    I can’t resist seeing what people are drinking when I’m in a Belgian pub, I’ve developed quite an “eye” for the different glasses!!:)

    This is the best golden beer in Belgium – bar none!!! Sloeber – taken in its home town of Oudenaarde, 5th September 2002. Outside a cafe on the market square.

    Is that beer Lucifer? I was looking at the thick base of the glass, Lucifer has a glass like that.

    The UK media is already implying that Blair is insane, apparently there was an official denial of his insanity last week.
    He has been extremely unpopular in the UK ever since the invasion of Iraq, and, unless he gives up the leadership of his party, then it is unlikely that Labour will win the next election.

    You don’t see that worm stuff anymore, at least not where I live. I could never see the point of the worm, somehow!!
    I was once about to eat a piece of watercress, and just in time I discovered a live snail under the leaf I had picked out. Good job I saw it, because, as my veterinary textbooks tell me, the snail which is found in watercress is a host for liver fluke.

    Also, had some supermarket beef the other week and I literally could not cut it, it was so damned tough!!

    It would be Finningley for me, we used to go there every year, and it was the only airshow we would go to. I remember the Red Arrows, V-Bombers, Lightenings, Javelins, Lancaster, Concorde once put in an appearance. It was like a family gathering for us, as we always seemed to meet up with cousins, uncles, aunties and such like. It was our “local” show, as we lived in South Yorkshire then. I don’t remember what year my first visit was, but it would have been the mid 1970s.

    It’s a good photo, though I don’t like the livery and I prefer the TriStar to the DC10.

    Belgians who speak fluent English always think I’m German when I talk to them, they say that the Yorkshire accent sounds like German to them, so I dread to think what I must sound like to a non-English speaker!!

    As for my spelling, I always make sure things are spelt properly before I submit my answer, or else I recall the post very quickly to edit it. Must be a throw back to the times when I worked as a typist and everything had to be accurate.

    If any non-English people want to learn to “speyk reyt” (both “ey”s to rhyme with “eight”) and get to grips with “brooad Yorksher” (broad Yorkshire), I’ll be only too happy to teach you:)
