Some holiday snaps of me. Just to prove I had a really good time.



I'm Iron Horse Jockey!!!  Aboard the famous Jacobite Steam Train that runs from Fort William to Mallaig, and was the train feature in Harry Potter movies. They let folks stand in the cab...I asked if I could stay there for the return journey. They said "Sure, as long as you shovel coal". I asked how much coal needed to be shovelled for the 58 mile trip. "3 tons". I resumed my carriage.

Here I am digging up peat. (And yes, we've heard all the "Pete" puns). Islay distilleries use peat to smoke the barley, as it has a distinct oceanic characteristic of salt and iodine (from the seaweed). This is part of the tour of the Laphroaig distillery, probably the best distillery tour in Scotland. And they use the peat we dig up in the disitillation process. So in ten years, your Laphroaig will have a little "Bricktop" in it.

I see you wear only Polo.  Scouse awared me that Ralph Lauren (Polo) is a Jew, and as such Hugo Boss would be a preferable garment...

Working in a distillery would be the best job in the world.

That depends...  Production work can get boring, at least it does for me.



They used to pay well though, but not anymore around here!  Now they pay average...

Yellow doesn't suit him at all. He looks like a Banana in Pyjamas. B1 or B2.

If you say so.

Never noticed his affinity for yellow until now...  Even the jacket trim has yellow.



Hey Brick!  What's up with the yellow all the time?

Bricktop

One shirt is yellow. How is that "all the time"?

Frood

Orange would suit better imho
Blahhhhhh...
