bazza 71 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Beefsteak, am reminded of the early 'Ah Bisto' signs where the two are smelling the aroma of the gravy whenever I look at our current and hopefully soon to be removed Prime Minister. Gillard has the same long pointed nose, rat features, same styled red hair and a stuck up attitude as the figure in green in the advertising pictures, particularly the later ones!!!!!!!!!! mick2me...Tried for some time to put a picture on here but was not allowed : - You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community. Thats a good description of our soon to be deposed PM Trev Baz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bazza 71 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Shipos........Yeeuk. As a barman in the Horse and Groom I used to serve the stuff and was expected to drink a certain ammount of it to be sociable with the people that i was serving it to. Disgusting stuff. If I cast my mind back I can still taste it. Gimme a nice cold Aussie lager any day. "Bazza waits for barrage from real ale (that's a laugh) drinkers." Baz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 If you don't like Shipstones (Anagram: honest p1$$) you are better off in the land of pseudo beers. Shippo's was the main attraction for a friend of mine who worked in Arabia; his first stop on the way home on leave was The Wheatsheaf on Illson Road for several pints of Shippo's bitter. Sorry about the anagram looking odd - the fecking auto censor keeps changing it from p iss! Aha! found a way to beat it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 If you don't like Shipstones (Anagram: honest p1$$) you are better off in the land of pseudo beers. Used to hate the stuff and I'd tend to go out of my way to avoid Shippo's pubs (though I did use the Horse & Groom occasionally). Whether you drank that stuff or Home Ales was very much a territorial thing around the suburbs and people tended to go with what they were brought up with.. There were only two Shipstones pubs in my locality, The Ram at Redhill and The Cross Keys in Arnold, the vast majority being Home Ales in line with the proximity of the brewery. In my humble opinion, Home Bitter was vastly superior to that stinking stuff emanating from the bowels of Basford! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Knocking Shippo's was always a popular sport but it was a fine ale with loads of character, made with quality Nottingham water. Shipstones IPA was the beer supplied to the British Army in India. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Many people knocked it because it was often of poor quality, no other reason. When it was on form it was okay but in my experience that was rare. Have to agree to differ, the stuff stunk. Home Ales and the other local breweries were all much superior.

Compo 10,328 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 1950's electric flat-iron with original flex and 5amp three pin round plug. This item was found by a local builder when he knocked out a wall. It was sitting on top of a cast iron range in it's box, behind the wall. Unfortunately, the box was fairly rotten but the iron has survived. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
