Shamefully knicked from another forum...... Best current investment advice If you had purchased ?1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago they would now be worth ?4.95. With HBOS, earlier last week, your ?1000 would have been worth ?16.50. ?1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than ?5. But, if you had bought ?1000 worth of canned Beer one year ago, drunk it all, then taken the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would now get ?214. So, based on the above statistics, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle. Right...I'm off to Aldi's

Real Ale isn't to everyone's taste and it was only in recent years (around 1989) when I was weened off lager. Down here it is was Carling Black Label which is all over the place now. We also have the rancid Brew XI. Other poor one's in my distant past would include icons such as Watney's Red Barrel and Worthington E. Real Ale showed me the way forward. There are thousands of differant ale's out there, some weak, some very strong. I know most folk enjoy their Tennants et al but its worth trying a differant real ale now again. A good barman will let you have a wee taste of an ale before you commit yourself to something you don't like. If he doesn't allow you a sample then take your money elsewhere. Best one's for me are Caledonian Deuchars IPA, Orkney Dark Island, Cairngorm Trade Winds, Skye Red Cuillin and Fullers London Pride. And the worst...any 'nitro keg' such as the cream flow and cold beers. Youngers Tartan is also vomit inducing to me. I always cringe when folk ask for Stella. Don't get me wrong here, I used to drink this stuff when it was imported. Unfortunately it became so popular that they started to brew it in England......in Luton FFS. It doesn't taste the same anymore, honestly. With referance to a cold beer in hot weather then I like nothing better than cooling pint of Cider.

Aye, happy birthday Don. Enjoy whats left of your day.

That's ok, don't need my knees to type... Got lucky yesterday as i fancied QoS v Livvy for the draw. Took the other 'Queen' instead and they did the biz with five minutes to go. :thumb04:

"You're right, the ground is definately not buzzing"

Not as good as they used to be and where the heck has the Bertie Bassett one disappeared to. Darn disgrace I say.

Nice work, you are on fire at the minute. Don't worry JK, it won't last.....

Queen Of South v St Johnstone the Draw at a big fat 3.40 please.

Shamefully stolen from my works forum.....just thought I'd share the laugh... A campaign started today to stop irresponsible advertising in the field of plastic surgery ,where companies are offering financial incentives or using digitally enhanced pictures that lift customers expectations. Surgery such as "Lunchtime Facelifts" and breast augmentation are attacked as adverts offer "anatomically impossible" goals. A serious and important issue. Alas I may have taken the piece a little more seriously had the conference not been held by British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons(BAAPS)

Whats this all about? Naps competition. (New entries now closed by the way - I think)

Well he's more colourful than those rancid looking scabby budgies that are there from time to time And the 'fake' one man band!

Don't think it is. Anyway, last time I went past the place it was closed. Not sure if that's a permanent 'closed' or a 'couldn't be ersed' closed. Not been in there myself as it doesn't sell any beer.

Interesting Scotty, what happened? We've used FlyBe many times between B'ham and Glasgow / Edinburgh and never had a problem.
