Big Chief Toffee Teeth

Sorted now. Pleased, as the lads obviously worked hard at it last year, it didn't come off, and much of the criticism was out of order. I've never had the slightest interest in English Fantasy Football, despite its 30 year long popularity. Fair play to them.

I hope I'm wrong but I fear glitches again this year. Has updated points from today in some parts of the app but not others. League placings are meaningless and don't reflect points accumulated. It looks good again, though, so let's see...

To drink any of the 5 litre mini casks, from any brewery, three days is about it. Just like larger casks, the more space you leave in the cask, the less effective the build up of CO2 becomes. A couple of hours after delivery / pickup is all they need to settle. It's not lager, so you don't want it overly chilled, and a cool place, in the kitchen, for example, will do fine - I'm lucky to have a cellar, which is ideal. You could chill it in the fridge before opening, I suppose, but I have picked up casks from Fyne Ales and taken them in the camper in July to Scottish islands, left them on the lea side of the van and they have poured and tasted great. Fyne Ales delivery costs £2:50 per cask, taking it to about £2.20 per pint of live ale, which I think worth it. It's exactly the same as from a pub font - although the obvious other things are missing - so, as someone who far prefers live beer, I think it's worth the extra 40p or so per pint over bottles. You can also get mini casks of decent - if generic and big brewery - ale from supermarkets for £15 or so, and they are pretty good. Adams Ghost Ship and Sharps Atlantic are two decent examples. I like to support the smaller Scottish brewers, though, and Stewarts in Edinburgh is also doing good minis. All the breweries are struggling, however, to get enough mini casks to meet demand just now. Try them. If your preference is live beer, it's well worth it.

Tbf, I prefer live beer - even if it has to be in mini-casks at present.

Not prone to rants on P & B, but.... Beer52 need to get right to fúck. 3 weeks for the next day delivery but, being a decent cove, I have tried to take a second case at full price before cancelling subsciption. After many days of trying, without success, to get through to them, they can take a hike. Feckin chancers. Credit card lot can sort it out. And Beer52 can shove their privately educated Edinburgh accents while they're at it.

".....onto plums..." : haven't heard that from anyone's lips but my own for the best part of forty years. Well played, sir!

A suggestion for how to resolve the destination of this year's Premiership has come from Govan, I understand. Next goal's the winner.

In 2014, in his early days as an (ahem) top class ref, Beaton allowed Moshni a ridiculous equaliser for the horrible blue shites against 'Vers in the Scottish Cup quarter final at New Douglas Park. Once a cnut.....

Willie Miller with an arm raised, demanding something from the officials. Who'd have imagined such a thing?

Just watched it. All look as if they've been Tango-ed. Assume it's some sort of in-joke? I think we should be told.

Just turned on, a couple of minutes before half-time. "The pope says no" with the even more loathsome "Tooraloo la loo la lo" preamble? Admittedly it sounded as if there were maybe only a few dozen singing, but Jesus, what a shower of utterly cretinous shite.

And what's Seve doing there?

Wtf is this badly written dross? It's popping up on every thread. GITF!

" You think you can catch Steven Gerrard? ......My guess is you'll never hear from him again." ^^^^^ Trying too hard.

Nae chance of the wind blowing over Nade, at any rate.
