Delta... probably less love affair, more knee trembler in the toilets at Nando's.
I won't say I'll never drink it again. did a decent mind trickery job to help with my quality v quantity dilemma, but it was very gassy and made me fart a lot. Also had a slightly odd taste... almost like artificial banana?? In any case I've got Sainsbury's Basics Lager (0.9 units a can) to road test next. ![]() |

I might have found Skol's (slightly) better-looking cousin: Mann's Brown Ale...2.8%... 1.4 units in 500ml.
https://groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/product/Manns-Brown-Ale-Bottle/120060011 Decent ratings on Morrisons and ratebeer.com - no mention of artificial bananas that I can see. Found it in a Poundland rip-off tat shop today while getting Sellotape... 89p a bottle*. No harm in trying it out. *89p per bottle of ale, not per bottle of Sellotape |

Friday: No pub. Instead, 4 cans of Stella (8.4) and 4 bottles of Wychwood Firecracker (7.2) = 15.6.
Saturday: 3 bottles of Firecracker (5.4) and 2 bottles of Wizard something-or-other (3.8 - it was 3.7%). The Wizard stuff wasn't an immediate favourite, and I've actually left a third bottle of it in the fridge. Makes for a new record low for the week (provided I leave that bottle in the fridge alone): 24.7 units ![]() |

Rare visit to a Morrisons this week so did a bit more experimenting... got two bottles of Marston's EPA (1.8 units a bottle). Meh - found it a bit sharp, with a hint of vinegar in the background, but didn't have the depth of flavour to make up for lack of kick. Also got 10x250 bottles of Morrisons Biere de Flandres!! Christ, think the last time I had this stuff was up in the woods with a couple of mates when we were 13/14 or something. Actually has quite a pleasant smell, but nearly nil depth and flavour, bar a slight hint of burnt something as an aftertaste. Would be as well giving own-brand supermarket 2% stuff a crack versus this stuff tbh. It's amazing really that there are so few beers never mind lagers below 4%. Anyway:
Friday: 4 pints Stella at pub (10.8), 2 bottles Marton's EPA (3.6), 4 stubby bottles of Biere de Flandres (2.8) = 17.2 Saturday: Bottle of Fire Cracker (1.8), bottle of Wizard left over from last weekend (1.9), 4 stubbies (2.8) = 6.5 Total for the week: 23.7 units ![]() |

Drank a bit more than my rations permitted on Friday, and didn't have the will power yesterday not to top up with a couple more bottles.
Friday: Four pints (10.8) Four bottles of Fire Cracker (7.2) Two stubbies left over from last weekend (1.4) = 19.4 Saturday: Five bottles of Fire Cracker (9) Total for the week: 28.4 units |

Coachbuster, you can come around and sort my trash if you like. All rubbish outside please!
all this 14 units seems a load of nonsense unless you've cut down after years of heavy drinking Your doctor might disagree if you've got liver damage. |

I have a large bin which i dispense boxes ,cartons milk bottles ...that's 90% of all waste by volume .
food items i stick in a covered bowl and take into the garden ... bottles i recycle anyway ...and non recycle stuff i put to one side in a small air tight lifty carton and then each day empty into that a small bin outside the door ...simples . no bin smells ever in the kitchen ...and the main wheely bins never smell either . I tend to look down at folk in the street who don't recycle as being a bit slummy and anti social ... and i'm not far off the mark either with that observation |

Units of alcohol ..if youve been a heavy drinker for years its worthwhile getting a check obviously ...but as for steady 25 unit a week drinkers there are no risks any more than someone who drinks 0 .
14 is around the optimum level from a health pov imo |

put smelly food scrap into a hole in the ground to further avoid the smell .
You've got to be joking! Although I suppose it finds your missus something to do when it's peeing down with rain. |

Goes without saying that weekly scores on the doors are off for December, but while I'm still vaguely sober: got some bottles of Ruddles Best Country Ale in Asda this arvo (£1.02 a bottle) having emptied the shelves of Fire Cracker yesterday. 3.7% so only 1.9 units a 500ml bottle, but a nice, light malty flavour. If you were eight bottles in already, you wouldn't really know the difference between this and a Speckled Hen. Decent drop for the price and ABV.
Merry Christmas. Hic. Etc. Hic. |

Oh, have also tried out Bank's Bitter the past couple of weekends, as it's only 3.8% (and a princely quid a bottle).
I'm not much of a bitter drinker so I'm not sure... is bitter meant to have no taste? Weirdly more-ish all the same - goes down all-too easy (matron). |
