But it has a different name so it isn't Irn-Bru

It looks like it and tastes like it iirc

Although by the time I hit that stuff I was normally pretty done anyway.

Anyway a rose by any other name n all that!

How about an Irn-Bru cocktail....?

Yep, orange WKD.

My brother drinks the stuff like it's pop, with alcohol in it. They should come up with a catchy name for it.

That's the stuff not seen it on sale for a while.

But then alcopops in general seem to have become less popular unless I only go to old man's pubs now!

Yeah, they still have some of the old 'classics' such as Hooch on sale but all the kids have grown up to drink something a bit more sophisticated such as ciderpop (Rekorderlig, Kopparberg, etc).

Partial to it myself when fancying a cider and black with a bit of difference on a hot summer day.

How about double vodka with orange juice?

Don't knock it till you've tried it...

The bottle looks disgusting and cheap.

Also I prefer my beer on tap.

Go boil your head!

Ingredients

One head.

To begin

1 Trim any bristles from the head with a razor.

2 Cut the ears from head with a small, sharp knife. Remove the very thick cartilage from the inner ears and discard. Set ears aside.

3 Cut the nose from the head. Set aside.

4 Take the head and soak in brine (water mixed with salt to cover as much as the head as possible) for 24 hours, turning midway if required

5 Rinse the head, then place in a large saucepan with carrots, leek, onion, celery, bouillon and red wine. Bring to the boil and simmer for 4 hours.

6 Remove the skin and fat from the head - this is most easily done with fingers (be brave).

7 For the meat that remains, use whatever cutlery you find easiest to remove it use a fish knife to get behind the bones into the cheek cavities, and forks to 'pull' the rest of the meat away from the head.
