Good lord! You went to a public house full of old man farts and drank the dishwater beer you disdain so much?Quote:

It was rather nice, actually. Now I feel quite dreadfully sleepy, though.Quote:

I'm going to make fried chicken. With the boiling oil and that.Quote:

Doom Bar is an appalling pint - I would have hoped that with your newfound ability to taste that you might have realised that.Quote:

Six pints? At lunchtime? Is the world about to end?Quote:

It is a decent pint. Doom Bar's OK. Bit on the thin side, but Sir C is a recuperating invalid.Quote:

I can't say I wasn't a tad concerned for his unnatural absence which did set the mind wandering as to whether any particular fate had befallen him
Did you think the nose cancer had got him, s?Quote:

The title of this thread did little to allay my fear for the great man
The consumption of 6 pints of Doom Bar ...uh oh... He's flown into a panic - all leave of senses gone etc.
My local is a small Young's pub so the real ale is limited. Three only. Either Young's Ordinary or Harvey's Best is almost always one of them with Doom Bar :puke: the other. Then there is the rotating guest ale which can be TEA, Shere Drop or a few others.Quote:

And Doom Bar is fine. :nono: Stop being an insufferable snob.
Ah, a. Look at this re: driverless cars. Turns out they're racist. :hehe:Quote:

They cited human error by drivers, but humans make the bloody software too.
