I'm allergic to wine. Not homemade - something in store-bought wines fucks me up. Preservatives? I dunno. I like wine but I cannot wine. e: 1965 Cigarette advertising was banned on UK television. Somehow this did not stop anyone smoking. HopperUK fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Apr 15, 2021 |

Then in the 90s it began to be known as “Wifebeater” and the decline set in One of the Italian lager brands (Peroni?) supposedly has a rule that you are not allowed to sell it on tap unless it is the most expensive beer you offer.

Comrade Fakename posted:She was definitely in the superior 90s girl band. I'm not really sure you can call a band she started with her brother a girl band. Kenickie were just a fun pop-punk/power pop group. Certainly light years ahead of the Simon Cowell shite of Spice Girls. Unlike music I do not hold strong opinions about beer. It's about on par with wine in the sense that if someone offers me some I'll probably say yes but I'm not sure I've ever actually bought any myself. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Apr 15, 2021 |

Asda have Clyde the Caterpillar cake though.  and Waitrose  have Cecil so I don't get why they've picked on Aldi. I did try to see if Lidl have one, but didn't see any of that sort of party cake on their website. I expect they're all made in the same factory anyway.

Cecil is far closer than any of the others, so I can only assume that Waitrose has a good legal team. Or the ability to announce "50% off all wine for anyone who defends us" in their little magazine thing and a thousand retired solicitors just appear.

Also who cares I suppose, but it is amusing There's no reason at all for a superinjunction. Editors just know their place. This is how coverups actually happen - there's no Special Branch bursting in and demanding the negatives, at the very most there's a very, very polite phone call but mostly it's just accepted that there are certain things you don't print.

Dead Goon posted:Someone posted a Times article earlier and couldn't get past the paywall. Hey, few pages back but this article has me a little confused. What's the deal? If that is the content of the Mermaids training thing then there is some of it I don't get, though very much coming from a perspective of wanting to learn and very possibly just being kinda behind. If I'm reading it right the implication is that gender identity has zero to do with societal pressures, and while I can see how arguing that it isn't just that (cos then how would trans people exist etc etc), it would also seem to erase the socially constructed nature of gender? Like obviously that article is loving trash by a scum person and I'm sure a ton of that is just out of context but I dunno, it's just not what I expected to read and has surprised me a little. Was I wrong in thinking Mermaids are good or am I just being a foolish goon?

TACD posted:Isn’t it one of those? I’m really bad at knowing how to classify all these things, same with whiskey. People always talk about beers being ‘hoppy’ but I don’t really know what a hoppy taste is? From the last few pages of chat I gather it’s maybe what I don’t like about IPAs though I was gently mocking Guinness for being possibly the worst stout on the market, no matter how popular it is. People misuse the term hoppy to refer to bitterness. If a beer (particularly an IPA) is described as "hop forward" or "hoppy" then people tend to mean it has a bitter taste to it. This is incorrect. All beer contains hops, if they didn't they would be far too sweet. It's how the hops are used that determine how bitter a beer is. Extra hops added later in the brewing process (known as Double Hopping or Triple Hopping) reduce the bitterness right down and allow the flavours to really come through, for instance. It took me a long time to get used to the various bitterness levels in modern IPAs, and I still don't really like the single hop West Coast style (little flavour profile and usually quite a harsh bitterness) but I'm a big fan of New England IPAs and Double and Triple IPAs. Beer is fascinating.

Once Fullers decided to start homogenising all their pubs about 6 years ago and get shut of Grolsch out of The Ship in Soho (their best selling lager by far in there) and I had no idea of this, I walked in and asked for a Grolsch. The stand-in 'manager' said 'Peroni! and I said what the gently caress are you on about, given it wasn't even on tap 2 days before when I was last there. "?? Is the Grolsch off?" "No, we sell Peroni now, it's a far superior lager!" "Yeah, see you later" as I went somewhere else. The friend I was meeting missed my call & texts, ended up buying a Peroni in there. For 80p more than the Grolsch was 2 days before. Moral of the tale being gently caress Fullers and gently caress Peroni, it's Italian Fosters.

Question to break up beerchat. Someone's used my address as their correspondence address following some sort of car crash and now solicitors are sending letters chasing debts following some court judgement. I only figured this out after opening one of the unmarked envelopes. I've been returning the letters for months but they still keep coming. Is there anything bad that could happen? I've called the solicitor and told them to gently caress off (politely) because that person never lived here.

The Guardian etc. seem to want politicians who genuinely believe in not believing anything. That's why they fancied Starmer so much at first, until it became clear that he wasn't even principled in his vacuousness or remotely good at basic politics.

As they've got a judgement they might try to enforce but if a bailiff shows up you just tell them that person has never lived at this address but you keep getting post for them, and tell them to leave. Which solicitors is it by the way?

a pipe smoking dog posted:Which solicitors is it by the way? At the very least it's phenomenonally incompetent, throwing money at trying to enforce a judgment when they've actually been told that the person doesn't live there. Good advice might be to carry on telling them that, because it's in their best interest to listen & they really should do at some point. What I'm wondering though is that if they have a judgment against someone supposedly at that address, why the gently caress were none of the court papers sent there. Doesn't make sense.
