My dear chap,

One knows that the Braddon bottle shops are not for the chattering classes. If one desires to purchase that low brow amber fluid so loved by the lower classes, one should head over to Kingston, Charnwood or perhaps Queanbeyan. Leave the Braddon boutiques free to do what they do best, wank on about hints of chocolate and aromas of cassis.

Are you sure they didn’t deny you service because you’re a Ranga?

What did they sting you for the Laphroaig ?

Ardberg Uigeadail won World Whiskey of the year 2009 and best single malt !

I don’t blame them for not serving you, but it’s a bit rude to then change their mind when they worked out you wanted more than a six pack of VB.

Just to clarify – nothing personal, I just don’t think people should get around wearing next to no clothes. And before anyone gets into me for being hypocritical, I think the only appropriate place for a bikini is beside a pool or at the beach

I bet you won’t be happy about the nude bike ride then.

It says No Shirt No Service as you walk into 1st Choice, quick complaining.

Laphroaig and Ardbeg? A man of some rare taste for a colonial! Add in a bottle of Bowmore and you have the makings of a quiet night in in front of the TV.

@Gobbo – no worries with organised nudity

I just don’t think it’s fair to inflict it on the unprepared

But they served me – maybe you and your other staff should be consistent at least. I wont be spending my money with you anymore anyway.

realityksin – i think we finally have something in common.

Nude Ladies Live
No reason…I just felt like saying it.

Damn straight…imagine being able to see (shock! horror!) SKIN! I’m frightened just thinking about it.

Put a shirt on, you pig. Drinking single malt (ooh, we’re all terribly impressed) doesn’t make you any less of a filthy monga. Either you’re in less than top physical condition, in which case nobody wants to see it, or you’re in great shape, in which case nobody will ever love looking at you as much as you do.

Lagavulan for the win, beats the laphroaig hands down!

I’ve no idea why they are applying dress standards in a bottolo, only reason I can think of is that it’s part of a pub that requires dress standards…. But yeah, funny how they don’t care when you are looking at a nice bottle of scotch….

though i agree with ssr regarding lagavulan, can i come to the coast with you?? : )

and hey, i have become a veteran! – will miss the halcyon days of raising rabble…

@Justbands – no problem with skin, I think it’s more of a hygiene issue. What would you do if the guy crammed on the bus next to you decided to take his shirt off? Or when you’re going down the supermarket aisle and have to squeeze past the sweaty chick in a bikini?

ha ha too bloody funny.

> What would you do if the guy crammed on the bus next to you decided to take his shirt off? Or when you’re going down the supermarket aisle and have to squeeze past the sweaty chick in a bikini?

a) I don’t catch buses….so that one’s easy
b) Actually, that’d be just fine.

Ahahah, you think I work for 1st Choice? Nah, I just read signs as I enter businesses.

a) What, have you no environmental conscience! Gasp! (Jokes)

b) What if she was a smelly chick? What if she had buck teeth? What if she was a post-op trannie? What if she was not your idea of the ideal female specimen?

You get my point

Oh..I may not catch buses, but I do ride my bike.

& yep, I get your point.

…if she was a post-op tranny then what’s the problem?

Are we suggesting that people with buckteeth need paper head bags now?

I am sure a bucktoothed person can go into a bottlo and buy booze.

I’m not suggesting anything. I’m just trying to make the point that if it was someone who justbands considered was not attractive, the reaction may be somewhat different

I’m sorry, but you’re wrong, very wrong, you couldn’t be more wronger.

I’ve never heard of any of them. Is there some secret code I don’t know about?

The code is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_malt_scotch

Anyone who doesn’t bow down before Lagavulan is a fool and a charlatan.

But for something completely different try the Auchentoshan triple distilled lowland malt.

I’ve bowed down after drinking it, does that count.

While its not a bad malt, nothing beats Laphrohaig.
