      Six months of that and you might avoid tax, or something along those lines.

          I had a pint and a pizza chez Lukas Podolski, as it were, today.

          Pretty excellent. He's a great man.

                      Some decades ago when I was skint, on the dole and squatting, someone showed me these cheap Turkish pizzas you could get in the kebabies. About two quid.

                      Anyone know what I'm talking about?

                        That's what I had, the Lahmacun. They fill it up with meat and salad and all the fixings and then roll it up in foil.

                        Costs about twice as much as a doner nowadays.

                            That's the bugger. Though it was much cheaper than a kebab back in the '90s. That's why I could afford one back then. Other than that once in a blue moon, I only ate at greasy spoons. The one on the corner of Mare St and Brenthouse Rd.

                              For me, the kebab (or indeed some kind of pizza from a kebab shop) is one of the stages of post beer recovery.

                              Step one - Finish drinking, leave the pub
                              Step two - Go outside, get some fresh air and assess whether it is worth walking from the pub or if an Uber is needed (depending on distance and how drunk I am.
                              Step three - Stop for food on the way back, stodgier the better.
                              Step four - Get home, drink a pint of water.
                              Step five - Go to sleep.

                              The idea of adding a beer into step three doesn't make sense to me.
