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.

Working in a distillery would be the best job in the world.Quote from: "Odinson"
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.

One shirt is yellow. How is that "all the time"?Quote from: "Bricktop"
The one in the leather chair looks 'yellowish' also, but that could just be a pic effect I suppose...

I've had loads of Ralph clothes over the years. I had a catch up with an old mate recently and I was wearing a Ralph jumper, he clocked it as soon as I met him, I just thought he liked it! Then later on he dropped the bombshell, he said my face was a picture. Needless to say I haven't worn it since. In fact Bricktop can have it if he likes.

Thus we can conclude that Scouse walks the streets and lanes of Liverpool naked.
No clothes designed by Jews.
No clothes made by chinks, or Asians.
No clothes made by communists.
That does not leave many options for the wardrobe.
