Rather drink coruba.

I see that some recalibration of my Philistinic alcoholic beverage scale is in order...

A 1-10 scale where:
1 = Creme de menthe and lemonade
2 = Vodka and lucozade
3 = Southern Comfort & coke
4 = Anything other than mineral water in whisky
5 = Brandy, with or without anything in it
6 = Coruba and any other dark rum for that matter, with or without mixers
7 = Parfait amour
8 = Schlivovitz
9 = Vatted malts
10 = American chemical beers (e.g. Budweiser & Miller)

Yes.

Having once been served such, a while back, out of an clear plastic bottle (I'm not entirely sure that it was the genuine item from the Slivovitz distillery...) by recent (at the time) Serbian immigrants, I can attest to its Philistinic nature.

It's not 'arf bad, actually, if you like that sort of stuff.

Regarding Jameson's, one must at least admit that it is both cheaper and far more palatable than Johnnie Red.

Damned with faint praise?

But are they a Philistine's beverage of choice?

Hi JR

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, I have been driving my ute to work this week (complete with a ramp) but I don't remember driving past you. Today (in about 40 minutes) I take my bike in for certification. I bought it in 1988 and have many fond memories. I guess it is going to be a mixed blessing riding it to work every day when I have become so attached. The XJ has found a new home!!!! methinks it will be unrecognisable in a short while (if it hasn't become that way already) but I wasn't so attached to the XJ, I've only had it for 5 years.

If you need any help with the lecky give me a ring.

Random . If you wanna hand and gargre pace etc bring the beast to my place. I'm more than happy to help ya disect the machine and I might have a couple of clues on how to fix it for ya. -None involve a 50l petrol can and a match.
Actually the other thing is Ive got a headlight bracket setup that would be cool to try to convert ya bike to nekkid.
