Wonder what the next down-sizing will be? .... ultra small toilet cubicles (that'll charge a pound a pee)?

They have let me out again for a couple of months as long as I am good!!!!

Stan, Survivor, I will e-mail you later.

Keep out of trouble.

hopefully can make the 'meeting' after that ....

Doubt it. Don't think his rail pass was valid on Eurostar. Probably stuck on a rail replacement bus down some country lane ....

The CAMRA Nantwich Beer Festival opens at 5pm at Nantwich Civic Hall on Friday 25 September.....

http://www.nantwichfoodfestival.co.uk/beerfestival.htm

There will be around 70 beers and ciders available. As in previous years, all the Cheshire breweries will be represented and there will also be beers from the surrounding areas

Afraid not, bit to much on at the moment, always some reason or another why I seem to miss Nantwich. Real shame as it's a "Food" Fest. as well.,, oh well one day.

Wonder if The Wellington will end up stocking this:

Well if they do it can stay on the shelf as far as I'm concerned.. publicity stunt and nothing else as far as I'm concerned.

Fot the interested few.

Next meeting of ailing alers is at:

A few of us old mild and bitters are meeting up for a beer and a Chat at 1pm Friday 4th December 2009 at:

"Tap and Spile"
Gas Street,
BIRMINGHAM,
B1 2JT
Tel (0121) 632 5602

It is in the basin opposite Symphony Hall in Bridge Street and faces
onto the James Brindley pub.

It has a multiple of ales etc.

Anybody wishing to join us please bring your own grumbles and glasses.

PS.

Look for a table with three elderly gentlemen with bowler hats and one smartly dressed fellow in a white coat which he nicked before leaving the "home".

For those who don't recognise the Pub or its name:-

Fred you got a sofa.....cause i'd be pissed on half real ale, can't drive back down bristol way like that..lol

Baler,

I am sorry, I am sleeping on the sofa. Said something wrong to my wife.
I was asked a difficult question, which I didn't understand, and said "yes" when the requested response should have been "no".

I don't think you are serious about coming, but in case I misread you and you don't know Birmingham, consider train.

The train station is central and is within easy walking distance of the pub. The latter is central.

Thank you fred, but your right, can't make it this time. You should have taken the 5th amendment.... and kept her guessing. BB

>Fot the interested few

too few too mention ....

.... perhaps everyone else has lost their shirt or their lifetime rail pass?

.... we can be recognised in the bar by the crutches, white stick and Borders Bookshop bag ....

Good to meet up again, trust everyone got home in one piece.

S87, re 1298.

As a brewer, I would be interested to know what they put in the mash to achieve this. Or maybe I don't want to know. On the other hand the high figure might be obtained by ********** which could be distinctly *******.

Curious though, nevertheless.

.... next time we'll have to appoint a Chairman to keep us on track and ensure that we actually get round to financial matters .... hope no one ended up sleeping on the sofa .... the Greene King IPA was nice and smooth - first time I'd tried it - woke up next morning feeling normal ... see EXPN closed > 600 ....

.... meanwhile, back to eyes...
now a new technique has come on the market which promises not only to restore our sight but also to make it better than before and get us seeing in high definition.
