A bottle of Courage Silver Jubilee Ale from 1977. I found it while clearing out my late father in law’s house. I looked on the internet and found that there are loads of these for sale for just a few quid so I decided to let curiosity take over. I was surprised to find that when I lifted the...

Hands up, I didn’t. I heard the start of the song and didn’t want to go any further. Lesson learned.

If praying could heal amputees, I’d be impressed. But this is just coincidence.

I don’t know if that’s true, but it’s feasible. After all, Muslims,Jews and Christians all worship the same god. It’s just the narratives that are different.

You clearly haven’t been touched by His Noodly Appendage. Ramen!

Well certainly the three Abrahamic religions are very sensitive about Jehovah. I don’t know much about religions with a smaller fan base, but there’s probably some isolated tribe living in somewhere like the Amazon rain forest who would take exception if you took the p!$$ out of the Great Mumba...

Is that buy one get one free, or free with every full tank?

Hmmm, is it ok to say that I rather like the idea of being taken to Hel’s bosom?

What I don’t understand is this, we live in a time when it is perfectly acceptable to challenge, question or even ridicule people on which political dogma they support or which football team they support. But for some reason their choice of religion has to be treated like delicate porcelain.

It’s in the snug.

I agree. I’ve got to the end of a brew before now and discovered that I’d run out. It may have taken a little longer to drop clear but it turned out fine.

Looking in the mirror, Clint?

I think retention of pints in pubs is more of a cultural thing, spirits in the UK have been sold in metric measures for years. And in Canada many places still offer a sixteen or twenty ounce pint despite having been metric for decades.

There’s no doubt that road signs would need to be changed which would involve a cost. How much that cost would be, I have no idea but I suspect that it wouldn’t be as much as all the billions that the blue team have wasted on dodgy PPE contracts for example. As I said before there is a mixture...

Oh, and you can still buy pints in pubs in Ireland.

What’s wrong with abolishing miles? And why do you think it would be so disruptive? As I said previously in relation to decimalisation of the money, it caused a few moans and grumbles but people still got used to it.

Apart from British exceptionalism.

I hope so, because the current mixed system is daft. When I moved back here from Canada (completely metric since the early eighties) I brought my motorcycle with me which had a digital speedo in km only. In order to get a Type Approval Certificate enabling me to register it in the UK I had to...

What sort of response is that? You were the one accusing people of hatred, so what is it?

How long’s it going to be before some wan cur suggest a return to £.s.d.?
