Your wife seems to be a pearl. What's the problem? she ugly, fat, red haired? or are you just so pretty and/or wealthy? :D Just kidding, my friend. :)

None of the above, in fact. Just always said that she would never want to get in the way of things I enjoyed - and is living up to that :D

This is shaping up to be an awesome event. It's great to see a good whisky festival heading for Glasgow . So many distillers are based there and whilst Islay or Speyside or the Highlands might be the home of distilling, Glasgow could argue to be the home of the finished product [awaits abuse...]

Nick, us Edinburgers could get you deported down-under for that comment :lol:

Just a shame I can't be at this, it's lining up to be a great event - I'll be mid-Atlantic on the QM2 with the Mrs for her significant birthday later this year.

Nah, April 22nd early enough for me to still catch a 17:00-ish flight home from Edinburgh will do just fine.
