Beer?

Enjoyed most of the match with Shepherd Neame Double Stout last night and then sought oblivion via a very large Armagnac once the final whistle blew.

Excellent stout. Only £1.25 at Asda if you buy 4 at a time

Lunchtime sharpener, and this one because nearly everything else in stock is in the 9 - 13% category and I've got stuff to do this arvo. Oh yeah and a quiz, first correct answer gets a special prize.

I may have stayed slightly too long in the pub during today's ride. Possibly due to the very quaffable Otter Amber. Now waiting for a train home.

Frozen one is faster than the liquid one. In rolling down the slope the liquid one experiences some turbulent frictional forces causing some Potential Energy to fail to be converted into Kinetic Energy and is converted into heat instead.

This could be like those never ending arguments about rotational moments of intertia on bicycle wheels

I don't know so you win. Your prize is to look at this picture of the Duvel I'm drinking in the warm sunshine now summer's over. It's not making me any more proficient at dry-stone walling, oh well as long as it doesn't fall down, or me.

I had a look at a physics forum to see if there was s straight answer, sheesh if you thought cyclists were a picky bunch...

Have a look at their delivery options, that's what I do. You have to buy £25 of groceries from them (this can mean 20 bottles of beer) to get delivery and their cheapest delivery slot is £1 I think. So you can get 20 bottles, and they have a nice range of Shepherd Neame for example, for £26

Of course you will already have realised that the more you buy, the lower the overall cost per bottle as the delivery charge doesn't change. Seems like a good excuse to me

Yeah, I'm always having that argument with my mates down the boozer, Nicky!

Wetherspoons standard beer (below 5%) : £2.30
Wetherspoons premium beer (5% to 5.9%) : £2.50
Wetherspoons super-premium beer (6%+) : £2.95

Get yourself into General Cycling Discussions. There's always some muppet trying to justify the grand he's just dropped on a new wheelset by telling me he can practically freewheel uphill now

Got an email from British Airways telling me my "Avios Points" are going to expire (why they can't call them air miles like everyone else I don't know, pretentious twonks)

Aaaaanyway, couldn't find anywhere we really wanted to go so cashed them in for alcohol. Got home this pm and there was a case of rather good wine waiting for me plus this lot

No idea if they're any good or not. From Laithwaites. Gonna enjoy finding out

Just coming back from the 'dam. Met up with an ex-colleague from that London and ate horsey steaks (which are fooking amazing!) and drank something called Malbec (apparently the biz, but a bit poncey for my more MOR taste).

Fortunately managed to decamp to a bar and drank:

Bengal Tiger from Sixpoint - a classic US pale ale
Molotov Cocktail Simcoe SIngle Hop - a 13% beast of a DIPA, confirming that simcoe is indeed the greatest hop ever
Imp Stout aged on Tequila Barrels from Prairie outta Oklahoma - super smooth stuff from Prairie as always.

Also managed to bag a bottle of Sourbeest from Wild Beer Co which I'm unashamedly necking on the train. It's a sour stout which might not sound that great, but how good are Wild Beer Co though? This stuff is just genius - Wild Beer Co are deffo one of the best breweries in the UK at the mo if not the world.
