    For Xmas beer, Sam Adams is just the business. Expensive, but more depth than any other lager I've tried

    I suspect 'badly' will turn out to be the answer.

    I wasn't going to drink today but this Christmas beer talk has whetted my appetite.

    Got a couple of boxes of mixed ale, golden ales and traditional, whatever that is supposed to mean.

    Couple of those this evening will go down a treat.

    ... here's what I do ... if it's in a plastic bag, keep it in the bag and fold the bag too. Then wrap the lot.together. Think of it as added insurance for when you have scissors near the bundle.

    If you have chosen the dressing gown without prior consultation, make doubly sure you have kept the receipt for when you inevitably have to take it back to the shop after Xmas.

    Funniest thing was when I went into a rather posh lingerie shop and bought her some stuff that I reaaly (and I do mean really) liked .<grr> . when I had to take it back after Xmas, the rather attractive sales assistant added to my shame by cracking up laughing as I took it all out the bag and commented ... "You won't believe how many guys we've had returning stuff today ... and it's always the red and black!!! alaways!! .. you lot never learn" .... cheeky bitch only got away with it because I was preoccupied looking at hr tits <laugh> ...

    I like a proper pint of Guniess in the colder months but it just isn't the same from bottles or cans as it is on draft in Ireland ... closest you can get is at the Cheltenham race festival in March where they have dedicated bars set up for the Oirish <ok>

    That used to be true.
    There's no difference nowadays, if it's kept properly. It's all brewed in Dublin now.

    Well that's done, I can get back to doing nothing now.

    You need five hands to wrap presents properly, it's ridiculous. I paid extra to have this shirt for my dad 'giftwrapped' and it came in a ****ing black branded box. That's not gift wrapped you bastards.

    The gown got rolled up into a rugby ball shape. I should have used tin foil for that one.

    ... but the proper delivery is to mix part chilled with part room temperature ... which is difficult to replicate aaccurately ... I take your point on the brewing <ok>

    I'm going to drink beer tonight.

    Managed not to drink the last three days. One thing of not by not drinking as I've not slept well at all.

    It's brewed here by Shepherd Neame. No problem with that.

    Put it in a box and wrap box.
    or
    Put it in a Xmas bag and put tissue paper over top.
    or
    Put it in the bin and say you forgot
    :)

    Option 3 sounds a winner!

    Still, it's done now. Looks **** but it's what's inside that counts.
