Rickie Or Rory?

[innercityteacher]

I will gladly yield to my learned friend.

I'd like to thank the Academy...

How about a "working" category and a " retired" category? Maybe a "teaching" category, an "experimental" category, and a "chatting" category?

In any case, I'm honored to be in such considered company.

Since Ricky got it, it must mean that Rory is still regarded as a European player. I can live with that.

PS: When Norway was liberated from Sweden there was a little battle in Halden - a city close to the border. The swedish king was against an independant Norway. He died on the battle field. The historians are unable to establish whether the bullet was Swedish or Norwegian.

Thanks BerntR , I suspect the Norwegians .... you know what they're like. Darn foreigners. Or maybe the Dutch? Hmmm..

Hmm. You are messing up my history lessons from earlier today. This has nothing to do with the independence of 1905. This is from 1718 - one of the many wars between Sweden and Denmark/Norway. Long before Norway went from a union with Denmark to a union with Sweden in 1814, which ended in 1905 without any shooting what so ever.

Let's start a ruckus, shall we?

I take my Single Malt with a glass of ice. I enjoy tasting the various flavor combinations that are formed with the melting ice. You?

BTW, it's Rory, for all the right reasons of winning, finishing more consistently, and playing on a wider stage.

That quote was a little something I once saw on the net. Thought a few folks might have enjoyed the read here.

My sipping preference though is for Whisky (not Whiskey - although I have been privileged to sip some reasonable Hibernian offerings).

I take mine neat for the same reasons that you only add ice to yours - I like the taste and flavours.

Lynn's reference to Islay and their wonderful Lagavulin prompted my intervention into this thread as I have just finished a bottle of that beautiful distillation. Highly recommended, smooth, rich and full of soft peaty after taste.

I will report later on the Blair Athol, single malt from the foothills of the Grampian Mountains, Perthshire, that I started on yesterday.

Rory for me also.
