                                  Surely they had whisky in them. Otherwise they would be Irish! :-D Oh and mustard is the best. The brighter the yellow the better! :thumbsup:

                                        my English sucks most days, and it is my first and only language. I only know a few dirty words in Spanish.(Mexican Spanish, not Spain or other countries)
