Marston's was a decent brew, but not hsd any for many a year. Am also partial to a Theakstons Old Peculiar or two when i see it and it's well kept. Northern Monk brewery has started to brew Tetley Bitter in Leeds again. Original recipe and yeast strain. Tastes just like it used to do when it was brewed at the old Tetley brewery in Hunslet. Father in law worked there for over 30 odd years and said it's the water that gives the beer its the unique flavour. Totally agree with him and it's good to see it back on the wicket again Tis a shame a lot of bar staff these days don't know how to pull a pint properly Regards Steve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieS Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) I am very happy. Just finished a 3month model a 1/48 very old Fujimi Gazalle. Very nice model & to work with a 35year old kit. But very glad to start another. So now a guessing game. The Gazelle is part of all the the aircraft & vehicles, as a diorama, used in the Falklands Conflict. Can you guess which is the new model ? Clue manufactured in the northern hemisphere. 🤔 Laurie Edited January 3, 2019 by LaurieS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Kelly Brookes..... oh, dear Lordy, what a woman. Also, she seems a genuinely pleasant person when she's interviewed (although, the opposite could well be true, of course). Chris. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixII Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Morning Steve, @fatfingers your Dad in law is bang on the money. Change the water, change the brew. Partly the reason for my Worthington's comment......there's still 'old boy's' wandering the streets of Burton bemoaning the fact that Bass ruined their favourite drink! Haven't had the heart to ask about Coors.... Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootneck Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hi Laurie, Land Rovers did deploy south but perhaps you are referring Rapier Unit assets only? Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, there was nothing better than working around Wessex helos. A 1:48 s/b of Canberra would also be great. When do you intend to start this Richard?

Ah yes..the long lamented Farley Fruitbat Mk XXVIa. although there is some doubt as to whether they were actually delivered or were (possibly still are) stored in a shed in Brecqhou due to the embargo.

Which kit are you using for the Etendard? Darn it yes the Brecqhou owners, Barclay Bros., own it now. Actually the correct name is the Charley Farley Fruit Bat Mk VL. Ah yes the kit. The Kinetic in Falklands Conflict mode. All to go with a Falklands diorama about 22 at the last count British & Argentinian warfare pieces. Well done. Prize figuring the Fruit Bat. At first I thought you may have gone for the more potent FruitFly used by the Royal Marines. Laurie 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha. Decided to renovate bathroom. Going well in fact happy. Sunday about 6:00pm tired. Thought just cut this floor board out to get cracking Monday on the plumbing. Jig saw out. Strange why is the blade going a blackish colour. Yells from the ground floor hot water is pouring through the ceiling. Ruined varnished table ceiling tiles came down & carpet ruined. I had cut straight through the heating pipe. Panic running about with pails & towels. A lot of shouting. More panic until i found how to switch off the heating water top up. Good man 😔 Happy. Got table renovated, ceiling tiles replaced & new carpet better than the old one under the insurance could not believe it. So eventually happy 😋 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
