September 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment

At tonight’s Twestival there is an extraordinary, unprecedented chance to bid for Son of Leek Rabbit in our massive charity auction.

Bizarrely it seems that there are some who don’t appreciate the significance, and sinister implications, of this. For your own safety it would be best if you acquainted yourself with his infamous progenitor…

MP spares no expense!

September 3, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The Island’s MP, Andrew Turner, is getting the Twestival spirit! He has generously donated a bottle of House of Commons Blended Scotch Whisky for the Twestival auction. The blurb on the natty presentation box states:

The House of Commons Blended Scotch Whisky is fruity and mellow with a hint of spice. Matured, selected and blended by Gordon and McPhail of Elgin, Scotland -  a family owned and run company with more than one hundred years of experience in creating and bottling the finest Scotch whiskies.

At 40% vol it should have you rolling in the aisles! Thanks Mr Turner.
