    I'll only order Strongbow as a last resort if no other cider is available.

    Prefer Blackthorn<ok>

    If the attacker is armed with a strongbow, then to make things fair the cops should only be allowed to fight back with the same weapon.

    Right now, I'm drinking a can of Strongbow Original (it's from a multi-buy offer at Sainsury's 3 x 15 cans I got them for £23, gotta get them in while you still can), it's quite nice and tangy and is 5% strength.

    It's only about 5 years ago that foreigners started making their cider substitute, now they think they're the experts.

    Strongbow gives me unbearable heartburn, the chest roastings as I like to call them.

    I'd imagine an arrow to the chest delivered by a long bow would be more pleasant

    When I was a student I used to drink snakebite consisting of 50% Special Brew/Tennants Super and 50% Merrydown. Was sick every time. Wouldn't touch cider nowadays but do use it for cooking.

    Mel is also a raging anti-semitic, as are all Australians.

    We Scots, we proud Scots, we battered **** oot they Nigels. We gave them a 200 year head start to give them that sense of false security. Then Willis the Bruce turned up and sent them home tae think again.

    Look out for the upcoming Hollywood movie: "Willis The Bruce - The Armageddon Years - Part 1"
