Don't know about being a parent, but if you want disturbed sleep, worry when they are noisy, worry when they are quiet, cleaning up mess constantly, feeding, and generally constant caregiving, try two 8 week old puppies

kittens - no mess just no sleep

It must be wonderful to be a parent

When I got home, my youngest insisted on me watching Police Academy with her - the one in Moscow. It seemed to be very funny.

It's nice to see I've kicked off a few other threads. So far, as far as I can recall, it's been a pint of Kilkenny, four pints of Guiness, 40ml Jameson, and 200ml of a very decent cabernet sauvignon.

Why would you drink Stella in Belgium? Mine's a Delirium Tremens, cheers.

Palm or Duvel for me

[Scary]

Stella tastes good in Belgium. You need to watch out for those infamous words: "Brewed in the UK".

Youngs took over my local.

It had been run by a micro-brewery who had it on a lease. When they took on the lease it was a tulip-hole (quite a few of my friends had been barred after plod caught them drinking aged 16).

They stocked it with wonderful beer, their own and many, many guest beers of all strengths and tastes.

The freeholder sold it to Youngs.

Youngs told them they could no longer decide what beer to sell, and could no longer sell beer from their own micro-brewery.

It's now just another Youngs clone pub, nice enough but not exceptional.

[original PM]

Staropramen is my current tipple of choice - moved on from the Stella

but the local is a great pub - does a lot of real ale and so they always make sure that all the brews are properly managed and maintained.

Thirsty now!

Stella is tulipe.

Becks is better, Grolsh as well.

Proper blokes don't drink fizzy beer you can see through anyway.

Absolutely.

[DaveB]

But even when it's tip-top condition (I am assured), it tastes horrible to me. A nasty metal taste. I can't remember what the Belgian stuff is like, but surely to God it has to be better than that.

Anyway, glad you're enjoying it - pity it has to be at leaving dos.

Peroni is my favourite, the big 660ml bottles if at home.

Stella can go from very good to very bad between pubs.

Had the first out the pipes yesterday and it was grim. Should have sent it back.

The other 2 contractors left this week so I have been boozing most lunch times this week.

We had Stella on special at home, and it is a stronger tasting lager than others such as Grolsch, Becks & Bud; not my favourite. Becks Vier I found very nice.
