Makes a change for the septic tanks though. Their beer has usually been made from what they have carefully extracted from the bladders of countless gnats.
If Carlsberg made beer in the U.S. it would be renamed Girlsberg.
The reason that Australians drink their beer ice cold is because it's shite and you can't taste it when it's almost a frozen block of lager!
On my last trip to the US we took some customers to a brewery tap and most of the beers were porters and started at about 7 1/2%.AbsolutelyTrue but the American idea of beer is Budweiser, so pretty much anything is an improvement
A few years ago when I house sat my mates place in Houston, the Pub round the corner called the Shakespeare is a craft beer place and has a huge horseshoe shaped bar with about 30 different draught craft beers. It would have been rude not to have tried them all!
Whatever you buy make sure its DAB radio. It made the old radio we used to listen to redundant several years ago, but many people havent realised yet.
My Jag has DAB. I tried it for one commute, decided it was utter sh1te and went back to FM.
Absolute classic rock. Planet rock. something or other classic 70,s.....etc. I find it pretty good.
There is even a Gaydio station for those of that persuasion. I think theres something for everyone on there.
Oh and theres GB News live.

Mostquite a lot of drives of all makes drive like idiots nowadays, because there is nothing to keep them in check. They can drive in the most appalling manner without any fear of being pulled up by the law, they know where the speed cameras are and most of them don't work anyway. It's a free for all, and most people expect, and even make allowances for, other drivers pulling out, overtaking dangerously, speeding and generally not following the rules of the road.
...I suggest it as a service item because changing it as a matter of course at 100k is no different to, by way of an example, changing the water pump along with the cambelt on a VW Golf....
See, I know far better than you how to treat a woman. Though the time you bought Mrs DTM an iron for her birthday does deserve credit.....As the sun started to come up this morning, I put the space saver on the back of hers, and dropped the wheel I took off to my grumpy MOT man to remove the screw...
That was a nice birthday present for her
Caught the tail end of a piece on the one show last night so open to correction…..
The European cruise ships create the equivalent pollution of 1 billion cars.
The chief “ eco officer” for MSC was proudly explaining what they were doing to reduce impact on the environment. .Some things were impressive like water and sewage handling. In Southampton they “ plug” the ship into the mains so theydont have to run the engines while docked. That mist be a thick cable………
Where are the environmentalists demanding the banning of cruise ships? Perhaps just stop oil folk could superglue themselves to the water line?
Does it have long enough between breakdowns for that much acceleration?May I take it from the pic that restricted performance tops out at 90mph?Being diesel it would be extremely unlikely to get anywhere near 170 mph
Clearly tailored to the driver...
Merc drivers. All of them. Is it a requirement for a lobotomy upon purchase.
How oppsing slow can they all drive, and just how much fresh air can they give way to.
Is it a lobotomy, or because they're so blind that they willingly buy such ugly cars?
