    I loved subbuteo! had the complete stadium all the scottish premier teams & scotland & englad national sides. - always made the little bro go england
    There once was a scotsman named Drew
    Who put too much wine in his stew
    He felt a bit drunk
    And fell off his bunk
    And landed smack into his shoe

    We had a subbuteo contest in the first form, I was 11. You had to draw your team from a hat, caused a lot of trouble but I didn't care cos I don't understand football, or being a supporter etc. I mean, for what?

    I drew Leicester City. Ah, where are they now?

    You are right, but better to try a couple of pints of Fuller's ESB and float home comfortably afterwards.

    Funny story in my blog. Think you might get a kick out of it. http://www.online-literature.com/forums/blog.php?b=8365. I could have posted it this thread, but I think a link is just as easy.

    I have been drinking beer for more years than I care to remember but the other night something happened that I have never seen before. I asked the barmaid for a bottle of Leffe Belgian lager and, as she poured, it came out of the bottle as pure water. She was as surprised as I was and nearly dropped the bottle. At £3.40p a bottle that would have made it very expensive water. Has anyone experienced a similar phenomenon?

    You turned beer into water. You may be the antichrist.

    Never. Did she try another bottle? Maybe it was some employee who wasn't meeting his quota and decided to cheat.

    Yes she did try another bottle and it was OK but given the mechanised bottling process normally used, I am still puzzled.

    One of the employees was thirsty and re-filled the bottle with water before packaging.

    I remember reading that a beer company had a campaign... They filled a regular with water and was going to pay 500K whoever found it...
