Scotch Whisky is one of the finest beverages ever to pass the lips of man. Irish Whiskey, on the other hand (or glass), is very nice but it is quite a different drink, and certainly does not have anywhere near the market share suggested by that website.

We had to deal with these people when we bought Bletchley Park.
(In order to get the planning permission for the 300 houses we are building there.)
Part of the cost was a major contribution to the trust and to refurb some of the buildings.
They are a bunch of Sunshines, so far up their own rectum they can see the back of their teeth.
"Can't park here", "You're drivers are making too much dust", "Can you not use that machinery near the building" etc.
One of them hit something on the road and tried to claim from us.
He got told to FRO as it was not on 'Our' road but was on their private road.
They have an overdeveloped sense of self worth.
I once had a run-in with one of them and said that at the end of the day he was nothing more than an usherette and tour guide.
After his bluster I told to him go forth and multiply and indicated his propensity for auto-erotic stimulation.

OK, so who's bored enough to use this information to figure out the name of DD's employer?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A couple of months ago, I was actually thinking of going there to have a look around. Thanks to you fine folks and your advice, you saved me a potentially rotten day out. I'll skip it until those Biebers learn to behave like decent people.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

I went round there in 2009 - long before this current stupidity took root. Tony Sale[^] himself demonstrated Colossus to us and held a lecture on codebreaking during WWII.
It's not something I'll ever forget.

How exactly does one fire a volunteer? Or is that some odd UK cultural thing?

Update seems to be that he hasn't been fired - just moved to a more constrained role... (per the register article)

I get the feeling that they know have something there, just no one is too sure what. Wen I went there pre-colossus start up there was all sorts of things the Churchill museum, A News Reel/1940's Cinema, the Computing Museum (the most commonly heard phrase was 'I wanted one of those',saw my first Sinclair QL there!), A Toy museum & several other things no one big enough to warrant it's own museum but worthy non the less.

I think she (the wife) had better buy some lottery tickets for the various draws.
Last July the wife broke her phone (a Galaxy S2) just before we went on holiday, I ordered her a Galaxy S4 replacement and it arrived the day before we left on holiday, so she was a tad chuffed about that.
Roll on a few months to yesterday. She lost the phone. She had taken the kids to school and had used the phone to pay by phone for the parking. He she got home after the school run, and countless retracing her steps etc. etc. but to no avail. She contact the school in case it was found there, the contact the Police to report the loss, and she contact the phone company to block the phone.
Well surprise surprise, the Police phoned the house 3 times while I was out this morning, but left no message. I phoned the wife to say they had phoned and suggest she phone them back.
Yes, they have her phone and she can collect it from them.
To say I'm shocked and stunned is an understatement. Needless to say she is chuffed to bits, especially when I said I wasn't buying her another one...

My wife dropped her iPhone 5 down the toilet last month, then used my upgrade which was due to get herself an iPhone 5s.
She flogged the one she'd dropped down the bog for £250 which softened the blow some what.

She demonstrated her evilness by selling the poo-phone to some sucker for £250 by not specifying what happened to it.

That would nae happen in London. The Met would have sold it on and pocket the shekels.
