Get rid of the drystock and replace with sucklers. That way, you'll be up at night calving them and will have no bother sleeping when they've all calved!!

The first country to do so...
Costa Rico is going to ban the use of fossil fuels. Not sure how it's going to work though since they are on the pan American highway. Perhaps they are just banning the sale of.

Was in the local at dinner time the other day. They have a whiskey for €37/ shot. Can't remember the name. Barmaid was saying a man had 3 shots one night. Would be an expensive night

Washing the bottles with whiskey is fairly standard in all the whiskey companies. Prevents any tainting

I was at an event to celebrate the Gathering in 2013 where the farming organisations and agri industry reps were invited from around Europe.
All the food and drink was Local Irish and sponsored. there was a bottle of that Middleton on every table and only two of us on our table drinking whiskey

I've a bottle of it here and a bottle of 15 year old Glenfiddich. They're the only Scottish whiskey I have here. I've at least ten Irish whiskeys. Some expensive ones and some standard ones. Twice over Xmas I got herself to set up a blind taste test on 5 of them. Only she knew which was which.
On both occasions I chose the same as my favourite.
I can only conclude that I'm a man of simple tastes. Standard Bushmills it was for me.

Midelton Rare, I suspect. If it's got 2 d's in the name, she's married to the Prince of Wales.
