CrystalClear only mentioned tops as a dig at me...


What he doesn't mention is that 1. I regularly outdrink him, even if I am a "pussy boy" (not saying that's a good thing, or that it makes me hard, but if he will question my manhood), and 2. he himself has partaken of several tops in the last couple of weeks because he can't handle a hangover! ;-)


Never knew that dash meant cordial.

Ah, but that is merely the name of the brewery. Which of their beers were you drinking?


My girlfriend used to run an amazing pub in Surrey that sold a huge range of imported European and worldwide beers as well as micr-brewing it's own ales. Fantastic stuff. Due to which I am now somewhat of a beer geek and turn my nose up at most lagers. The stuff that the large brewery's knock-out is, IMHO, piss. German purity laws improve matters for their beers but some of the best stuff makes Fosters taste like Australian sheep dip.


My list would have one or two from each category of beer:


Ale - Harveys (from the Sussex brewery) is excellent and having gone to uni in Leeds I'm rather partial to a pint of Black Sheep. The EDT doesn't keep it very well though so i's not always a good pint there. Coopers of Australia do a great sparkling ale in a bottle (which you can amazingly get in Sainsburys) and Progress from the Pilgrim brewery in Surrey is par excellence!


Stout - Quintine 'Hercule' stout from Belgium and Kilkenny Black.


Lager - Chouffe (made by gnomes!) on draft and Triple Karmeliet from bottles


Weiss - Reigle Weiss...let me know if you ever find it in this country. I've only seen it in one place.

I can't be certain David but I'm pretty sure I had a pint of that or something sounding very similar in the Dog in Dulwich Village on Saturday afternoon and bloody splendid it was too. It was on draught by the way.

Weiss merely means "white" as in wheat beer and can be used by lots of different breweries. Hoegaarden (spit) is a weiss beer of sorts and I believe Kronenber (spit, spit) even do a white beer now. Would still be interested to know what beers the Dog and the Plough are doing though. Don't often venture down there or across there often enough.

    • So important to give them the best chance. You can buy bells on Amazon I’ve bought the cheap collars on amazon and find they fray quickly and aren’t great quality. The bells don’t really make a noise either. I’ve also bought a posh one from Pets Couture and it’s absolutely beautiful, got a proper bell and still looks like new after nearly a whole year! Definitely worth the money  
    • I completely agree. A cat with a bell comes into my garden and sits patiently beneath the bird feeders. Sometimes I hear the bell first and can chase him out before he gets there, and hopefully birds can also hear the bell (but only when he's actually moving). This has got worse since prickly rambling rose stems were removed from fences at the back of the garden. I'm looking at what cat deterrents I can put there. You have probably done this already, but if not you might want to look at ways you can try to stop the cats getting into your garden  in the first place? It's very difficult. I love both cats and birds, but  as you say, cats will be cats.
