All after I'd told him I already had my quota and couldn't buy anything.

I work at Heathrow, they sell a bottle of whisky every 30 seconds.

Wow, that's a lot of whisky. What do you do there?

Im an electrician there. The amount of money around Heathrow is mind boggling, one hand bag store made £100000 in its opening day, when business men are dropping 10-20k plus on a few handbags its easy to see why.
We are aloud to buy anything from the tax free shops except alcohol and tobacco

That's crazy money! Gutted you can't get anything from the tax free whisky. Laphroaig px cask is a travel exclusive I believe.

You must be near enough to London to find some decent shops. A friend of mine goes to the whisky exchange when he's in the area. Never been myself.

Wife is away so it's just me this weekend. No plans, just laying around being left alone. Last night I had the pleasure of enjoying some Salsa from my favorite Mexican restaurant. I don't usually like Salsa, but this place makes it really good. Last time I asked if they sold it to go. Unfortunately they don't, but the manager was kind enough to provide a small container of it to go.
I'm not a big Mexican food person but if your in Philadelphia check out El Azteca Uno on Chestnut street. A little Knob creek to go along and all was well with the world. Sorry for the sideways photo, some day I'll figure out how to fix it.

Did the Knob Creek contribute to the sideways photo?

That stuff is so damn delicious it it is easy to get sideways on!

Trying this for the first time..hmm, that's different, like it, very mild and pleasant with a warming heat. Very different from my norm of Kentucky straight Bourbons
