Maybe. OK, you'd expect an old codger like me to be an alehound, but I've loved the stuff since I was in my teens. @il_serpente is right, though - some food requires lager (Warsteiner is my preference), but most needs wine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I generally don't drink cheap lager, only reason it makes me go the bog every 2 times a pint, after the seals broken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Panto_Villan Posted October 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2023 We bought my daughter some playdough today. It’s a child’s toy, and it only cost £2. Watching her immediately mix all the colours together was still irrationally painful. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that stuff with a passion! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 It's not raining. The weather said it would be hammering down today, all day. Now it's hammering down all morning and drizzly afternoon. Yet outside, not a drop. Todays work is weather dependant so it will be annoying to get ready for work and leave only to end up back home in a few hours if it waits until we get there before the heavens open.

We used to do that sort of thing. When someone got them some glue and glitter and millions of pieces toy we’d hide it until they forgot about it then give it someone else for their birthday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Just to be clear, I don't actually pick up dog shit with an unsheathed hand, I use a dog poo bag over the hand. Its a minor thing that doesn't even register as an irritation. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do you. But soft drinks being the same price, or often dearer, than alcohol. That should be illegal. Especially when you're pretending to try and promote no drink driving in suburban/rural pubs and I know soft drinks cost you comparitively the square root of **** all retail. Incentivise the soft drinks. But no, they'd rather absolutely squeeze every **** penny they can out of the poor sod who; for whatever reason; has to be on the orange pop that evening. Even the alcohol free stuff should be a lot cheaper than it is, given your purchase price/taxation is significantly affected by alcohol content. When I worked in a pub, a lager shandy was the same price as a pint in the till. I used to put it through as a half pint of lager + mixer of lemonade which reduced the price by about 25%.

Everyday I go out poop bag over hand then collect the shit then go and put it in the public bin over the road from us. The only annoying part is when you’ve had days like today where’s it’s hammering it down and it’s pointless trying to collect it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not for everyone I admit. It can be frustrating at times but imo they are an integral part of the family and the house wouldn’t be the same without one. I’ll always have dogs, I enjoy their company and the walks too much . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
