Referenced in song by the immortal Dominic Behan ballade "MacAlpine's Fusiliers" with the verse: "I've worked till the sweat near had me beat with Russian, Czech and Pole, At shuttering jams up in the Hydro Dams, or underneath the Thames River in a hole, I grafted hard and I got me cards and many a ganger's fist across me ears. If you pride your life, don't join, by Christ, with McAlpine's Fusiliers."

Love their products. Have bought numerous mugs. Buy 'em.
If you buy these mugs. You are a giga chad
They managed to squeeze the (edited down) definition onto the side of the mug in its entirety, so no complaints! Was worried it was going to cut off in the middle of a word or something.
The definition really makes it

My Aiden mug is awesome
This item was ordered as a gift, so you can imagine how happy I was to see it arrive in a box. Not only was it true to order in color and wording but was also without holes and held a strong cup of tea. However, I would not recommend green tea for this mug, or any mug for that matter as I prefer black teas. Emiyah will love it once she decides to return from France bringing her awesome hair and her kind heart and maybe some macaroons. I will put it to use until then and think of her fondly.
