Pah!

They are to be lumped with Warband. They are as mass produced lager* is to proper beer! As that Bourne wretch with his addled brain is to James Bond!** They are as UEs are to Char B1's! 

Patience young padawan.........My missions with the Aztecs, and the armies of Warband will soon be done.......And then...... ;)

Moaning. I should point out that that is exactly what FSN (Nobby), and FK do about Centurions and Aztecs respectively.

Well I love fizzy European piss, continental architecture, the greater sense of family on the mainland and the fact that someone had the foresight to build a tunnel there. Yes, I should have been born in France and christened Andre, mais, c'est la vie.

Not long come back from a long weekend in Flanders, went to Ypres and stayed near Wormhauldt -along the line of the 1940 Dunkirk retreat. The people were extremely pleasant and very accommodating when I tried to remember schoolboy French.  Love the local food, especially the chesses and wines -one we bought for 1.49 (Euro) would cost nearly £19 a bottle over here...couldn't get me hat on as they say. Came back with a much healthier outlook on food, general life and a boot full of wine.

Still don't like lager or Stella (an over-indulgence when I was younger has soured me ever since) but Leffe is rather flavoursome if a little potent.

As I said some lagers - mainly the European ones are ok, some are very nice.  I like Amstel and while in Holland a couple of years ago with  other real ale drinkers of the Tring Club we had a pint  Heiniken that tasted completely different to the crap by that name  we get over here.

I confess to never ever - even in my youth getting so drunk I threw up. I now  imbibe on a fairly restrained basis, but Ale is my first choice over here.

:o :o :o :o :o

Even I've done that......I was 'laid up' for two/three days.
(Came of barely drinking any alcohol, at all.....then downing a whole bottle of vodka in a couple of hours.....That's a particularly painful memory. :-& :-& :-& :-&)

I started drinking in pubs at 15, by the time I got to 16 and working for a well known Telephone Company I could easily do the standard lunch of 4 pints in an hour. Consequently I used to have a high tolerance for alchohol.
