What time is kick off?

[marshbrewer]

not a jot - seeing as we get 35% shift allowance - win some lose some. As my kids are grown up and no grandchilden I took the hit so my team-mates with young kids can have that...

getting woken up at 6 in the morning by the kids...

I sometimes used to do similar things when I was single and childless, and often wondered if it was appreciated. As a parent of two kids now, I'd just like to say it really is; so good for you.

I might have a cheeky pint now and then some wine - might carbonate some for fun. I can't hit the beer too hard because I want some left in the keg tomorrow to show off with and I think I'm down to about 4 litres. nOoooooooo!

Merry Christmas ya daft buggers.

Just on the first of the day, home brew brown ale.

I've just opened a jar of my allotment pickled onions....with some extra mature cheddar....oh yes!

On Xmas Day........if you are cooking does sherry count as kick off.....or is that excused? Asking for a friend.

Counting down the clock to midday when we start cooking and drinking all sorts of stuff that only comes out of the cupboard once a year!

Champagne finished and now moving onto the first ‘sharer’ bottle from the beer store cupboard. This is nice, lots of citrussy yeast character and floral hops. Nice from a champagne flute

 

[marshbrewer]

Prosecco with lunch, too stuffed now to drink any beer. Might have a nap!

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Same here, two bottles slipped down too easily with dinner I am stuffed and will leave the beer until later.

‘Sharer’ Number 2 will be a 750 of Saison DuPont but I think I might wait until the kids are in bed before I open that
