I remember some good (very good indeed) cider in Somerset :facepalm:

.

You were a VERY long way from home then....!

In some places in these parts, you get a very exclusive invite to the first tasting of the year's cider. You take a wine glass, not a pint glass, it's that strong.... :shock:

One of my mate's is an award winning cider producer, she brews it up in old rum barrels

Not that it's a favourite subject of mine or anything.....

In the interests of sustaining a balanced rural economy, one has to buy the stuff round here...

Ahem. Cough.

 

[LikeClockwork]

Mind you, we do a lot of rather stupid things round here.... :facepalm:

If Mr P can remember good cider in Somerset, or remember anything at all then he wisnae drinking the cider

Somerset, 2nd favourite county of England after Cumbria

shame TK, tbh I'm pretty much the same, watch a bit of sport and the rest is rubbish really... but keep it mind for the future, at the end of every quarter I get an offer which I'm always willing to pass on, normally half price for a year, this is the first time I've seen free for a year.

Ah, the nettle eating contest. Saw that on River Cottage with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's team competing and I think winning.
They had eaten hot chillies to numb their mouths to the sting of the nettles. Mental.

"Wots a whoosh....?"
A whoosh is where someone writes something in jest that is taken as true by the reader as they haven't realised it's a joke. It goes right over their head, whoosh is the noise of the low flying object as it passes over.


Or have I been whooshed again?

I love my Sky+, Fast and Loud, American Chopper, American Pickers, American Restoration, Counting Cars, Pawn Stars, Arrow, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire.....loooads more. There is a whole load of pish on there too but some really cool stuff anaw.

I think we are having trouble wading through the pish to find the good stuff K, I like pawn stars but that is late night guilty pleasure We are just about to start watching Boardwalk Empire - waited until the first series started again so we could see it from there, not tried Game of Thrones. I do like the really bad b movies on horror and syfy - so bad they are hilarious, like "Nazi's at the centre of the Earth". Marnie doesn't share my enthusiasm there though

EdenHD is also a favourite, almost 24 hour Attenborough, the kids love it.
