Chateau Lagrange is about the only way I've ever drank €50 in an hour. Now to the Teeling's. If I drink €50 of that in an hour I'm in trouble.

Just thinking out loud but any options of citizenship for the kids due to their time living here , or perhaps you scoop your passport and then the kids can piggyback from their mum the Irish citizen?
As far as I have heard there should be no problems as half of Malta is British and it is one Country that will get an agreement in with Britain anyway.
I really think there should be either another vote or get it stopped as the percentages were too close and 2 Countries voted to remain, seems a bit harsh and would rather see that than another referendum in Scotland for independence!
I don't think it will go ahead but who knows.

I've a growing collection of Irish whiskey in the gaff (hardly touched since the babóg arrived) but never felt the need to add teelings to the mix.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Originally posted by zuutroy View PostWhat's the controversy?
SPOILERSince I'm writing about Teeling, it might be worth bringing up a slightly touchy subject and my own opinion on it. It was brought to my attention on Facebook a few weeks ago that there's some controversy with the barrels that Teeling use. They are ex-rum barrels from Nicaragua, specifically from the producers of Flor de Caña rum, or so I was told. Apparently, the company that owns that brand owns the sugar cane fields used to produce that rum and a number of other sugar based products.
It would seem that at least 20,000 people have died of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Central America in the past two decades. A number of those would have worked in fields used to produce the sugar used in said rum. The disease is said to be caused by overwork, lack of shade, lack of water etc although no scientific study has proven that. If you want to know more, here's an article in The Guardian.
The Facebook post was pretty heated with people calling for Teeling Whiskey to be boycotted until they stop using those barrels. Someone said the barrels needed to be ditched. I stepped in with what I hope was some voice of reason.
If I can take a step back and look at this dispassionately.
All Teelings did was buy old barrels from a rum producer or perhaps a 3rd party. Would that be accurate? Or are they in some sort of ongoing deal with Flor de caña?
Can they really be blamed in any way? They are essentially recycling the barrels. Should they be expected to destroy them and buy different ones because of harsh working conditions among sugar farmers?
Can Teelings really be blamed? Even indirectly?
I'm not familiar enough with Teelings or how they produce their whiskey to be outraged by this yet.
This got some interesting comments, one of which was that no one suggested destroying the barrels. That's true, no one did but by default it amounts to the same thing. I replied:
it's just someone else suggested they need to ditch the barrels and to suggest that means they would need to ethically destroy them. To pass them on or sell them would be hypocritical if they are ditching them on ethical reasons.
I won't mention where any of these comments came from but my point was that Teeling shouldn't be held responsible for the treatment of workers in sugar cane fields just because some second hand barrels they use can be linked indirectly to their plight.
It's all very well for us to sit behind our expensive computer screens in one of the richest countries in the world and be up in arms over the plight of the those in less well off countries. The problem is, if you look hard enough, you will find many everyday products have some sort of link to some sort of injustice. The computer, phone or tablet you are reading this article on was likely manufactured or has many components manufactured in a country with questionable labour conditions. You might as well boycott everything mass-produced and just produce everything yourself while living off the grid. You would probably have to build your own tools while you're at it, just to be safe and of course spin your own fibres to produce clothes after you have built your own loom because the manufactured ones probably contain materials of questionable origin.
This has turned into a bit of a rant on the proliferation of PC craziness that has been sweeping across richer countries in recent years.
I'm a realist myself so will not be put off by this and I certainly won't be boycotting Galway Bay because their 200 Fathoms was also aged rum barrels. Can we apply a little common sense to this PC crap please?
Rant over.

Goals in 2 champions league finals (3 if you count the winning penalty this year)
11 goals in World Cup & European Championships
first player to score in 4 European Championships
2nd overall in all time European Championship scorers
1st or 2nd in World Player of the year every year between 2008 - 2016
Yeah, definitely not a big game player

Originally posted by Solskjaer View PostBale was shit today against Northern Ireland. Ronaldo just one goal off leading scorer in the tourney Plus a great assist for nani. Hard for anyone to perform in games like this. Football has gone negative and he's a positive player. He may be a cry baby but still his class is evident to the 'honest' haters. Rakitic and Modric under par today also.

Zidane did it, Maradona did it, Messi did it.
CR7 is more concerned with how he looks in his underpants.
Note he just missed that sitter too."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Best player in the world is a different debate. Your point is he is doing nothing in big games. Not correct.
