What's a Glis Glis?

 

[Crazyface]

When some real ale drinkers loudly discuss to all who will listen about the flavour profile of a particular glass of waz they’re drinking.
worked in several pubs and done plenty of real ale festivals and it all tastes of urine with the odd bitter or citrus tone.

i'VE STOPPED DRINKING beer. No one has an idea how to keep it properly or pull it anymore. Now drink cider.

Scratching noises in our loft. Don't know if it's mice, squirrels, birds or what. Have been up for a look but only the middle bit is boarded and I only had a small torch so couldn't see anything. Will have to call someone out.

We've had this for while, and have rats, so thought it was them. Had a look around in the loft and can't see any dropping. I bought some sonic deterrents. The scrabbling about has stopped.

Local car dealer inflating prices of his cars, but gives you loads on yours against his, obviously.

It’s actually an edible door mouse imported by the Rothschilds in the early 1900’s to their estate in Tring, where some escaped and spread.

The Romans were very fond of feasting on them

You had Romans in the 1900’s?

Apparently... so good they named it twice

Third day back in the office is all it took for the Met Line to be buggered again. Currently sat on the Jubilee line to Baker Street. Which takes forever by the way.

Apparently there’s a wrong way to put a bag in the waste bin

Guess who’s just discovered that?

That’s my excuse for not doing it anymore.

Patsy Kensit on this weeks House of Games. She sits there looking bored, not even bothering to try in the buzzer rounds - sat back while everyone else has their hands on the buzzer. Must be a good pay packet for her and she is robbing the viewers

Maybe she made a blunder and thought her agent had got her a part in House of Cards or Game of Thrones.

I thought the worst contestant ever on that was Jay from The Repair Shop (lovely man still), followed by Dion Dublin. Patsy Kensit beats them both though, utterly clueless. Why go on the show if you know absolutely nothing? Does she need the money that badly?

I reckon this is the weakest week I've ever seen, it's made me irrationally angry at times. And breathe..........

Press/Politicians referring to "50 something" folk who have packed in work as "economically inactive!" Utter cobblers!

I am out and about spending money that keeps folk in jobs. There's VAT and excise on loads of this and I get taxed on my savings and investments. Went out for lunch yesterday and the place was packed with "skivers" like me spending money and keeping folk in work. Worked all my life, never took a penny in benefits. Marvellous.

If that's inactive, what does active look like?

Reminds me of the scene in Shrek where he has some type of rodents on skewers

No mention of edible dormouse here - shocking
