Resulted in our understanding of bad sanitation and cholera when they identified no one was dying of it who worked for the breweries and drank free beer instead of water from the local well. I'd rather have a flagon of mead! Has anyone here ever drunk mead?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2022 Just now, Xela said: I'd rather have a flagon of mead! Has anyone here ever drunk mead?! Of course we all have. The average age of a typical Villatalker means that mead was the most popular drink in their youth around the middle ages. Probably not the no sock rocket polishers thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he did, he then has to live without his mum. He then later had separate health issues and hospital stays which could have been terminal but gladly weren't and had no lasting effects. Modern medicine has made mine, my wife's and my son's lives much better then they could have been not that long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted September 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2022 59 minutes ago, sidcow said: Well yeah. The true answer is its all relative. Down the golf club where most are on £75k they'd consider £50k a shit wage. I just think £50k would be a figure the average earner would consider pretty darn good. Yup. Your perception of what's a good salary depends largely on where you live (cost of living) and who you spend most of your time with. If the people we're hanging out with have a higher income and more luxurious life than us, we tend not to see ourselves as doing particularly well, even if we're way better off than most people in the country. That's why we've occasionally had scandals here in the US with politicians in Washington caught complaining they barely get by while earning 5 times the national average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted September 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2022 Mead is pretty popular among craft beer drinkers. This is probably the best one I’ve drank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not pleasant at all. The flagon was cool though (and the bar). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 1, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 1, 2022 More of a "wondering right now". Hasbulla has signed a 5 year deal to fight in the UFC. Hasbulla has. I don't understand. What's he going to fight? The ref? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love cooking Sunday Roast. I get to drink Wine and beer while watching football or listening to music. I can drag it out all afternoon without a nag. When it's actually really easy and only occasionally have to do something. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let alone the full number. Can't believe you've posted that today. Yesterday we were following a pretty foul coloured insipid metallic gold Mondeo Estate. I said if it was a bit darker it would be much like my Dad's Cortina Estate EJW 126V. Before that he had a metallic green one with a vinyl roof, I remember it was JOV something or other. We (my brothers) called the Gold one Thunderbird. My first car was a red Fiesta (well red with orange passenger door and bonnet) A40 HPF. Can't remember the second one though.

Shop bought stuff is pretty poor and a massive disappointment. However I’ve had mates (a while ago) home brewed it though and that stuff was really good. Think they add some preservatives or something to the shop stuff (I was told but I drank too much to remember). So if someone suggests you to try home brewed mead then try that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I can remember my own mobile number is to ask Mrs Sidcow what her number is, then I get mine by process of elimination. They are the only 2 numbers I do know though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy that cars routinely failed to last 10 years due to rot and rust. My Dad's Granada made it to around 1993. JOM878W. Gold (beige) in colour! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
