New owner confirmed…

Since Nov 7th I don’t think I have. I think I may soon though.

I have had the far more serious Man Flu, none of that soft Aussie **** & as a result a lot of it was medicinal. I’m not an alco or owt. Honest!

 

We'e you in intensive care? Though someone I know ended up in hospital in France a while ago and was amazed when they brought a glass of wine around with the meals. Now there's a health service!

 

Been laid up with that man flu as well, no booze since the New Year, lost loads of weight.

 

You feeling better now? I got it the day after Boxing Day so just stayed boozed up.

 

You get that here too
Mrs Tash had an op recently at Spire in a Anlaby (but on NHS) and there was wine in the ward menu if you wanted it (may have been chargeable though)

 

I barely had anything to drink tonight actually (well a gin and a couple of glasses of white wine but I’m pretty sure that doesn’t count)

 

Don't get it for free on the NHS though. Although a few years ago I was in hospital in Scarborough for an operation and a nurse at night time asked if I wanted a bottle as I couldn't get out of bed. I said jokingly I wouldn't mind a bottle of brown. Which was a strange thing to say as I don't like brown ale. Anyway, she came back with a chilled bottle of light ale. Ended up having 3. She said they kept some in for alcoholics who were getting agitated. Don't know if that was true or she was having me on but they don't appear to do that now. On a recent stay in the same hospital an alcoholic was going up the wall and disturbing everyone. No bottle of beer but a sedative.

The only story my dear father would talk about after the war, was when he came back from Egypt he had a bad case of dysentery. Once he had got over the first part of recovery in the military hospital, they put him on a course of Guiness to build him back up again. He didn't want to come out.

 

My Great Grandma used to drink a bottle of stout every day
Lived to 97

Guinness is good for you

 

I have a bottle of Old Peculiar most days...

...make of that what you will.

 

Grapes - part of your 5-a-day.

 

There is some truth in that John. Antioxidants are present. There was a claim that iron content was high in Guinness - but it isn't really that high.

 

Have we been sold yet?

 

Yep. £130m plus 10% of revenue for the next 10 years. The buyer is a consortium led by Big John from Karelia cars.

 

tomorrow

 

Tomorrow will be brilliant then. My local pub has a sign announcing there will be free beer tomorrow.

 

October last year.

 

My beloved Grandma only lasted to 94 on a bottle of Mackeson daily, obviously the wrong brew.

Actually I just nicked the Guinness slogan. She drank Mackesons too

So that is absolute proof that drinking Mackesons will mean you live into your mid 90’s
