You dunderheaded, woolly-brained waste-of-space ...

The term "woolen" was used in direct response to Kafenes' use of "woolen" as part of the comment ...

Please stop these continual attempts to undermine me as a way to get attention ... you have never once managed to get anything right.

So stop hounding me, bitch.

I am not a whisky drinker myself, but in the bars most of the seasoned drinkers drink Grouse or johnny Walker (by seasoned drinker i mean guys over forty who drink whisky in preference to lager or beer as opposed to the younger set who might take a few halfs/shorts along with a pint on occasion.)
