I guess so. Still 3 more caps and he's got his century and then he can bog off LA LA Land with stick insect wife and stay there for all I care.

I got stung by a bee yesterday. ?20 for a jar of honey. Outrageous.

Yuk!

Beckham quite clearly wasn't fit enough and why McLaren kept him on for the full 90mins is beyond me. Maybe he thought, oh well, he's flown all the was over here from the La La Land so I might as well give him a game. Could have played Shaun Wright-Phillips there, especially seeing that he is playing so well at the moment and in the Chelsea side. Hurry back Aaron Lennon.

I'd say the Dog because I've certainly drunk Laphroig, Oban and one or two others in there in the past. And, because it's the same owners The Plough probably has the same stock.

Nice one Ted, I'd completely forgotton about Oban. Gorgeous stuff.

Echoed CitizenEd.

Well, to be honest he didn't have much to do did he. I just hope Robinson doesn't take that awful first half display into Spurs next game at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Brendan Wrote: Punk was 20 years ago > wasn?t it?? > > Which is was in Britain. Excellent post Brendan, very informative and researched but with one small error, 30 years ago or 31 if you like, maybe 32 years ago but let's not split hairs. So are you a music journalist or just a rabid music fan like me.

Once again England weren't good enough against the Germans. That's five or six we've lost on the trot at home. Robinson made an appalling error to gift the Germans a goal which changed the whole complexion of the game. All the other British sides won and performed pretty well. Team of the night though has got to be the Republic of Ireland. To win 4-0 in Denmark is a fantastic achievement. Wish I'd been able to watch that instead.

Ahem! It's all in the spelling, Whisky being Scottish and Whiskey being from anywhere else. A Scottish Malt Whisky is completely different in taste and texture as well to things like Bushmills, Black Bush, Paddy or sour mash whiskey/bourbon whiskey. And if you look at Mamora Man's original posting he only mentions the Scottish ones and also only uses the Scottish spelling, without an E. So there you go.

Irie, dreadeye!

As someone who actually saw the Clash first time round you could say that they certainly progressed musically but they borrowed from everywhere, like all good bands do, but I'd hardly say they were shape-shifters. Sure they influenced a lot of people, but it's unfortunate they are directly responsible for The Alarm (cringes) and all those shitty American bands like Green Day and Blink 182 who think they're a bit punky but only seemed to have listened to the first album. Also, if you think the Libertines albums sound a bit like the early Clash it's because they're produced by Mick Jones.

When you lounged this you lost my post so I'm going to have to rewrite the damned thing again!!!! Grrr! Anyway Mr Scary Neck introduced himself to me a few Sundays back when I was sitting outside the Drum having a drink and a fag and he saunters over with his equally smacked out girlfriend, he's swigging from a bottle of wine and tries to sell me some packaged meats from a big blue recycling bag. He actually says to me that "it's not nicked mate, honest." I politely told him that I wasn't interested and he gives me the big stare like he's gonna chiv me. When I gave him the big stare back and told him to be on his way he finally left me alone to go and bother someone else outside the Palmerston. Arsehole!

Oh, that'd be nice. I used to go and see them quite a lot back in the 90s. Met 'em backstage a couple times, really lovely blokes too.

Last night I put on Songs From Northern Britain by Teenage Fanclub, which I hadn't played for a while. Excellent!

Well, without wanting to sound pedantic if you look at the title of the thread it says "Malt Whiskies". That's whisky, and malt whisky at that, not whiskey, huge difference.

Well it certainly used to be but perhaps that has changed recently. I remember under the previous management a few years back they used to have creche out in the back garden. A girl used to supervise the children while the parents were drinking. There was a climbing frame for the kids to play on, maybe that's all gone now. Been a while since I've been up there.

Now we're talking. Agree with Sean, Laphroig with it's peat & smoke is just pure heaven, although I'm sure there are numerous Islay Malts that I have yet to taste that are it's equal. Also enjoy the occasional Balvennie and Glenmorangie.

I don't really watch much telly but you've made this sound very watchable. What channel is it on?
