Beer?

[Aperitif]

Sorachi Ace hopped Saison from M&S. Lovely crisp citrus beer with a sharp zesty finish. Yumtus.

Only needs an aubergine to accompany the aubergiste, and we would have a full hand of middle class accoutrements in that photo...olive oil, fancy salt grinder, induction hob, ghostly images of items Alessi begin to float through if one stares long enough. Lacks the down to earthness of hyacinth bulbs juxtaposed by a Feininger poster though. Probably an Andreas...could be a Lyonel I suppose, given the cultured individual who posted the snap.

Plum porter. Smells of plums too. Quite pleasant, quite a light porter, not super complex, bitter aftertaste but all in all, nay bad.

And I will no longer be responding to head jokes, you can all laugh amongst yourselves: Pah!

I agree, Crackle - no more head jokes...more utensilania though; a Sabatier knife on a manky chopping board, with toff's nosh elegantly presented in black crockery with red detailing...very Chinese. Pleased also that you carefully arranged the cappage to give Marmion another seasonal thrill. Ah, the tales of heads...
Beer looks far too nice. Titanic goes down a treat.

Wetherspoons at lunchtime, for leaving drinks for a colleague and a good gossip with a different colleague.

I had a few "Christmas Cracker" from some brewer or other. It was strong, sweet and rather good. And at 6% the first pint rather wrecked the afternoon - so it was probably a good thing I had a few more than the first. At some stage that beer ran out, so I was forced to move on to somethig else. No idea what, but at that stage frankly I didn't care.

Christmas Cracker was probably from Wood's of Craven Arms in Shropshire. I've had one or two of their other brews, and they're reliably good.

His tardiness (only to be expected , really) was noted. He cares not a jot; he's a freestyler.

Probably paying too much attention to his lad* pouring the beer to see if he can learn how to do it properly himself.

*there is no way that he poured that himself and must have got his son to do it.

Pal ale a speciality. Crax often beats the dog at cards though - he doesn't win a lot.

If only he could slowdown a little, perhaps paws for thought, he might Cesar the initiative again, or perhaps bonio up a little on winning hands.

JtM - it's 'the ale that dogs the wag' - Stop now!

I'm getting a bit angry that you're closed the (labra)door on puns now, which reminds me of my new years resolution to curb dis-temper of mine. As for Mrs M, I fear that if she started reading this thread, she'd get so lost that it would be difficult to retriever from it, which would be terrier-ble, as we kennel agree.

Ha! I-rish.
