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. Happy

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 Happy

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 Happy

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

Id be surprised if any pee head was civil minded enough to sort his rubbish into separate bins.All my rubbish goes in the wheelie bin, if they want it sorted they can sort it themselves and use the money I pay in council tax.


Crippen , you're a strange one ...first it makes sense for you to have 2 seperate bins at home ,one for dirty unrecyclable and one bin for clean recyclable so the big bin (indoors) doesn't smell to holy hell  and leave the 'smelly' bin outside the door . put smelly food scrap into a hole in the ground to further avoid the smell .

secondly ..re drinkers and life years etc ...  people who get to an old age don't usually have 6 or 7 years of serious health problems before they die ,most of them don't have that many health issues  ...it's those who die younger who are more likely to have x years of bad health . 

on the units note generally i'd say 25 over the long term is safe enough  ...all this 14 units seems a load of nonsense unless you've cut down after years of heavy drinking   ..then it might make sense

Coachbuster,  you can come around and sort my trash if you like.  All rubbish outside please!

Your doctor might disagree if you've got liver damage.

it's not a case of 'sorting' out trash   ...you only have to bin trash once  ffs  lol  ...you just need TWO seperate bins

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 Happy ...  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

You've got to be joking!

there are very few cases of anyone who has a health problem from that low lifetime level  ...you generally  wouldn't live long enough   ...similarly anyone who smokes 2 cigs a day . 

obv there are cases of teetotal folk  who are unlucky to inherit the rogue genes

what's so weird about a hole in the ground for food waste  ..it actually does wonders for the soil  ...and it hardly rains  in this part of the world  ...

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).
