My lucky 8th AF Group numbers.

To quote the late great Bill Shankly "if they were playing in my garden Id draw the curtains!!"

On our draw on the door for this year I won three prizes. Nothing really special though. It was drawn last night, and again number 355 came out. A case of 15 tins of Strongbow cider...yuk ! I'll sell those for a tenner. Number 392 was a bottle of XT 6. Rich Ruby, whatever that is? Number 401 is a big tin of Quality Street, had quite a few already.

The draw was done again last night, I won a bottle of something? with number 392 (392nd BG)
This bottle is called; Gran Tradicion, Brut, Cava. Sounds more like aftershave !!. A Champagne so I'm told. Never tried this before but was told that it doesn't keep long after opening, at 11.5% proof I'll just have to consume it all in one session Hic !

It's proper beer, to be served at close to room temperature. You wouldn't have liked it!

I definitely didn't !!. Don't like warm or hot drinks anyway. This Christmas eve, with No 457 (457th BG at Glatton ) I won, ( At almost the last pull ) to everyone's amusement, a pack of ; Ladies Smelly Stuff. Needless to say, my good woman soon received that ! Though it does smell quite nice....on her !

Most drinks are chilled to take the horrible taste away. Try any lager (fizzy pop) warm and you will see what I mean

Well it can hardly be POP if it contains alcohol. Must admit I have been buying various IPA's and other type beers just lately, but I still have them very chilled. They don't taste very nice if not. Still plenty of taste though in chilled, or even extra chilled draught Guinness. Perhaps it's just the alcohol that I like, but cold.
