Wahey!
Just had a phone call from work telling me in no uncertain terms that I will be in a lot of trouble if I go in because it is my day off and they do not need me at all. Even a bit.
@Hanne - Don’t get me started on my hot water bottle cover fetish - it’s even more depraved than my shoe problem.
Good, now swap days off for the weekend and go to work :)
More depraved? Ha.
I want the Zebra print one
Dan, what else would I be doing in the West Midlands? I was getting thoroughly soaked in the rain, and moaning. Then I went for lunch in some Brewer’s Fayre pub next to a roundabout and had to wait over an hour for food, so I moaned some more.
Then we went to Birmingham, and they have Xmas decorations in Selfridges.
IT’S AUGUST FOR FUCK’S SAKE.
Then I just shouted cunt a lot. It was very therepeutic :)

Weekend off? Nice idea, we’re going to be busier than a Lebanese rubble-disposal company.
You’re not allowed to say cunt in GM, Smum shouts at you, but I won’t tell her because you’re special *smiles creepily*

I only drink a few largers, Kronenburg seems to be the one i order the most. I do like a bottle of Millers or Corona now and then… but they are more for flavour than strangth. I am Mainly a stout man:)

For years and years Whitbread would import vast vats of concentrated Heineken into the UK, water it down until it was 3.4%abv and sell it as Heineken Cold Filtered. It was flavourless, watery and took you so long to get drunk that it was usually better to hit yourself over the head with a pan, pour chilli sauce down your best shirt and flush your money down the toilet to replicate the sensation.
Whitbread was then bought by Interbrew, the brand owner of Stella Artois (which Whitbread had been brewing under license in the UK) As Heineken was an international competitor, Interbrew severed their ties and bought the licensing rights to Castlemaine XXXX from Carlsberg-Tetley to sell as their low abv lager.
This left Heineken without any brand presence in the UK, so they re-launched Heineken as a premium 5% lager, as sold on the continent (previously available as Heineken Export) with a big advertising campaign, and European Rugby sponsorship.
Unfortunately, the majority of British Drinkers still remember Heineken as the piss-weak flavourless straw-coloured fluid and refused to buy it - I on the other hand quite like it - and Marja, compared to what we DID have, it is beautiful nectar. I still prefer Grolsch though (check to make sure it say imported on the bottle - that way it’snot brewed in Burton Upon Trent and tastes much better for it!)
I thoroughly enjoy the likes of Leffe but I couldn’t drink it every day. I’m more of a real ale man anyway.

well said mr bomb! :) Yeah, its been lovely stuff since the relaunch and one of the few foreign lagers actually brewed abroad.
I like my real ales, it depends where i am though. If i’m out on the piss and all the bars are trendy places i’ll have to drink corona or bud, if i’m local i’ll drink whatever the guest ales are. I’ve got a couple of mates who own pubs and they always have decent guest ales on.
