Just wanted to echo the sentiments of everyone else here. An achievement to get the nod of approval from them celebrity tasters & did show the hobby in a good light for a change. Well Done Gurgeh!

Gurgeh, just a question on the maths :twisted: , "a couple of bottles once or twice a month", to "going to the shed and pouring myself a quick pint" saves you £750 - £1000 a year. So lets call it 50 bottles (hehe) at 40p a pint thats £20. means the bottled beer cost you £770 miminmum thats £770 divided into 50 thats £15.40 a bottle :shock: , mate you should have gone to T*sco you can get 10 for that price.

Or you told them fibs and it is one or two bottles a night :lol: :lol: :lol:

admittedly 500 beers a year, down the pub, would set you back £1200.

just can't get the mathematicians anymore :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously guys - thanks for the positive comments, I had fretted that I'd get blacklisted if the editing had been different. A pity that the carefully set up noticeboard in the background wasn't as obvious as I'd hoped.

Well lets see if the weeks telly gets us a decent influx of new interest :D
