[Falling Down]

Had a couple of pints of Easy Rider in the Sheaf View a couple of weekends ago - reet tasty from the Kelham Islands brewing wizards

[Yossarian]

but your book also claims that you can train whilst drinking mahitos'

i wrote an article years ago about a theory i had concerning the beneficial effects of drinking fruit-based cocktails.  sadly, like so many of my theories, it sank into oblivion...

try googling "healthy cocktails" and see if you can spot it.

i only seem to be able to drink strongbow and diamond at the moment... have trouble keeping anything else down...
that's the problem with only weighing 8 stone...

[clm]

are you old enough to drink??

[dave]

I really hope andi-e isn't one of them skutters that hang around outside offfies asking people to buy them 2 litres of white lightning or a bottle of 20/20.

Mmm...undecided about badgers, had Champions and absolutely glorious, the first was awesome, the latter tasted of peaches and flowers abit to much. Not bad though...after a couple of bottles....

Only just realised that tanglefoot and thirsty ferret are badgers beers, now they are quality!

[Bubba]

Just had some Tom Wood "Jolly Ploughman" - very nice indeed

[andy_e]

Anyone going to Bolton? Then DON'T go to the Lion Of Vienna opposite Bolton School, Sam Smith's everything i'm afraid. No wonder it's the cheapest pub in Bolton, the Bitter is horrible, the Cider is horrible, the Lager is horrible, heck, even the Cola is horrible!

[Jim]

sam smiths bitter is very good and cheap. D pils lager is silly juice.
you are obviously a loon. I have suspected it before but this latest post proves it without a shadow of a doubt.
PS
who goes into a pub orders a pint of bitter, decides it horrid, then tries a pint of lager,thats horrid, then cider, horrid and finally decides to wash it down with horrible cola?
oh yeah, you only get sam smiths stuff in a sam smiths pub, nowhere else and they don't sell out else either. to yates' with you

[Jim]

Awesome!

you can even wash your clothes while your enjoying a few pints.

[Graeme]

Whereabouts in Manchester are you based? If its not too far give Banktop Brewery in Bolton a ring they'll sell you a keg or two.
