My wife giving lollies to the local children. Five dollars gone in 30 seconds, but despite everything they all looked so happy. 

To be fair to @Red_Dawnhe did explain that he had other issues in his life and realised they were more important than football. It appears they just happened to coincide with Forest being in danger of relegation and I, for one, am very glad these other issues have dropped away just in time for him to celebrate the red dogs incredible 17th place finish.

Well, what can I say? 
The Germans decided that proper beer should only contain hops, malted barley, and water. And they did a pretty decent job of it. 
So, ingredients aren't a massive issue. Water profiles can be changed by adding minerals. Hops have different flavours and can be used in different quantities. Malt can be 2 row or 6 row breeds, can be roasted for different flavours, and used in different quantities to add depth and mouthfeel. Some heretics throw some extra ingredients in, partly for taste and sometimes for wacky factor. I'm looking at you, mushy pea mild. 
But the one thing that the Germans forgot is in all their beer, is yeast. And this is the biggest game changer. Yeast makes beer. Brewers make wort (the sugary liquid that yeast turns to alcohol). 
Unfortunately my pocket won't stretch to it regularly, but the difference in quality from the little Belgian beers in the supermarket shows the Madris, the Morettis, the Stellas and the Budweisers for what they are - mass produced products designed to maximise profit by efficient use of materials to make a product that the masses can't take much offense at.

It’s a duty thing that the Government taxes higher ABV more. More and more comes in at 3.8% or even lower just to make the same margin they were before. 

I certainly have no sympathy for the fans for this relegation. They have been relegated because they didn't win enough points to stay up. They had no embargo, no point deduction, no players sold off for derogatory prices. They were basically rubbish from top to bottom. Their reaction to our plight does make me actually pleased however that they've gone down.

Such a shame.

I must admit when Wayne Rooney was our manager I thought he held things together well - under adversity. "I'm not a quitter" said he...until he did. Then he strangely turned up at DC United...then he left there... then he turned up at Brum and from a side on the verge of the top 6 he left them as relegation fodder. I guess he's blotted his copy book forever.... but no doubt a successful career as a pundit beckons....
As for BCFC  I remember a large section of their fans taking delight in our predicament so I don't feel any sympathy to them. They may of course bounce back at the first attempt but bigger sides than them have failed...so we'll watch with interest how 24/25 goes for them....
 
 
 

Birmingham City relegated.

Comment on BBC Sports website, Birmingham hired Rooney to get them out of the Championship and he was successful.

Got to love the 2,000 Norwich fans baiting the home crowd with 
"Que sera sera
Whatever will be will be
You're going to Shrewsbury 
Que sera sera"
🤣

Thanks Wayne.  Once a Ram etc 

Let's not forget as well that they've announced a new stadium:

If they're building a 60,000 capacity stadium they'd better hope that Stevenage and Burton bring a big away support 
 

He has four years left in his contract as well.  

Feel for the mercenaries that are Krystian Beilik and Lee Buchanan..... NOT !

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - now what was that talk about having a party 😂🤣😂

Oh forgive me I forgot. 
Stadium inflating and selling to yourself, player value fabricating, HMRC and local business not paying--DCFC were the arbiters of morality 🤣
Give over will you.. 

He lasted longer refereeing people who hit each other with q tips on a Saturday night TV show.

Best case scenario is that they escape relegation by 1 point, and then have 2 points docked for a frivolous appeal.
Popcorn at the ready for that one. 

For all the dead tree press making comments about the damage to the roads being caused by heavy EVs, apparently this was not quite the correct evaluation of a report into road damage. 
Yes, they acknowledged that average vehicle weight is increasing, but of course we have heavy vehicles delivering goods every day. However, the report made a correlation between increased adverse weather and increased road damage. 
It's likely that the biggest causes of the extra damage are environmental, so global warming will be more responsible than the batteries - and they will be helping with the global warming problems, rather than adding to them. The papers don't want to tell you that though!
