    While I'm extracting that hook I'll expand it's the British mass produced
    lager that seems especially 'orrible. Carling, Tennants et all. Sure on a
    hot day served ice cold it has some effect but Pellegrino served at the same
    temp would too.

    The mass produced bitter you get in UK pubs, particularly in Scotland and
    Ireland, is even more insipid. And nothing is more likely to make me throw
    up than bottles of Dog.

    My last place the tie in was with shell, I checked out changing
    suppliers and shell wanted £400 iirc to remove their tank and then it
    would have been similar for another to be installed. The icing on the
    cake is they charge you rent for the tank.

  4. Well yes, but we were talking, specifically, about Mexican beer.
    Indeed - but if I was in Blighty, I wouldn't be having a hot day in a
    hot place.
    I wouldn't know, I went straight from Stella as a juvenile to Caffreys
    and Kilkenny and then on to proper European beers.

    Admittedly, I'll drink a Heineken, Grolsch or Hertog Jan if I'm out
    over here and can't get a better beer.

    Heineken seems like the worst sort of shite to my palate but of course some
    EU countries make some light beers we might call lager which are fine.

    I'm thinking Furstenberg. The cause of many a "problem".

    Because you can't push it in until you've drunk some.

    Absolutely. I remember around the beginning of the 80s when Red Stripe
    first appeared in the UK it was really nice, then it got popular enough
    that they started making it in the UK and suddenly it had that disgusting
    British lager taste like all the others.

    Try it. The beer pops out all over the place. And since you were doing
    the pushing with your little finger (the only one that fits down the neck
    of the bottle) you now have beer all the way to your elbow, and you'll
    need to wash your shirt. This is why they wear teeshirts in Mexico.

  11. Done it many times. If you really insist, I'll do it tonight and film
    it. Although I don't have Mexican beer, or any beer in a clear bottle,
    so it will leave open to claims of slight of hand etc. Tell you what,
    *you* try it isntead.
    We're talking about a wedge of lime, not a piece of lead.

    I was wearing a guayabera[1], maybe that's what made the difference?


    [1] this might be a minor embellishment of the truth.

    Mobile gas is a necessity when part of your heating system is mobile and
    *needs* to be mobile.

    Blanket statements aren't always right and they're definitely not the best
    way to show how intelligent your thought processes are.

    I recently had reason to go back where I was brought up and it's still all
    fields.

    That *really* was quite a surprise, as I expected it to have been built
    up/over years ago.

    Have you tried squeezing a 47Kg bottle into a Superser, sir?

    After half an hour, you don't even want to turn the fucking heater on.
