Bud is definitely not beer. Not sure what it is but it ain't beer.
Millers isn't much better.
And of course there is always Heineken, aka gnat's piss.

£195 for a pair of specs and I've been told have a light haze which in the long term is cataracts. Good job Pentax put a loud Beep so I'll have a rough idea the focus is right

McEwans Scotch, Mechanics Arms, Scotswood Road, Newcastle. 1970. had to make it a shandy. Cameron Strong Arm, Can not remember the pub. Hartlepool, 1975. again ended up as a shandy.

Flowers Best Scotch and Ordinary were rank, though their Brewmaster Export was very popular, circa mid 60's. Double Diamond in the Seaman's Club Dubai was undrinkable (early 80's).

Portobello Porter. Rather like drinking a bottle of vinegar mixed with molasses.

Mind you, the worst Scotch Whisky I've tasted (how to start a fight) is Talisker, once wonderfully described by someone as 'like sucking a peat bog through a straw'.

What brilliant descriptions Gareth!

His nibs likes a whisky (Bowmore??) that to me smells of Germolene. I can't be in the same room as him when he has a glass.

Greenalls Lager.... Grünhalle or whatever they called it
was undrinkable They gave up in the end and called
it a day as far as brewing was concerned and bought stuff
off other breweries

Smile please, you’re in Greenall Whitley land!

Having just bought a couple of SD cards on Amazon I was bemused
at the list "Recommendations Based on Your Order" :-

Card Reader - I've already got one, from 7Day - thanks
Raspberry Pi User Guide ????
Spear & Jackson Border Fork ??????
Plug in Digital Door Bell ??????
Nikkon AF-S 18-55 zoom - why would I want one

Where on earth do they get these ideas from as they are nothing I've ever searched (even google) for

I've just had an email allegedly from What Digital Camera Magazine
the subject: Stan|A proffessional eye check for only £10 with Boots*

So is wearing Boots the new criteria for having an eye check ? I wonder how much it would cost if I only wore shoes or flip-flops

How amateur.
