I've heard some critical descriptions of beer but "Slash IPA" sounds as bad as it gets.

Now I need a p.....

Two for the price of one:-
At this point I don't know which is worse weighing myself or taking a Lateral Flow test

Having now lived through an actual plague I full understand why Italian renaissance paintings are so full of fat naked people laying around on couches

I had a giggle the other day in Tesco when I saw a label stating a product was a ‘vegetarian burger‘.
Why call it a burger? Is there any more prominent symbol of all that is wrong with the meat industry than a burger?
Surely that moniker should put off more customers than it attracts!

Veggie burgers have been around since long before Veggie/veganism went viral. They have a sound history. And anyway, what is there in the word 'burger' that suggests meat? And it's never put us off! IIRC, a veggie burger is mentioned (albeit disparagingly) in Evelyn Waugh's novel The Loved One (1948).

Same with sausages (pace the French meat industry which tried to get the terminology banned). We often make our own Glamorgan Sausages (made from leeks, cheese* and breadcrumbs) which have been vegetarian for yonks - I wouldn't be surprised if they go back to the days of Owain Glyndŵr or even earlier...

*The recipe says Caerphilly but that's far too expensive, so we use Wensleydale. Sorry about the non-Welsh content!

Just before Christmas, I was given a part barrel of Dartmoor Jail Ale and we put it on the top of the cupboard in the porch to let it re-settle. A few days later, it had cleared ok-ish and tasted ok-ish. Left it a day of two more. Not much difference.

Poured a part glass yesterday afternoon, and it smelled vinegar-y so this morning I took it outside on the drive and opened the tap to let it run away.

When the rain stopped for an hour, I managed to take the dog a walk ............ and called in at the Rising Sun Inn.
Guess what?

They are completely out of Dartmoor Jail Ale!
Ironic or what?

That's a shame you poured it away Mick, you could have done some porridge with it.

Lunch time today the wife shouts out to the garage where I'm futterin with an old motorbike.

"There's beef wraps done here come on in now while they're still warm"

And to add a little more incentive " We've done them in the George -- ahh what do you call it -- aye -- Formby grill."

I shouted back "Aye they'll turn out nice again "

Don't know if it was wasted on her or not.

I remarked on how the younger generation keeps us amused,MrsR2 said "at least it'll grow out"
