Taigh to FAC: North Taigh is Ours
ABERDEEN - Taighans swarmed Murrayfield Stadium earlier today in a show of solidarity and support for the Taighan inhabitants of North Taigh, the part of the country which lies on the far side of the Strait of Fife...
Barrowman had to restrain his sarcasm. Oh, is that all, he thought. It's more than I had hoped for by a mile! He did not say that, however; instead, he smiled that wry smile of his.
"We understand that every country is different; thus, we are more than happy to work out a separate alcohol...
Barrowman took a breath. "My," he said, "that is quite a list." He took a quick - but not too quick - sip.
"Well, I can certainly say that we would be interested in whatever your brewers and distillers have to offer; your general quality must be nothing short of exceptional, based on your...

Finch Pushes New Capital Punishment Legislation
STIRLING - Conservative MP Stewart Finch seems determined to remain in the national political conversation, now that the Progressives have gained control of the Parliament. After the small stir that his...
Barrowman returned the toast, unable to suppress a welcoming grin. Now this is a man who knows his way around whisky. He took a sip himself, the familiar smokiness loosening him up.
"First of all, let me just say how fantastic it is to find another man who appreciates a good glass of Whisky...
Well, this is an interesting change, thought Barrowman. This man knows exactly what he wants.
He spoke as he moved to the wet bar. "It's fantastic to hear that His Highness is enthusiastic about with our nation; we are of course similarly enthused to be involved with such a prestigious...
OOC: Quick point of order, my capitol is Stirling, not Aberdeen.
***
On one level, Secretary Barrowman was relieved to be meeting in the Foreign Office, as opposed to Stirling Castle; the nigh-constant diplomatic visits had made the Drawing Room almost bland. On the other hand, there was a...
EDIT: Looks like the country who had claimed this was a puppet, which is now inactive. This is now a legit request.

Damn, Irish Gaelic, thought Russell, I never learned Irish Gaelic. Screw it, just go with it! He extended his hand in greeting.
"Pleasure to meet you. Russell Douglas, Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs. The Secretary apologizes that he was not here to meet you in person; he was called into a...
They own all of the power facilities? Scot thought to himself. How terribly inefficient.
"Very well," he said, setting down his drink, "you may buy us out once you obtain the funds, but not a moment before; our nation cannot yet afford to operate on the promise of money. In addition, just so...
Banca na Taigh
We would like to make a preliminary investment of 100 shares of stock in Rizzo Manufacturing.
(OOC: See News Thread for notice of banking activities)
Once more, Scot took a drink. Negotiations can be quite fun, he thought to himself.
"Actually, if you'll allow me to be blunt for a moment, we don't have much interest in your coal. What we do want from you, however, is investment. Allow me to explain, if I may."
He produced a small remote...
Barrowman noticed the "whisky grimace" on Denever's face after his first sip of Scotch. He should have realized it sooner: Freiheitians were clearly a beer culture. He immediately relaxed inwardly; there was, in his mind, no such thing as an intimidating man who couldn't handle his whisky.
"I...

Stirling Airstrip
Russell Douglas had never been very fond of the Stirling Airstrip. It was designed mainly for small plane, private jet, and helicopter use; it's use as a diplomatic landing strip was originally a secondary concern. It was, in a word, small; there were no large terminals with...
