Plonk is a non-specific and derogatory term used primarily in British and Australian English for cheap, low-quality wine. It is believed to come from Australian slang, in reference to blanc (the French word for "white"), before it became naturalised in Britain.

So is a plonker someone who drinks cheap wine ? <whistle>

I don't like the strong anti inflammatories, Diclofenac played **** with me for a number of years. Did have to try naproxen last time this flared up about three years ago but would rather not.

Am actually popping a couple of CBD oil tablets this time. May work, may not.

I'm lucky in that the things that really give me gout are not the things I really love (beer) fruit is my biggest trigger and too much seafood can set it off.
 
Lager/beer/stout/guinness all vile

Cider the drink of choice, Thatchers gold probably the best. Strongbow comfortably the worst

Not a lot of difference between them.

Between the different ciders? I would disagree, but then I would say the same about basically every lager I have ever tried, IPA etc so guess it just depends on how educated you are on the drink.

I remember walking into my uni halls bar when I first got there and asked for a pint of Blackthorn and they looked at me like I was speaking a different language. After some arm waving I finally got it across I wanted cider "oh yeah we got that, Stongbow or Magners". I was tempted to drop out after my first week

Stowford Press is ok too.

Don't mind Stowford, becomes a bit acidic after a few though. Symonds the worst for that though, literally feels like you are drinking acid after a pint and a half.

There are lots of good/great ciders around so it is why it always surprises me how popular Strongbow is around the country, I do live in cider hotspot though so am probably spoilt for choice.

Fair point. I like a pint of cider now and then but not often.

One of the boozers down at Spurs were selling cans - yes cans! - of Stowford on a matchday for £4.50 while pints of beer/ cider were going for £5.50. Since the new stadium opening, it’s been well documented that they’re losing out on loads of business as the new stadium is selling most pints for £4.
