This prompted a bloke from the other side of the city to

would I sell it. Since acquiring

house and he was dead chuffed - and would I take a few
cans of beer in exchange.

Sure I said and he handed me six cans of John Smiths Extra

giving stuff away? Mental joy outweighs monetary gain
any day - that said, he did offer me 30 quid a while ago
;-) Would have bought me a new lock to counter the
security goons at work.

Good karma, well done.

Same thing has happened to me on the beer front! Did a
favour for a mate and received six cans of John Smiths in
payment - still in a cupboard somewhere, well past sell
by date now!

You need to take it to a party and dump it. One friend of
mine finally threw away a multipack of Carling or Carlsberg
or some such that had been doing the rounds at family
parties for years. When his brother dumped it on him, it was
about 7 years past the best before.

I managed to get rid of a load of Stella by finding a
colleague who drinks the stuff.

Pour it into those funny little 250ml 'stubs'. For some
bizarre reason they make the lager taste ok. Drinking it at
room temperature helps to bring out the flavour (what there
is of it) as well.

As an 18 year old myself (albeit one who doesn't drink) I
can support the fact that teenagers that like alcohol won't
turn their nose up at anything. At all.

Drives me mad to be honest - drinking just because they can
rather than want to really, don't see the point...

My eldest suffered her first real hangover this week, on
shooters of balieys, vodka and stella! but the thing that
really upset her was the info her friends gave her about
what she got upto while drunk, it was all in public though,
so not two much for a farther to worry about (I hope!) He
was 21, and if I ever catch up with him...;( She's 16yo btw.
As a father, I don't condon such carrings on, but one has to
be realistic, and she was with friends in one of thier
houses, so it was a *safer* environment than some I've been
drunk in. She's currently off alcohol 🙂
