> 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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
