Very nice!
Really great style, reminds me a lot of the little comics like the Beano I used to read as a kid. The tree's got a great 70s book illustration feel to it too.

isn't that grounds for dismissal in a job where you need to be
worldly and knowledgable?
isn't it fairer to say 'listen, pet, you're not owwa good at this. You might want to think about trying harder or getting another job'? That way - she doesn't labour on for ages thinking she's good at a job she's not good at.

it was from an article titled thus:

suggested new phrase:
[large corporation] loses nearly 5000 customers in first quarter
which I would say is a fairly major error of comprehension

Glenmorangie is generic rubbish though.
I would recommend:
- Laphroaig
- Ardbeg
- Aberfeldy (mostly because my mate's dad used to make it)
- Aberlour ... all the aberlour are good, but if you want a special treat (births deaths and marriages) have a wee nip of a'bunadh (this is the BEST whisky I've ever had)

if you ever get a chance you should not pass up the opportunity to try
a'bunadh... it's not chill filtered, so it goes cloudy thwn you add ice or water, it tastes like how I always imagined whisky should taste when my Grandad used to tell me about it when I was a kid.

Americans (and, admittedly, a lot of other people too) do - I do not.
but you need to add something to A'bundh because it's cask strength ... about 60% proof.

Oh I like a bit of it, it's nice.
Fiddich is also good. I don't know, I don't drink often so I've never really got into it in a big way. I know I don't like blended whiskies as they taste like soap (or at least, the ones I've had).
I have noted these names. I'm going to buy a couple of decent bottles soon for safekeeping out of my reach. Save them for when little Captains start arriving.
Also: I've decided the next person I drink it with shall be a bonafide Scotperson, so I can do it properly. And blame him if I drink the wrong one.
