Have you tried the 4% stuff yet welly? If not, don't bother. It's like your average cheaponasty weak piss lager with a vaguely Stella-like taste

Oh, and I got a mate to help me do a blind test on 5.0% Stella vs. 5.2% Stella and out of 10 runs I identified the weaker one 10 times :(

I got 60 bottles (284ml) of the 5.2% from Sainsbury's for £20.00 (less 15% staff discount - thanks Mrs Welly) at the weekend and I'm savouring each and very one :cheesy:

I surmise that the 5.0% version is actually less than that :x

Merry Christmas.

2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

I dunno, what if people don't look like the way you imagine them? Would it make it harder to talk to them?

Can't imagine it would make much difference, after all we're here to share an interest, help each other and have a laugh or two along the way. I'll do the picture thing if it's what people want. 8)

Do you have any club get-togethers :?:

Anyway its Friday, it's half eight, so its pub time :cheesy:
