Guinness chat!
Many years ago, my Nan got a bout of TB, and whatever treatment the docs gave her somehow depleted her body of iron, and so she got a case of 24 bottles of Guinness a week on prescription, with instructions to drink 3 bottles a day.
She was teetotal, and hated Guinness but Docs orders and all that.
I have very clear memories of her solution to this, which was to put about 5 teaspoons of sugar in a tall glass, and then pour a bottle of room temperature Guinness into it, while rapidly stirring with a spoon. This had an effect similar to the Elephant Toothpaste reaction, and most of the Guinness would surge out of the glass and all over the draining board. Whatever was left she would drink with a scowl.
As a small boy, this was by far the most exciting thing I can ever remember her doing, and it was almost a disappointment when she made a full recovery.

Where's bloodhound the blood knight? I don't know if I've done that one yet. Is it the castle south of mistwood?
I beat Margate at level 20 something. The story seems peripheral though. I'd rather just roam the world until I'm vastly overpowered and then smash through everything.
I cracked and looked up a full version of the map last night. It's enormous. What I thought was going right up to the northern boundary was just the lower half of the map.

Good Morning Everyone!
Guinness is Good for you, I think we can all agree. Like any medicine, there may sometimes be side effects.

Do the British public get to pick the Chelsea side now?
Or will Boris put a hard-line Brexiter in charge who will sell all the stars and stick a load of local kids in? Which I expect will still be more successful than actual Brexit.

That was the cause of my hollow larf. Anyone who's been chased down the frog by a bunch of boot boys from 'The Shed' because you'd got hair longer than a #1 cut will know that these recidivist GBH practitioners were as much a cultural asset as BoJo's toenail clippings. It's no surprise that their cultural icon was Chopper'Arris... "In the eyes of many fans across the world, Chelsea are the club of London – they’ve won more titles than anyone else." So what? Why should I give a toss what the rest of the world thinks? And since when have you supported the idea that truth should be decided by the assessment of "fans across the world"? Hmm... I should have Sheepled them and made those separate posts! Come to think of it, you may just be tweaking my tail... *sigh* |

We should be damned grateful to Lizzie Magie: *Lizzie Magie, a game designer and writer The board game Monopoly, which has become a part of international popular culture, is actually derived from The Landlord's Game which was created by Lizzie. The history of Monopoly can be traced back to 1903, Magie created a game which she hoped would explain the single-tax theory of Henry George. 'The Landlord's Game' was self-published, patented in 1904. In January 1936, an interview with Magie appeared in a Washington, D.C. newspaper, in which she spoke to reporters about the similarities between Monopoly and The Landlord's Game. The article spoke to the fact that Magie spent more money making her game than she received in earnings, especially with the lack of credit she received after Monopoly was created. |

Finally Boris is cleaning up the footer. Now that the one bad apple Roman is offski, we're left with truly good owners who share our own British values.

Isn't Everton something to do with another sanctioned Russian?
After Newcastle aren't the PL glad they have such nice people owning clubs. Anyone fancy kicking a cat about?

What kind of commie nutjob government nationalises a football team? They should at least have offered Matt Hancock's mates a chance to buy it for a tenner first.

Manchester United. |

That's a sort of joke.
The biggest London club by miles is Arsenal. It might have been exaggerated because they were successful under Wenger, but it always seemed fans of other clubs lived near them, but Arsenal fans were everywhere.
Going to any pub on a night Arsenal were on tv meant accepting it would be packed. It was not the case with any other club.

I always found the cockney Reds a particularly great bunch. I received a long lecture from a group of them about Beckham and how they were going to do over West Ham on the opening day of the 1998-99 season. Charmers, the lot of them.

Is there no end to their talents? You've done it all You've broken every code And pulled the rebel to the floor You spoiled the game No matter what you say For only metal, what a bore. |

This is how I imagine lazybones looks when he goes out huntin' for burrito. I’ve just been for a hearty meal in an Italian restaurant. A work meal. One of my colleagues decided to give me a dose of wine - a super duper dose. I feel ok. I’m now unaccustomed to drinking at work. |

Liverpool just the same - I went on a stadium tour of Anfield once and the guy asked how many of those on the tour were locals. The answer was none out of 60. Meanwhile, the streets around the stadium look like something out of a warzone, due not least to the predatory landlordship antics of, er, Liverpool FC.

My friend says drinking whilst working from home is rife at his company. The board are mostly very posh upper class types and every conference call from 11 a.m. on a Thursday until Friday evening is full of them necking Stellas. He says it's absolutely bizarre. |
