Changeover Day

Not Whisky.... It’s WHISKEY

Oh dear God, as the proprietor of a bar, do know how many times I have had to stand there at 1am in the morning and go through this discussion with less than sober patrons.

Technically there is no right or wrong spelling and every manufacturer will spell it the way they like. Irish and American distilleries tend to spell their products with an "e" before the "y",(whiskey) and the rest of the world drop the "e"(Whisky). This is not always the case. Off the top of my head, Makers Mark, George Dikel, Paddy, drop the "e" from the spelling of their American and Irish products respectively.

Then some drunken will say come up to me and say " hey they spelt Makers Mark Whisky wrong"
I reply "How is that so"
Patron Response " Makers Mark is not a f***** whiskey, it's a bourbon" It never ends grain mash, corn mash, new barrels, old barrels.

I think the important question is how does whisky, whiskey and bourbon taste any different? Especially at the younger age.

 

[glenos]

taste any different? Especially at the younger age.

Or at 1am after 10 beers?

I had my own version of change over day this week moving my winter motorcycle gear to my lighter gear. Changed back the next day after getting soaked through on the way home from work.

 

[Pbgoose]

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Hey @Monsta_AU / @alfredus - does this result in a ban?

At the very least, let this be a lesson for us all.

What really troubles me though is @eggbert's comment that "the giftee was the wife" - I mean, seriously? If my wife gave me something like that there would be words, and I'd be buyer her a drill or jigsaw or something for her next gift ...

I think it deserves consideration as such.

And suddenly I wanna go to Bunnings

Changeover Day (noun) - the day that a gentlemen wet shaver changes from autumn/winter to spring/summer scents and soaps and vice versa. Usually the first Saturday in Spring and Autumn.

Out with the old ...

... and in with the new.

I go with the Fire service recommendation of changing my soaps when I change the clocks. 4th Oct marked in the Calendar.

An angle-grinder. Or a chainsaw. Every well-bred lady should have a chainsaw.

I am working on a tub of mdc And before that a tub of APR. will probably be still using that tub in two years time. But, I better use a premium tub than just have the soap just sit there on the shelf.

did I mention that it keeps on going on and on and on and on and on

 

[Mark1966]

Having adopted the @alfredus recommendation (and updated the definition in the OP accordingly) just a heads up folks -

Less than 10 days to be using that summer kit!

 

[Bucephalus]

Am I the ONLY person who does a changeover?

Nope.

 

[Gargravarr]

Heh, just use it until it doesn't feel right anymore, THEN change.

 

[Mark1966]

You rebel!

Must be all the convict genes down in Taswegia

That's right, those genes get expressed even when you happen to be born on the other side of the planet.

It rubs off on 'visitors' after a while too

 

[Gargravarr]

Most of my stuff works fine all the year round, and there's only one thing in my comparatively small collection that will be replaced. You'll know I'm starting to feel the cold when you start to see Two Kings in my SOTDs, and Rawr will be put away for a warmer time (though not necessarily Spring).

 

[Mark1966]

That time again - in with the 'new'
