Those stoppers have a new lease of life round here since the real ale pubs have opened to sell takeaway beer. I take down my (cleaned out) 5 litre kegs, fill them with ale and use those stoppers in the top to extend the shelf life.

Me neither, but my wife's brother says it's very much an acquired taste - as in one you acquire when you just want to get slaughtered asap and don't care what your head and guts feel like tomorrow.

Last Christmas I publicly renounced my Scottish upbringing until my sister pointed out that I had Buckfast and Tennents Super in the cabinet and we were eating deep fried pizza.

Yup, that's why supermarkets sell those really small pizzas, the ones about 6"-7" diameter. Just dip them in batter and hoy them into the deep frier.

Baron’s War Kickstarter finished at £60k from a £6k target, an excellent result for a small business and my Christmas present guaranteed.

But that’s it. As the lead pile thread shows, I’ve got more than enough to last ...........OMG! :o Have you seen those new Claymore Castings mounted HYW?!! :thumbs:
