6 litres of spitfire

<buuurrrrrp>

Spitfire, of all beers, should never, ever, under any circumstances be
referred to in any other measure than a full Imperial pint.

Ever.

Do I make myself clear?

12.68026 pints.

 

Pity it comes in 500ml bottles.

I bet you've spilt more than 3/4 pint tonight anyway. Call it a bakers
dozen ;-)

Quite so.

Much as I like jugs, they're not really a measure, are they?

Some jugs are large, some are small. Most are far away...

wisdom:

I've had a few. Shame I won't be spending the night with a beautiful
woman that loves me, mind.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Ferger amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

"Flange"

 

I'm not bothered whether she loves me mind, just so long as she loves me body
from time to time.

 

At least the head doesn't spill over the edge of a 20oz glass when you
pour it in.

Small consolation for a small pint really.

Is it Mick Whittingham who quotes shakespeare in his .sig?

"I shall make it a felony to drink small beer."

 

It's metrification by the back door tell you.

Proper annoys me it does.

Remember when you got "13.5% extra free" on top of your standard 440ml
can?

That was when the rot set in.

 

Where WC's concerned, "foaming jacks" might be more appropriate...

That is not what is meant by "small beer".

I know, but it just seemed appropriate to the moment.

Here's to the man who drinks small beer,
And goes to bed quite sober,
Here's to the man who drinks small beer,
And goes to bed quite sober,
He fades as the leaves do fade,
He fades as the leaves do fade,
He fades as the leaves do fade,
And drops off in October
