Of course! Though recent habit of shandying it up mid-week seems to cause utter contempt and disgust wherever I go. Men seem to have real issues ordering a real ale shandy at the bar. But consider it fine to order a Fosters. Bizarre.

France!

I'm going all Mary Whitehouse since coming back from hols. Watch it, GB, I've got my eye on you!

That is a gross joke!

I thought Americans love Brit culture!

Ew.

Ew.

A bar serves drinks. A pub is an extension of your living room. Simple. Are you an expat, Ohio?

That's so sweet!

Hi Spudders! Sorry you've had a tough time of it. Though I'm slightly worried about the 'binning'. Hope the misses is still in one piece. The other new thing around this place is sometimes people actually meet in real life these days! There's a lot of man love!

Goatboy!! You're so rude!

The interesting thing is in Denmark, Carlsberg is actually a pretty amazing, charitable organisation. It's only here it's got a reputation of lads getting legless after one half.

Ha, no! No internet thank goodness. Glad to have an enforced break from the Internet, and phone. At the moment I'm just leaving the beautiful city of Pompey on a very glamorous ferry to France. While I'm gone, Jonnyboy, can you keep the sexists, the pornographers, the bullies, and the miserable people in check? Thanks!

Great! Well I'm off now on hols for a week. Hopefully everyone can behave themselves while I'm gone.

Just you and me then Goatboy. I'll have to drink double quantity to make up for you... Can do your St Denys pub as will be getting train to Romsey straight after again.

Looking like I'll be on my own for Spurs I'm expecting us to lose, and to be pretty damn miserable about it.

I'll be travelling down from London that morning. I like sleep more than I like beer, though it's close between the two.

No Bear. This is a fail of an effort to troll me into a corner. Weaker than a pint of Fosters.

Ha, great article from Caitlin Moran in the Times Magazine yesterday about the Tories, and the weirdness of sending your kids away to be brought up by an institution. Worth a read. Paywall stops me linking it.

What you described is It's A Knockout, not serious sport!

Pochettino is very comical! He ums and ahs over a word to the point you're expecting a moment of genius revelation, then it turns out to be something like 'ball'.

:( take the mickey out of women's rowing all you like. But as the Olympics show, female rowing is as entertaining to watch for the mass public, as men's. And if silly men got off their high horse obsession with protecting men's sports, then they see that any bit of competition is fun to watch. Christ, I've even been known to watch darts.

I never really understand the 'more important battles to fight' point of view - it's as if there was one person in charge of it all needing to prioritise where they spend there time, rather than the real world which is 50% women, all with different interests and things they feel passionate about. But also, women and sport is actually quite an important thing.

Yes, except mine wasn't a criticism. I love Mane, and have been championing him right from day one.

That seems harsh. I think he's probably just a bit over enthusiastic.
