Clear as a bell, gloriously effervescent, crisp and delicious.
A couple of hours later I suffered a thunderous (albeit thankfully short-lived) bout of gastric unpleasantness.
I do not know if these two events are related. :-(

I think you do, b, don't you? Even the most sanitised cider is going to mess with your gizzards. Cider produced under the auspices of your somewhat dubious concept of cleanliness is liable to give most human beings dysentery. :-(Quote:

Have another 2 pints and see what happens :shrug:Quote:

Well I will NOT be told what size drink I can and cannot have. I had a Guinness instead. **** them.
There you go. Anything with the power to disturb your embalmed intestinal tract must have extremely dangerous juju.Quote:

A third empty glass imoQuote:

On the wall it says 'we do not sell Fosters'.
It is the only pub in the town centre that isnt either violent or drowned in appalling music. I have to go in there :(
You're going to fly 800 miles in order to watch us lose and get booed off the pitch as we finish the season 7th?Quote:

That is the ultimate in loyal support
Burnley's problem, imo. We'll be back in the European Cup.Quote:

We will only manage to avoid the Europa League if Burnley finish above us AND Southampton win the Cup
In short - more of the same fixture disruption next season
ty vpv. I watch every game anyway - might as well give my liver a rest by going to the stadium once in a whileQuote:

Well, yes...as evidence elsewhere in the thread. It is, I believe, a 'hipster' pub.Quote:
