    Timing is everything , always happens when a certain leaning to most subjects is proved wrong , a bit like the ref that lets things go in a game but not even handedly ,,
    anyway I’m sure this is now off topic and constitutes bickering so perhaps time to move on 
    your the boss

    Are you sure it was? 
    Bear in mind that I read it all 
    Was it suited to a different thread? Had it turned into bickering?

    Just a diesel van from 2016 onwards or a petrol one from 2006?

    GboroRam reacted to G STAR RAM in Serial Whingers Notts Forest playtime, which we simply cannot accept.   
    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.

    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....
