Aldi were doing it very cheaply during lockdown ( £1.19 a bottle or so ) and I drank far too much of it. Think it's 7.3% from memory

Re: Formula1

This is what happens when you don't run a race meeting to check things before the F1 mob turn up ( as once was an FIA requirement but conveniently forgotten before the Dallas 84 race and never seemingly re-instituted). And if you want to see what happens when a racing car ( in this case a Sports pro...

Got to say my first thought was that it was a crematorium and I'm not the only one !

Paul Bird has died.

No mention of cause of death but given his " lifestyle" I wouldn't be surprised if it was heart related.

Re: ⚽ Luton Town v West Ham Utd: match thread

That was a professional performance. All the hype with luton at home and first home game of the season. We stood up and showed that we were a professional outfit. The handball could have gone either way but comes off the head onto the arm. Agree mostly but not sure about the head onto the arm .....

Yep, the geezer who owned the shop between 4th & 5th Avenue in Manor Park saved me a few times. Used to be one in Maryland too.

Re: Formula1

Easy way to police track limits:- have a one foot deep drop off at car width beyond the white line. They'd all observe limits, I guarantee it.
