> Carling with a dash of lime juice



His Lordship is a big Scouse bloke but loves a pint of Carling with "quite a lot of lime" cordial though, not juice (he thinks it's a bit girly but no-one is ever going to say it to his face)....

Genuinely don't and have never liked Stella, it tastes of.....matter...


I guess if I'm on the gary lager for the night it has to be refreshing yet inoffensive. Heineken is about right.

Whatever happened to Oranjeboom as the lager du jour, or should that be pils van de dag.


Craftier lagers can be nice too.

even Stella doesn't have the old strength it used to, so even less reason to have it


I see Oranjeboom in cans a fair bit down here in Sussex but as rahrahrah says, it does taste much of a muchness with the rest


I can't even drink my formerly-beloved red stripe any more

For my part I've just never really got on withr real ale. I don't like lager too gassy but I do like some fizz and I like it cold. Real ale just makes me feel a bit sick.


And I'm not putting it down, to each their own. Just wish that those who think you're sone sort of thug if you drink lager (rather that wine, cider or real ale) would be as tolerant of other people's tastes.




As I said before, Heineken does it for me. Nice and crisp.

Micky Flanagan routine...


when he goes to the offy to buy 4 cans of Stella Artoris he gets a worried look from the lady in the shop and she says : "oh dear love, would you like one of our leaflets....."


Also when he walks down the road drinking a can of SA - he finds he's given lots of space.


Would never happen to a real ale drinker. Maybe Quids knows different.

I'm famous for my Stella Artois consumption at home. Outside, where I pay a premium, I'd rather drink something better, and normally cheaper too. I spent twenty years largely scoffing 'premuium' lagers in pubs at a way above doctors guideline volumes, the massive, and crucially widespread, improvement in the availibility of well kept ales in pubs over the last 5 years or so and some interesting craft beer (yes including lagers)plus the fact I don't go on pub benders anymore has put me back on what's a much nicer tasting product.
I think one of the reasons I've got on with the whole "craft" beer thing is that the American style ales are a lot more flavoursome than most lagers, but still keg (i.e. chilled and carbonated) so just as refreshing as a lager. I'd probably choose a light real ale over a crap generic lager.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
