Some 'Friends' have been posting glitter to me because its 'funny'. I have explained how its not even faintly amusing and a complete waste of everyones time, but they seem to think that makes it funnier. At last somebody has worked out that posting useful stuff is a much better idea.

Old peculier.
That brings back memories.
i was a member of the usenet group "uk.local.yorkshire".
We had "meetings" (drinking sessions) several times a year, and always seemed to end up in the Duck+Drake in Leeds.
Old Peculier on draught.
The first time we went, we emptied 2 barrels - basically what he sold in a month - in one afternoon.
Subsequently, I always went in to warn him to expect us, so he could put a bulk order in.

It's sort of like strong guinness, but without the bloating effect, which makes it easy to drink 12 or 15 pints without realising.
It's really the only beer that I like - and only from the D&D. Most other pubs: it's not so good.

We're having a trip to Mainsgill Farm Shop on the A66 just west of Scotch Corner at some point this coming weekend for something tasty for Christmas dinner.

I'm hoping they have a good selection of Yorkshire ale to peruse as I quite fancy some Old Peculier. Me and our kid always used to get a 5 gallon barrel of Timothy Taylor's Landlord at Christmas so a few bottles of that wouldn't go amiss either. Not sure if Websters is still around, I think Sam Smiths brew it at Tadcaster .

No idea. I've never really drunk "beer".
Spirits and/or cider for me.

If you're going to scotch corner, it's only an extra 30minutes to Masham (theakston's brewery).

Next one

Transtig 2600.
Just need it for spares.

 

[Jan-DIY]

Comes with an other machine.
It’s a grinder for Tig electrodes.
Needs new spares but was cheap.

I had a session on that Old Peculiar 30 odd years ago and I ended up walking like Bambi.

Well a couple of months ago a Higo no kami knife, but I did make a post about it then but without a pic, so here's the pic...

I'm quite impressed.

Mainly that anyone could remember what they did a couple of months ago .

The beer on the left.
Named after you?

Don't knock it, it's lovely stuff. In fact I have a bottle in the larder, but not tonight...

It's quite a bit stronger than that Shipstones tosh that abounds in your neck of the woods, but I'd wager a pint of Batemans XXXB against it .

That brings back many happy memories of fishing weekends in and around Wainfleet .

BS Postcode.

It was south of Bristol, so it can't be that one.

Today I acquired a hgv g brake tester complete with printer, save going on the rollers during the year and it’s vosa approved.

Virtually unused, will need new batteries and calibration.

Can you do it with the truck empty or do you need a load on it? My mate said something the other day about taking one of their trucks for a brake test with concrete blocks on the back?
