Time for a brew (non alcoholic) and I've just heard the order "I'll have one if you're making one" translated "You better make me a cup of tea or else"

I often wonder if I'd be the man I am today if I hadn't discovered the dubious pleasure of strong drink, followed next day by strong pain killers, or a livener, just to take the edge off these days the drinks cabinet loses more to evaporation than imbibing

Bass, that's a blast from the past. Is it still around?

I've no idea Barrie. I think it may have gone the way of the old type pub that didn't even have a Spirits license, Beer only, no juke box, just sensible people putting the world right and getting p***ed. Also being invited to a Lock In

Have you tried those Guinness cans that are poured out then swirled by the magnet thing on the bar. I've had a couple and they are better than the widget variety.

Didn't know such a gadget existed Barrie. Have had fun, in the past, at parties playing "Pick a Can". I'm not sure if things are the same but when I worked in pubs we would let the bottled Guinness and Bass stand for a week or two before selling to allow the "finings" to settle. One reason I would never allow bar staff to pour a bottle of Guinness in a glass for me

Many moons ago we were allowed to purchase a case of 24 (330ml) cans of Guinness from the bonded stores aboard ship. This beverage was referred to as the Green Goddess. Best tasting Guinness I've ever had, outside of Ireland

No it wasn't the moped, you couldn't pedal it, once the engine died you had to push it first thing that went was the kick start so had to bump start it. Then it just stopped. I believe it was later found that the exhaust was blocked. Anyway as we were all under 16 it was great fun for an hour or two.

Just realised I'll be in Lowestoft on the 25th and have in-laws in Romford! Have I got time to put a PWE (Prize Winning Entry) in ?
