    What heresy is this? Last Train to Clarksville is one of The Monkees' finest tunes.

    The Monkees weren't technically a band, now were they? Did you see that VH1 documentary on them?

    (and how the f**k did I manage to spell Clarksville with a 'K'?)

    Actually Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith were both excellent musicians, and as time went by Mickey Dolenz became a passable enough drummer. I don't think Davy Jones' tambourine playing got much better though.

    Didn't see the documentary, must look out for it.

    It was basically Micky Dolenz saying they weren't a band and for Davy Jones to drop it.

    Well they were as manufactured as Girls Aloud, so I know what he means.

    I have a Best of album of theirs that came with a bonus CD of lesser known stuff, including the Monkees theme in Italian. It kind of loses something in translation.

    Oh wait, I've used that one already.

    Anyway, interesting results from that last survey, so I am taking it a step further and focussing on whiskey.

    I have Zaph to thank for getting me into bourbon, but he will never forgive me for taking a liking to Jim Beam. Cheap and cheerful, that's me.

    So, if you were to pour yourself a small one at the end of the day, what would it be?

    Right there with you, brother.

    I got four 750ml bottles in duty free for 40 Euro. Bliss. They even came in their own carry case, with a handle.

    It sounds like sacrilige but if you like Beam try the Lidl Bourbon its called western gold and is surprisingly good.

    If were not talking real fancy stuff then I would go with Canadian Club, delicious with nothing more than two ice cubes.

    And the best Ive had of any would have to be ''number 9 whiskey'' blended locally in Henrey Downes Pub, in Waterford.

    I wouldn't put a mixer on the same table as this Uisce Beatha.

    In other news, anyone try that Canadian Club muck? Had to resort to trying it recently, for many reasons, and it was utterly rancid. My tastes bud are prone to take hammering from manys a different taste, but this really did leave a bad taste in my mouth.

    Terrible stuff.

    :D
