I recall HIGH SECURITY situation around the Famous Grouse vats and warehouses (and others up there.) It struck me funny. Here we have stuff labeled Exxon-Mobil, Phillips, Chevron, BP, and what-not and up there you'd see whisky labels on yuuge storage tanks. More than security at airports and the free-trade-zone bonded warehouses in Shannon, Rotterdam, etc and the time! (pre-911 though) Ha. I like priorities.

Every major distillery has a full time customs officer. I used to work with a guy who had worked in a glass works, where they made bottles for Grants..and he was invited on a trip to see the process up in Scotland. He said the security was very tight because of the duty that is paid on alcohol in the UK. Something like 75% of Scottish whisky is tax, so the revenue would rather it all be sold legally. LOL.

I've been to the Talisker one on Skye, but didn't see anyone who looked official, maybe they just 'blend' in?  ;)

Sad he lost his 19yo son. Didn't know he had a son that old, he seems younger. As for the accusations who cares. Sexual harassment accusations happen now if a dude makes eye contact with a female. And of course when they're done by a president with his subordinate intern that's private and no ones business.

This is the beauty of independent internet media taking over. Most have no advertisers therefore they aren't beholden to advertisers when advertisers are blackmailed by the Gloria Allred lynch mob. The only issue independents have to deal with is the left who runs big tech and their sensorship of free speech. But that's being exposed as well.

For example:

The woman who made these accusations certainly took advantage of Fox News Corps as a platform for her views for YEARS before she made these allegations. She's also pushing for statute of limitations to be removed from rape and sexual abuse cases...but that's not a conflict of interest though.  ::)

These harpies basically want the doors left open forever ad infinitum on the possibility of charging a man they don't like with rape...just in case they go spouting off conservative views that they don't agree with.  ;)

Note, as often, when they do bad they are now that elusive "White Hispanic" but, on the other hand, he was "mistreated" while being taken into custody the press reports would revert back to "brown" status.

All kinds of questionable decision-making, child-rearing methods, and choices in this bizarre incident:
http://kxan.com/2017/09/17/man-wears-clown-mask-to-scare-daughter-gunshot-is-fired/
I look for Norry to pick this one up even though the child was not killed there was some, previous, injury and she likely will become "mean" and share Norry's fear of clowns.

The Spanish government is handling the Catalonia stuff poorly. Their escalation is likely making some folks change their minds and vote, or agitate, to leave.

This morbidly obese woman carrying a pack of cigarettes you're looking at IS Heather. The picture the media used was, of course, taken years prior when Heather was much younger, slimmer and healthier. Way to spin that narrative, mainstream media news.  ;)

Tucker lands an intellectual punch to the face of TV's Meathead. He really should've learned from Archie to stifle it.  ::)

Seems like a bunch of punches thrown, with many of blocked, coupled with effective counter punching on both sides.

You must've watched something else. Either that or you're just so zombified with partisan Koolaid that you can't even see when one of your own have been bested.  ::)

Sounds like it's getting worse too. Makes one wonder what will happen if the referendum outcome is to leave.

Quote
The Spanish authorities have moved to place all policing in Catalonia under central control to stop the disputed independence referendum on 1 October. The Spanish authorities have sought to stop the independence vote by seizing voting materials, imposing fines on top officials and arresting temporarily dozens of politicians.
The public prosecutor's office justified the the appointment of Col Pérez de los Cobos on the basis of a law governing joint operations in an autonomous region.

Between 3,000 and 4,000 police officers from outside Catalonia have already arrived or are on their way, joining 5,000 already based in the region, Reuters news agency reports, quoting local media
Three chartered cruise ships are moored in Barcelona and Tarragona with capacity, AFP news agency reports, to house up to 6,000 police officers
Police water cannons are being sent to Catalonia, El Confidencial news site reports, tweeting a clip of one vehicle travelling towards Barcelona

[...]

At an event held by his conservative Popular Party in Mallorca, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy repeated that the vote would not take place.
"It would be sensible, reasonable and democratic to stop and say, there won't be a referendum, which they know won't happen," he was quoted by AFP news agency as saying.

Yes, trying to hold a vote is very undemocratic.  ::)

Chelsea Manning says she was denied entry into Canada

My guess is Trudeau knew nothing about this situation until asked about it.  Imagine, a head of government who knows when to say nothing.

We're scheduled to be in Barcelona in late October.  I'm checking to see if my trip insurance covers revolutions/civil wars.

what he is talking about isn't what he is saying.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Bob Corker is going to retire after his current term is up.  lol.  He knows the people of Tennessee would never re-elect him.

It seems the CEO who is 'retiring' from Equifax will receive millions in severance. This is the company that has compromised the confidential data of nearly half the US population, knew about it for months before announcing it, and then tells the people who have been compromised they won't have any redress. The same company that uses your information (by selling it) and then bills you for finding out your credit score.

I don't know about you, but gross misconduct usually results in going through the door, do not pass go, do not collect 200 quid.  >:(

Not in the corporate world, and especially not the financial industry.

Not sure what pisses me off more. The fact that Price ran up a $400k bill or the fact that a guy that has been a politician for the last 20 years can afford to just right a check to cover it.

He acquired his fortune through frugal habits and wise investment of course.  Nothing to see here.
