The beer debate clearly has a long way to run - possibly in a new thread, but as some of us have work in the morning I will bid you adieu!

Talking of real ale, my eldest lad came in some time ago cuddling a bottle with the label hidden. He got me to try a bit, and it was really nice (I like real ales!!!). When I asked what it was he showed me the label.

Straight up, it was called 'The Dogs Bollocks'

Nearly as good as Old Git wine. I label mine 'Shattered Smith', it works for me!

Everards do a Christmas ale called Rudolphs P*ss (tastes alright though)

Looks like I missed a good thread by going to bed at a reasonable time last night. Hope you all had fun

Yeah, and why can't women park? Because men are always telling us that this (holds out little finger) is 8 inches!

at my allotment there no one but me and the chooks and ducks, have to bribe bob to help.
I'm trying to put very square beds in, lots of streight lines, I am also doing a kidney shaped pond in the other half. supose its just what works best for what you need, some curves and streights in the garden too.

So what's the proper term for a hetero male who appreciates curvy things?[/quote]

Normal?

Very funny Kirsty.

The point I was making was made after 2Sheds said that women appreciate curves and men appreciate straight lines.

I, as a hetero male, was asking where that leaves me because I like circles, curves in art, design etc.....

O **** I'll shut up.

Johnty,

I was in one of those moods last night and couldn't help myself! I do like reading your posts when you've had a couple of sherberts!

Sorry
