Le Weekend :

[gyro]

Started well, with Shepherd Neames Spitfire at a pound a bottle.
Got better with a visit to Sainsburys, which yielded a couple of Badger Hopping Hares, and then a very nice Buttcombes Gold Bitter, followed by an extremely palatable Dr Orkells India Pale Ale.

Currently enjoying the fabulous J W Lees Moonraker with a nice solid cheddar.

ps. wife and kids are ok too.

This is a liquid weekend then?

[gyro]

What other kind is there ?

[BigIain]

Well done Gyro

As far as I am aware you have become the first person to post the same OP on the two sites. Saddo.

[bazfaz]

Is it possible that Gyro is making up these names?

[gyro]

Iain, I've done it more than once before now, seeing as how it's nice to get replies from both sides. Deliberate, seeing as how I use both. Not a complicated or strange thought process, I wouldn't have thought .....

And no, Baz, all the ales mentioned in the OP are real.

[bazfaz]

There is a French wine (a Burgundy I think) called Pisse-Dru. I am waiting for an opportunity to give it to our niece's husband who is called Dru.

[Don Cuevas]

Is there still a brand of French sodas (soft drinks) called "Pschitt!"

[Deleted]

Yes, it still exists.
