Boo Fucking Hoo, they are realising that the PL is fucked due to all the fixtures involving Europe competitions and how that they are struggling to announce fixtures at home.

Indeed Spit [Link]

Yeah use to drink Burts in late 80s in the pubs of Shanklin, think it came from Ventnor.

Try Lilly cider I can’t get enough of the stuff especially the fruity one dangerous stuff but goes nice with fish and chips

Oh man, as a 17 year old I was invited to a party where I knew a girl that I fancied was going to be. Went to an off-license in Woking in a desperate attempt to get some alcohol (I looked young for my age) and managed to succeed, but in my haste/panic I bought an 8 pack of Beamish Stout.

Alan - They're not where I thought they were and it's too hot to go rooting around the workshop. Will have to be later later, aligator.

Bring back stout.

I used to like Burts beer, A local brewery. So cheap, bit shit but as a yoof it was the go to drink.

Alan - Similar idea, but the wires went directly into the brass barrel, no threaded hole. If I can find them I'll send you a pic. Got a vague recollection of using one of them as a scriber donkey's years ago, so probably only 2 left.

Wonder if light and bitter/lager will ever come back into fashion. Suppose not with pub prices and not many pubs do a light ale

Oh well let's talk about beer :-)

Another case of not reading the room!

Pete,like these [Link] The ones in my dads darts were cane with a tin ring around the top to lock in, like you say paper flights.

"Does it matter?" Yes it does.

And indeed it's disrespectful to Simon Bassey.

Sol and Corona are both truly revolting.

Aideen - agree, in total he was here for 17 years, as player coach and twice as caretaker manager. Add it all up and on the footballing side, he has been involved on more AFCW matches than anyone else! It is plain disrespectful, it may have been done through ignorance, but 6 weeks later for it to still be wrong is either disrespect or laziness.

WTID - I'm very envious that you've seen a State of Origin game (and a classic) in the flesh. I'm sure it'll be back soon with the new Perth Bears NRL team on the horizon.

All those lovely Mexican lagers there are and we get Sol and Corona over here.

KD - it’s been pissing down all day here but it didn’t spoil what really was a top quality game. the atmosphere & intensity of these Origin games really is something to experience. Not sure when they’ll be back in Perth but I’ll definitely be up for going again. As you said it sets it up nicely for the decider in Sydney

TBK I think it does matter yeah. It’s disrespectful to Bass for a start, and it’s been pointed out several times over the last 6 weeks so there’s been plenty of time to correct it if they wished.

Is any drink other than ice cold bottles of Peroni really needed for a day on the piss at football?unless you're a Guinness man which I completely understand.

Babycham never sold when you could get it in pints. Brilliant marketing by someone to turn it into the "drink for the ladies" for a while.

What about a pint of babycham

DO, does it matter? Chill out.
