The beer is quite nice, but the artwork is win.

Decent bitter/ale ftw

Fuller's London Pride > All other beverages

Actually, the grolsch question wasn't related to their contents.

/explaination time.

I have guitars, guitars have straps. Guitars fall off straps with a bit of jiggling once they've settled in and made the holes in the strap a bit bigger.

Solution = strap locks, however the commerical ones arn't 100% foolproof and can come apart/break (plus you have to modify your guitar)

For quite a few years now, the red rubber washer found inside the grolsch swing tops has proven to be pretty much 99% effective and the correct size and strength to hold straps on with no modifications.

Most people throw them out, for the sake of me sending a SAE to someone, I can get a number of pairs of makeshift straplocks at a fraction of the cost to purchase commercial ones.

Have a look round at photo's of pro guitarists/bassists/people who used those wierd 80's keyboards which were a bit like a guitar, quite a few will have the grolsch rubber bits on.

/end of explaination and utter tangent.

It's nice, but I'd rate marstons pedigree as betterrer, and if someone says it's not a session bitter because of it's sulphur taste, then you're just soft.

I do like black sheep bitter, especially compared to theakstons, which to me is flat, watery and not even remotely bitter. It tasted better when it was actually made in masham though.

Fullers porter is nice too, but it's one to savour.

Have we still got that beer thread?

Seek and you shall find

Much as I like ales, I'll probably be drinking lager because I intend on consuming large quantities of it and as well as making me full/fat I'll not be able to taste the difference after about five bottles.

Y'allright bozzers?

Ten days remain.
Get your last orders in now.

Erm, can I order an even large portion of EPIC WIN please?

shotguns. so that in case we get bored we could always go chav hunting.

ooh. i almost forgot. i always wanted to try the fabled battenburg (berg?) cake, unless you can convince me it's really, really shit.

It tastes fucking win. Unless you dislike sponge and marzipan.

Battenberg cake is epic win.

It's also on offer in Tesco/Sainsburys (one of the two, canne remember which), or at least it was last week.

I got 2 lyons ones for £2.

Battenberg is ok, French Fancies are far better.

Better in your stomach or in your eye?

Don't you go slandering French Fancies me laddie! They're perfect with an espresso, not least because the miniature size adds to the campness of the experience.

They're all too sweet for me. Too much icing and stuff. Flapjacks, and maybe a victoria sponge.

Buzz is referencing the catapult like action that the fancies were distributed in last time.

Ah, I see. Carry on!

A huge bag of coke and a load of roofies plz.


Failing that, a crack pipe and plenty of rocks.


Failing that, excessive amounts of baconz!
