Especially as it seems to mainly fly over Erith and Slade Green Marshes then follow the Thames to Thamesmead.<BR/><BR/>Ok probably the best way to see those areas (i.e.: a thousand feet up) but waaaay to expensive.<BR/><BR/>Abit like Stella in a pub….<BR/><BR/>Mind you APPARENTLY The Running Horses in Erith is now £3.70 a pint so I'm told. I thought £3.10 was pricey when we supped in The Prince Albert afew weeks back but £3.70 in ERITH??<BR/>I object to anything over £2.50 just on the principle that if your out with a tenner or whatever it breaks down into nice even change!<BR/><BR/>I actually don't mind Stella.<BR/>Not LIKE just mind.<BR/>I don't like lager anyway but if pushed it's one I would drink.<BR/>Did you know Stella Artois was launched in 1926 initially as a seasonal beer especially for the Christmas holiday market and in May 2008, the UK advertising campaign was run reporting that Stella Artois is only made from four ingredients: hops , malted barley, maize and water. Technically, the process also uses agents such as yeast for fermentation and isinglass for clarification ; "The animal product that we use is Isinglass (fish finings). This is a clarification agent made from certain fish. It assists clarification by attracting the yeast cells causing them to coagulate into larger particles which then separate from the beer, giving the beer a clean and clear appearance." (Interbrew 19-Nov-2003).<BR/>(I love Wikipedia…)<BR/>Anyway I'd like to know WHAT fish they use?? Hang on that means it's not Vegetarian/Vegan approved?<BR/>Hmmm...<BR/><BR/>I've found it does tend to be the um...Non-Working Working class who prefer Stella as a tipple. <BR/>I think it's years of 5 For a £5 offers (always known the brand in Off Licences for that offer) that helped push it down market. Mind you perhaps their showing some taste not drinking Carling or Fosters!! As you've pointed out to me before 90% of Beer can rubbish you see on the street is Stella can's.<BR/>Mind you I ended up drinking 2 cans of Strongbow Super (7.5%) on Saturday as they were bought for me so maybe I really shouldn't comment...<BR/>I agree about Shepherd Kneme though their beers aren't great in a bottle, draught; nectar of the god's!<BR/><BR/>A new lappy? Why not a Mac?<BR/><BR/>AH! <BR/>SAUCES a subject close to my heart. <BR/>I live and die by sauces and condiments. for example last night I had a Curry at home and after cooking my own popadoms I got my Pickles out of the cupboard & fridge I had: Raita (sadly gone off), Mango Chutney, Mixed pickle (EXTRA Hot with peas, carrots, limes etc), Lime Pickle and Aubergine pickle. <BR/>It's just not an Indian without the condiments!!<BR/><BR/>Actually my recommendation is Reggae Reggae Sauce, very nice! Actually tastes like a homemade sauce (unlike the Jack Daniel's one I bought recently, had far to much orange juice in it and was to watery for my liking, more like a gravy).<BR/><BR/><BR/>WKNR is 21? Does that make it 21 years of WKNR-ing??<BR/>LOL!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Totally agree about using mobiles whilst driving, mind you I think anything that distracts should be banned. Smoking is at the top of my list although I'm for it AND against it. <BR/>For as I can't see how you can spark up, smoke, change gear and drive SAFTLY but against as I don't think the Government should legislate against people in such a controlling way which brings me along to my next point, or rather yours. Drinking on public transport.<BR/>Now I agree it's a good idea to ban it but I will happily continue to drink on buses and trains if the need arises. The day the trains run on time and the toilets are useable I will lay down my bottle or hip flask. Sorry but I agree with the reasons (as you say Stella power tw@ts beering it up) but if your civilised and cause no problems then you should be allowed to have a drink as long as no damage or discomfort is caused to other passengers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
