Never knew Lanzarote made wine, learn something every day
It was pretty scarce over the years due to the climate and trying to grow grapes in the arid,dry conditions,although they do use an ingenious technique to water the vines(using a thick layer of volcanic ash which captures moisture by condensation during the night).

The vineyards have become more plentiful nowadays due to them getting more rain than they used to but the prices keep increasing...Probably due to it's quality and popularity...

Stunning wines!!
 
I used to work in the town in Hull and there was always a group of people waiting for 3 Johns to open at 9. Very sad. On the subject of Fulham has the new stand been finished? I remember seeing the plans and it looked amazing.

yes mate. Now open & is fantastic, the roof top pool is a little ott. The leisure / river side of the new stand is open every day, must be earning them a decent income. Great idea for income outside of march days

People that say 'mental health' like it's a bad thing.

"Oh, he's got mental health"... That's a good thing though.

'Poor mental health' or 'mental health issues', fair enough, but people that come out with "I've got mental health" just strike me as fakers who have picked up a phrase incorrectly and use it as an excuse, usually to act like a twat - clearly undiagnosed as no self respecting medical professional would use the phrase... "I'm sorry John, you've got mental health".

Rant over.

Fly tippers ,strangely not one of the six were named in the article .

Six Hull residents who were caught dumping waste in city streets have each been fined £1,000.

Hull City Council is urging people to make use of the multiple authorised waste schemes and services available in the city, following the action taken last month. In the six separate incidents, the offenders were caught dumping waste in Bristol Road, Melwood Grove, Lambert Street, Airlee Street, Mayfield Street, and Grandale.
 
I just got a message from America checking where all my gear is made ahead of placing an order.

He'd just bought two shirts and a pair of trousers from one of my customers (not my gear) for $250, but found out when they arrived, that the two shirts had been made in China and customs slapped him a duty/tax/clearance charge of $199, almost doubling the price.

The tariff-faced ****s them.

Hang on.

Trump said you’ll pay it so the buyer should be fine…
