more chance of getting pissed on a cup of tea..........

What the **** would you know about beer drinking that NZ piss. With an SG of 4.0 and over Banks's is as good as any of the crap you can buy over there. I know I've spent enough time there. Anyway who the hell goes out with the sole idea of getting pissed that's a child's mentality.
 
Its Friday night, I'm staying in, Osca, well he is in his usual state of sleep, snoring and farting.

Why not pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink and join me for a gossip, a laugh and a good time before we face another weekend of potential gloom.

Some great news, Sunderland won the first dec in the election, thank god we get something right.

I'm off for a week away tomorrow, no laptop in a cottage on a farm on the Northumberland coast, near Seahouses. Not a holiday just a get away week, some chill out time and some long walks with my boy, looking forward to it.

What you up to?

Baysitting my grandson for the night, always a pleasure, even though he's only 9 weeks old I'm trying to get his first word to be Stokoe or Porterfield, his grandma thinks I'm crackers, but what the hell
 
Can you get Banks's down there Seaham Lad. I'm just up the road in Worcester, and all I drink is Banks's mild, great stuff!!
I have not seen it but Banks were taken over by Marstons so you might see it in Marstons pubs. Great day yesterday some excellent beers, good company and I seemed to have a dream that a team in red and white chunky cardigans wearing sandals beat Bolton 2-1 - can't be true can it? Good stuff that mild!

Mild is a style of beer nothing to do with strength - usually beers that don't have a hoppy taste. For instance Sarah Hughes ruby mild is 6% - and damn fine it is too! Anyone coming to Bristol try the Seven Stars (Pub of the year in Bristol for the past 2 years) and the Cornubia - great beer and both close to the train station.

You seem a tad defensive there old boy, you’re not wrong about most NZ beer however there are one or two decent drops available............ I never go out with teh sole idea of getting pissed............its just one of the ideas............bottoms up!

Almost right Seaham Lad, Banks (Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries) took over Marstons but the only mild you can get in any of their pubs is Banks's. SAFC73 I was stuck in Invercargill for a few months back in the early 80's. Not noted for it's famous nightlife. The only beer I can remember I think was called Speight's. I know that I was not overly impressed
