Me “but Vikings didn’t wear helmets like this so I don’t know what you mean"?

Torment a pendant, it eases the day.

I am so glad that we are allowed to mention politics, culture, Ruairidh’s headgear and chariot racing, but not Test Cricket.

The whisky is called "Viking Scars", which you probably get if you cut the horns off.
