    From seeing the pictures, the sandpaper they used was luminous yellow! Same tricks are/have been used in cricket and some of it is part and parcel of the game. Most fast bowlers will sport a red stain down their thigh where the ball gets polished and that is completely allowed. Cricket...

    PeeBee's Brewday - Low Alcohol Beer

    I might have to try this soon for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the wife is pregnant and has been enjoying having beer she can drink (tried a few different ones and when chilled have enjoyed them all). The other reason is this summer on so many occasions I fancied a beer in a situation that...

    Steve Smith.

    I think it would be different if it wasn't the Aussies. I think he will be reminded of it by the players in the middle so the crowd can also do it but think they should do it in a better humoured manner. Ball tampering isn't really that bad when you consider that all balls (smirk) are...

    The penny has dropped....

    Best flavoured vodka I ever made was using earl grey tea bags for a couple of days.

    What to do about false bad tripadvisor review

    I think best course of action is polite, non specific and thinking about the potential future customers. Not some idiot. I would also suggest the free beer would be better used getting some of your regulars to leave positive reviews, maybe asking them to mention how clean the place is, how...

    My local Homebrew shop has closed down

    Would love to but to be honest i don't know enough about brewing! Long term plan is something similar around food but incorporating into a community food project around food education from running sessions for primary school children, home to local food groups etc.

    My local Homebrew shop has closed down

    Its always a shame when small businesses close but as the generations continue, more and more people will be shopping online. Government has to step in. They need to direct and support shops to be more than just a retail space as they will never survive and are leading to the town centres we...

    First Beer for a year

    Hi all, thought I would just put up a quick post as did my first brew day last week for almost a year. I did get an ace boiler for Christmas, however after winter in the garage, the dial seems to not be responding. I did undo the base to see if I could find any loose connections etc but...

    I wish they would make their minds up.

    Couldn't agree more! have you seen the cost of ox tail recently! bonkers for how little meat there is! Not related to that but last summer I did curry goat, the goat was around £25 per kilo (I needed 3 kilo as was a big party...) checked the price of goat last time i was in Sheffield, £7 per...

    I wish they would make their minds up.

    There is a big difference between eating sausages on the off chance it contains some liver alongside the pulverised bones, cartildge and gristle and eating good quality offal. Below is the minerals found in Beef liver... I very much doubt many Richmond sausages can claim that! Copper An...

    Every Post on this subject eventually gets shut down ....

    All people have the ability to: Live Love Eat Sleep Survive We are all the same, from every culture, every nation because at the end of the day, its all constantly changing anyway. Our "British" values would have been very different 60-70 years ago when Alan Turing was being homosexual acts...

    Young's Seafood is recalling its frozen fish cakes.

    You say that, in the bar I used to work at, a man came in, ordered his drink, was given a dish of peanut crackers to go with it. ate the lot. told us he had a peanut allergy and to call an ambulance. Luckily there was witnesses that the bar staff told him they were peanut crackers when he...

    I wish they would make their minds up.

    The world we live in, it seems that everyone wants to be told the "one thing you need" or the "best food to eat". Its like the fad at the moment for putting protein in everything. There has been some research that excessive protein in the diet as as bad for you as excessive carbs or fat...

    Demand for yet another new Law ...

    It's an interesting argument! I get Duttos point. Surely laws (basing this on rugby/football debates...) are open to interpretation and that is one reason for us having a jury for them to view whether the person on trial is guilty if what they have been accused of. Surely this means that...

    Six Nations 2018

    It was good to see England control a game and win rather than show brilliance but be fallible. Against some of the big teams, theres no point going out and playing expansive rugby when you then leave gaps and allow them into the game. Wales never looked like winning that game, I didn't think...

    Latest gender pay gap BS could cost Tesco 4 Billion

    I am not actually sure that CEOs jobs are particularly more skilled than anyone else. They have a whole companies worth of skilled (and unskilled) labour to utilise. They are there to manage everyone, take the flack if things go wrong and to receive the praise when things go right. Thats not...

    Six Nations 2018

    Wales are trying to move away from the warrenball tag as well so less likely to need the "big" outside centre.
