at the Christmas slices already (although I supposed it is almost September!)

What makes a Bakewell a Festive Bakewell??

In my defence I was only down the cake aisle looking for baklava
Sprinkles

Oh, I wasn't criticising the purchase in the slightest. Possibly the availability! But if they are there - buy the cake

Do they add a festive spirit to the bakewells or is it the christmas coloured sprinkles?!!

Achtung, Tommy. For you, ze bland English ale served warm is over!

It may have been a universal nickname, I don't know, but squaddies always called Löwenbräu 'Laughing gas'.

I like it.

What sort of outlay does that require?

About £190 for the machine plus a keg. Special deals often spring up.
The kegs are on next day delivery, and for every keg returned you get £5 worth of 'Beer Tokens ' to spend.
Have to say, I'm impressed by the kit and the beers on offer. My waistline is not.

you could set up your own brewery for that....it comes out at less than £30 fo 40 pints....

I can't find the cheapest alcohol per unit comparison site but I did find this:

I remember getting my Dad pissed on Löwenbräu the night before my sister's wedding. He had a thumping hangover and was as grumpy as a badger with a sore arse the next day...

I think I might have dropped a bollock inviting the Distinguished Gentlemen around for beer and a takeaway on Friday, as it's my birthday on Saturday and I'm expected at the gym at 8.15am and then out for a slap up meal in the envening.

I shall simply inform them that I need to be restrained. I'm sure, like most middle-aged blokes, they'll be understanding and not indulge in piss-taking and derision.

New axe.

Always had a thing for PRSs with the bird inlays. A far eastern PRS is the only sort I'm likely to buy any time soon

I thought about putting this in the jokes thread, it isn't exactly a 'pleasing purchase' 'cos I haven't got one.

Which of you losers are still carrying your helmets around in the bag they came in, or leaving them all-a-dangle off the handlebar?

Today's must-have accessory is -

It's a snip!

A new toaster. The *black* stainless Cuisinart 4 slicer. A bit spendy, but the previous one lasted damn near 20 years.

Different, but very nice! Cheered up a slow cooked ham i just had, not all of it obvs...

There's me thinking it was a t-shirt that you've recently purchased. Not even the sauce was the right colour.

I must congratulate Sainsbury’s on a good selection of sardines! Nom!

How much are they charging for the Ortiz sardines? (I've been buying 20 can packs from The Fish Society - lasts us between 6 to 9 months). The price has gone skyward.

My mum got me some of their sprout ketchup for Christmas a few years ago. It was interesting, but not actually that strange.

Where did you get that ^.

I *think* they were £4.20 but with a nectar card it brought them down to £3.50.
