    Adnams do some fantastic ales. Suffolk based, out on the coast.

    I only mention this as was in the Spoons where I work last week, (honestly no ****, I was!), and they had this Adnams on the pump.

    Closer inspection and it said Barley wine. I asked the bloke behind the bar what the **** it was and he said yes, it was indeed barley wine. 8.5%!


    I didn't bother.

    Sounds like something the local pissheads would be ordering when Spoonies opens at 9am

    Have to say I am a big kebab fan. From the home made fried meat kebabs to the takeaway ones. Kobeda type are my favourite

    @Commachio not so much chicken these days unless they use thigh meat. Find the breast meat too dry unless its part of a mixed grill type thing

    So apparently they don't like people singing Saints versions of the songs they're playing at the Christmas market <laugh>

    I like all kebabs.

    When I was young I’d even feast on doner meat and chips (for a pound).

    Sober!

    I don't mind a donner now and again

    There us different grades of donner. A place down the road make their own. 100% meat. Still needs the fat to hold together obviously but its premium minced meat. You xsn really taste the difference to your average donner meat.

    Pricey mind, £6:50 ish. But well worth it now and again

  12. Yes, I suppose you need to.

    Well, perhaps "waddle really quickly" is probably more apt, eh, Stan?

    I constantly surprise myself at how I can still chuck out a decent run. ****ed knee, ****ed ankle (both football), ****ed back (genetic) and I’ve hardly lived liked a professional athlete but I still seem to do alright.

    Try to do 25-30k a week but it has to be on the treadmill now.

    Used to be 40k a week around the common. Loved that.

    I used to run cross country for the marines. Used to pound ridiculous mileage. Before we passed out the last test was a 30 miler across Dartmoor.

  17. I won't tell you what I used to do, because you wouldn't believe me.

    Maximum respect fella.

    My son’s godfather did his spell in NI. When he spoke about that stuff I just listened as anything I said would be futile!
