Dos_Box Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 BBC News - Thousands of litres of whisky flushed down drain in Dumbarton There are just no words
Michael Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Well they were clearly pi$$ed when doing it , that they couldn't tell the difference. Last time I checked there's quite a difference between waste water and whisky...
LosOjos Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Damn... well, expect the price of Scotch to go up soon! Fortunately for me I don't drink the stuff, much prefer a nice Irish
aerospacemango Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I cried a little when I read this....and not tears of joy! To think....all those litres of Chivas going down the drain.... There are no words
elsiegee40 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Somebody has made a VERY expensive mistake... there may be a vacancy up there now!
andrew_91090 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I'm gunna try and keep it together as I'm at work at the moment, but I can tell you now I'm gunna cry myself to sleep tonight
andyturpie Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I'm working my way through a nice bottle of Johnie Walker black label 12 year old at the moment.......
pcstru Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I grew up in Dumbarton. I used to love the smell from the distillery when they were brewing up the mash.
elsiegee40 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I'm working my way through a nice bottle of Johnie Walker black label 12 year old at the moment....... It's a bit early in the day for that!
AJWhite1970 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I'm working my way through a nice bottle of Johnie Walker black label 12 year old at the moment....... *Reaches for the "Work Whistle Blowers" form*
andyturpie Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 err I mean at home lol, I got it for xmas and the better half doesn't really me drinking the stuff, so we have an amnesty on at the moment, where I must finish it as quickly as possible - only to happy to help
aerospacemango Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Since Christmas I've had a couple of different bottles of the fine stuff.... Jura, Chivas, Laphroiag...All taken in moderation, of course! Can you tell I'm a single malt type of guy?? LOL!
andyturpie Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I grew up around the Whisky bonds in Edinburgh and my nursery was in the Royal Mile which backed onto the Youngers brewery, the smell from that era will live with me for the rest of my life.

A primary school that back onto a brewery? who came up with this whole stereotypical 'Scottish are drunks'?
andyturpie Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 A primary school that back onto a brewery? who came up with this whole stereotypical 'Scottish are drunks'? Ha Ha, not wrong there. We are actually laughing here imagining that all the sewer rats in Dumbarton going around looking to fight anyone and anything lol. 2
ICTDirect_Dave Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 BBC News - Thousands of litres of whisky flushed down drain in Dumbarton There are just no words Sat here shedding a few tears right now... if only I had my hip flask...
aerospacemango Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Ha Ha, not wrong there. We are actually laughing here imagining that all the sewer rats in Dumbarton going around looking to fight anyone and anything lol. "Aye...com on ya wee beastie...ya jes a wee cattie...I ken take yous any day o the week" *Apologies to our scottish geekers for a very poor attempt at the written dialect!!
andyturpie Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Also my secondary school was directly across the road from the Drambuie plant in the 80s.. I see a pattern emerging!

That's actually very passable, could even have come out of an Irvine Welsh novel....
andrew_91090 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 If there's any fellow geekers on here from Dumbarton, please please please let us know/take a video if there's any rats staggering from right to left
aerospacemango Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 That's actually very passable, could even have come out of an Irvine Welsh novel.... Read a few of those....something must've rubbed off on me! Back to the topic....NOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! May have to have a little shot tonight in rememberance of good drink wasted!
andrew_91090 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 May have to have a little shot tonight in rememberance of good drink wasted! Aren't all shots the same size?
aerospacemango Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Aren't all shots the same size? Not if you're pouring yourself one..... Thus, being out tonight and playing pool necessitates a small (pub) shot , as opposed to the bigger shot that I would pour for myself!
andrew_91090 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Not if you're pouring yourself one..... Thus, being out tonight and playing pool necessitates a small (pub) shot , as opposed to the bigger shot that I would pour for myself! don't even need a glass if your pouring it yourself
