Austria was Hungary, took a bit of Turkey, dipped it in Greece, cooked it in Japan and ate it off China.
That just came hurtling into my memory from somewhere long, long ago.

Here's a little memory aid[^] for you...

I realize that beer is not a liquor. But I would say in the states it is the most consumed.

Amazing, I didn't think there was that much Irish Whiskey in the world!
I would have thought Scotch Whisky would have been more popular though.

Well, I can tell you for a fact that what Denmark is concerned, it's WRONG!
I myself, and 99% of those of my fellow countrymen that I know prefer this Godly nectar:
Ga-Jol Shots[^]
Based on Vodka!

Written by an idiot, obviously, who doesn't know the difference between whisky and whiskey.

Just out of curiosity, since I don't care about either (see above post):
Is there really a difference or is it merely linguistical bickering?

with an "e" it's Irish, without it's Scottish. The inference from the map is Irish Whiskey is nicer than Scottish Whisky.
Personally, I generally prefer the latter.

Try asking for Scotch Whisky in Glasgow. Then accuse everyone of being a bunch of great wallopers.

Back in the day most Glasgow drinkers would just ask for "a beer an' a half".

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.
