Possibly. All I can really say is that it's an eruption, it comes from a volcano, and has been going for longer than the 6 year record you claim Lanzarote has.Originally posted by Gittins Gal View PostMaybe the it was the longest fissural eruption then.
I'd even question whether Hawai'i is the longest, since the mid-oceanic ridge in the Atlantic will have been continuously erupting for about 4600 billion years...Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI hadn't really understood this 'pwned' expression until I read DirtyDog's post.Comment

Turned out, he was looking at a conveyor belt for 10 hours a day looking for dents/blemishes on the tins. if they weren't perfect, they went into the carboard multipacks for supermarkets.
They had a good staff shop though.If at first you don't succeed... skydiving is not for you!Comment

Whichever one is advertised by Cantona has just lost their ASA case - they kept implying how French they were, without actually brewing in France or even using French hops. And since they are owned by a Dutch company anyway...Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsI hadn't really understood this 'pwned' expression until I read DirtyDog's post.Comment
