OT : Beer down.....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/cumbria/7122568.stm

Bought tears to my eyes. The horror .......

 

Northbound on the M6? It's probably some foul industrial piss intended for
consumption by Sweaties. They may need to resurface the carriageway.

 

By the time I'd heard about it, it was already too late for salvage
operations. Sorry.

 

Sucking his keyboard for inspiration, Brownz (Mobile) typed:

"Beer can spillage closes motorway"

I thought for a moment it was a story about the loss of some cured pig meat
in Jamaica.

Coat/hat/gone

 

It's in cans, it's bound to be shite beer.

 

do you think this story may be related?

Livingston is one of S&N's main distribution centres. I hate to think what
state the road is in if the lorry was carrying cider from their Bulmers
subsidiary.

 

Driver from Livingston, makes sense.

Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
river cleaned out in a day.

 

There are some perfectly drinkable canned beers on the market now. Most
British ales that come in a bottle are brewery conditioned, just like keg
beer. Some of them [1] are available in cans and don't seem to be any
different to their bottled counterpart.

[1] I'll quite happily buy canned versions of Old Speckled Hen and
Tanglefoot, for example.

 

I'm not convinced. I think you should load the bike up with a large
selection and bring them over here.

If I have beer at home it tends to be stuff that is still doing
things.

I just shook my bottle of white horse, that was a bit silly, I'll have
to have wine now instead.

<shudder>

I think the 3 visits to the Brunswick in the last 10 days have upped
my beer expectations.

 

A good 25 miles distant from each other, so no.

Nice to see people taking an interest in the area, though.

 

Keg? KEG???

Cask, my dear fellow.

Unless you like your beer fizzy.

 

Bottled beer is more like keg beer than cask ale, from a dissolved CO2
perspective.

Even bottle conditioned beers have a great deal of fizz as the dissolved
CO2 cannot escape, like it does in the cask conditioned counterpart.

 

I liked: "Cumbria Police said it was fortunate that no trains were on the
track at the time."

As if a Rover would have done much damage to a train!

 

Especially tanglefoot. There's little if anything to differentiate
between bottle and can in my experience.

Cans with Widgets OTOH, devil's work.

 

Short memory, then ?

 

Most passenger trains on that line are two-car class 153 arrangements.
It does carry larger cargo trains (usually coal and petroleum products
- it happened about 200m from a BP regional depot), however, and
occasionally traffic bound for BNFL Sellafield. I doubt she was a
terrorist.

 

Frothy.

 

That stuff always gives me a raging headache long before I'm pissed.

Well, my point was that saying that 'it's OK, it's just like keg beer'
isn't much of a recommendation.

I'm just too subtle. That's it. Definitely.
