Anything you want to tell us old boy? eyes:
Police are looking for thieves who stole a lorry containing 15,000 pints of real ale, from a haulier's yard in Lincoln.
The beer was in 18-gallon barrels which brewing industry experts believe will be melted down and sold for scrap.
The lorry, which was due to transport the real ale to London for the Great British Beer Festival, was stolen in the early hours of 4 August.
James Daley from the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) said he did not know how the thieves would get rid of the haul apart from trying to sell it to pub landlords.
"I don't know if there are some discerning thieves out there who actually like real ale and have stolen it for their own purposes but 15,000 pints is going to take a few weeks for them to drink," he said.
Tony Eastwood, managing director of wholesale company Small Beer from whose premises the lorry was stolen, said the firm had been supplying the Great British Beer Festival for 20 years and had this year received its largest ever order.
He added: "There's a growing concern in the brewery industry about casks being melted down and sold for their scrap metal value which can be as much as ?30 a cask."

When I was younger I found out that one of the family cats had a taste for whiskey after she drained my glass at a family get together. We couldnt go downstairs at all the following day as the moment we started to move there would be an evil growl coming from her and none of us wanted to risk getting shredded. scared2:

She was called Kit Bouncer. The first of three cats we got when I was a kid, 'my' cat. Normally she was curious, talkative, bossy, playful and had a tendancy to concuss herself if there were wildlife programs on the TV.
Must be nearly 15 years since she died & I still miss her at times. sad24:

Know what you mean, I had a matching pair of Siamese, They were the perfect 'old married couple' that bitched and moaned at each other for 15 years. She had a perchance for cheese biscuits and rice krispies. If she didn't get her share at the table there was hell to pay! He never said a word - you couldn't shut her up! Typical.

No, it is not a good idea to mix grape and grain.
No, it will not be ?brilliant to sleep in the garden under the stars?.
No, sun beds do not make for a comfortable night.
Yes, the irrigation system does come on at 5am?
