I love Dr Pepper, and discovered a year or 2 back it goes amazingly with a Jack D/Bourbon whiskey. SO my little pleasure is finding the rare pub that actually sells Dr Pepper.Quote:

Dont remember that ....but i think his problem stemmed from being 100% lager drinker..ansnever heard of stout...sweet or otherwise.Quote:

Wouldn't worry about it.Quote:

Yes, but at least they can still look forward to updating their Facebook status.Quote:

When you order a pint of Guinness at the bar, the barman knocks out another round with another punter then remembers to top your pint up at the perfect time.
Having a long word to type that you're not quite sure how to spell, giving it a go with some keyboard bashing in the right general direction of the letters you want and seeing the Microsoft autocorrect magically transform your ramblings into the intended word.
:agree: Indubitably.Quote:

Never even thought about that though .
Now that the weather's improving, having the window open when having and coming out the shower.
For years I had an internal bathroom and everything was too steamy. Now I have a wee velux which is plenty to provide a refreshing draft.
Spring watch on BBC2. The best most relaxing hour of the day at the moment
Eating the fresh pork crackling hot out the oven.
Sticking a headcam on my 5 year old granddaughter's head and watching the playback from her perspective. Adults are huge!
Absolutely, it's brilliant viewing and as you say, so relaxing. Never really watched it much until this series and really appreciate it now.Quote:

I get the same enjoyment from Work on the Wild Side (Channel 4), really getting into nature programmes during this tough time.Quote:

I think that’s a thread in its own right, not the big massive sellers but the ones that you listened to, that still hold strong. Document is a good example, for me Life’s Rich Pageant is the one I rarely revisit but love when I do.Quote:

I'm on Life's Rich Pageant just now, I like it but not as much as the others I mentioned. I have to say Out Of Time was the one that sounded dated (or maybe wasn't that good in the first place) but the much maligned Monster was a pleasant (?!) surprise. New thread....yeah good idea!
Coming onto the forum and seeing new posts in the Pet Peeves and Driving Pet Peeves threads :greengrin
Grapefruit juice (not the 'from concentrate' pish).
Grapefruit juice for definite, pink grapefruit freshly squeezed especially.Quote:
