Special to Rubrick: my hubby bought a bottle of Powers Irish whiskey. Is it any good?

Health to the men, and may the women live forever! ...

Well, it's not...quite...as nasty as some whiskies I've tried. Hubby says it's very mild. I wouldn't know. It's definitely less nasty than bourbon, though that's not saying a whole lot.

Unfair, everyone!!! You go posting Irish translations and special requests to me on the one day when the whole of Ireland closes down and I have the good sense to be nowhere near my puter!! Yesterday was a bank holiday (to let us get over our hangovers) so I'm only back today.

Max, as confirmed above that is the correct translation for the phrase!!

Shame on you, Jackie! That's one of the finest triple-blended whiskeys about!! If you don't want it you can give it to me!! and Helen can help out, of course!

After Jameson, Powers is my favourite and then Black Bush, Bushmills and then Paddy. But Clontarf is grabbing my attention, and how!

Shame on you, Jackie!
Thought that would get a rise out of you! <eg>
I still cannot believe that a whole country closes up just because the banks do.
