold up! Hold up!" interjected the bold Gabriel, "Are you not being too generous to these Scots ?" Back came the Almighty's reply. "Not really, wait until you see the neighbours I'm giving them !!!"

Robot Monkey Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Ah, it's been many years since the MacVidyarthi clan made it's way to these shores, but I never fail to observe the old ways. I'm post-poning my "wee" dram to tomorrow evening, however. It'll be an Islay as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I'll take part as I just brought back a bottle of Laphroaig from California. They sell the stuff at Trader Joe's for only $29.99 a bottle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
