I was gunna get some Special Brew but that is only 7.5% so there ain't no point, the Tennent Super is only 8% these days, its actually quite a pleasant drink as long as you keep it cold and sip it rather than bollock it straight out of the can, always preferred the Special Brew though...might get myself another can tomorrow...if I revert back to being a functional alcoholic would that class as an essential shop? I'm running low on rum as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I’ve gone the other way, as it were. Tighter stubbly beard, dramatically shorter hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I might have posted this earlier but I dunno, anyways, I only shave once every couple of months anyway, I have though, made a promise not to shave until the lock down in over, think it was back at the start of Feb that I last shaved. I'm not a groomer I just leave it to grow until I look like an out and out tramp and then I chop it off, if this lock down goes on for a few more months it'll be interesting beard wise at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 For all of you taking this virus and the lockdown serious. I wouldn't grow a beard, holds the droplets and is very unhygienic in a pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Grauniad: Quote Fears have resurfaced about the ability of coronavirus to surge again after lockdowns are eased, as Singapore confirmed a sharp rise in new infections. One of the worst-hit countries when the virus first spread from China in January, Singapore’s strict surveillance and quarantine regime helped slow the outbreak, but recent rises in locally transmitted cases have raised fresh concerns. Singapore reported 142 new infections on Wednesday. Forty of the new cases were linked to foreign worker dormitories. Tens of thousands of blue-collar foreign workers live in close quarters in the city state. Countries around the globe are grappling with the complex logistics of when and how to loosen lockdown restrictions to allow economies to recover while also avoiding a second major outbreak. ...more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pure unfortunate coincidence that one. It’s a favourite album anyway, I knew that picture was on the YouTube version and I knew the context of the song. Quote "The Old Purple Tin (9% of Pure Heaven)" is about Tennent's Super, a 9% a.b.v. Scottish beer that comes in a purple can, which makes its consumers appear purple when aged and weathered, and thus deserves its reputation for being the drink of choice of the vagrant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a haircut though, more greys than I’d realised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly, minutes after that little exchange, up pops a picture of Larry Love of A3, fanboying with John Prine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted April 8, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2020 Trump has gone full Trump tonight. Summary here: It's the WHO's fault for getting the virus response wrong, he's going to look at whether he wants to keep on funding them -they're idiots, not him. Black Americans are dying in disproportionate numbers because they're disproportionally in poverty in a racist America? No, It's because they aren't following the rules well enough - they need to do better. Hey kids, buy hydroxychloroquine, it's good for you and it leaves you with a minty taste that lasts all day. He's a dangerous fruit loop with a hideous agenda. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
