Doug Ellis - patron saint of alkies

[SW9-VILLA]

Should be knighted for services to tramps, students and 14 year olds in the park.

Frosty Jacks used to be the afternoon 3 litre tipple of the Kidderminster Alki.... They've moved on to K now it comes in cans, so they lose less if they cos caught with it in the no alcohol zone and have 1 open and it's nearly 1% stronger. I once asked if it tasted better, the reply 'who the fuck cares you fucking flith '. The kids tend to have the Frosty Jacks as it is a little bit cheaper and is more easily disguised as pop when they take the label off.

Ah,the old canal club at the back of the jobcentre with the post office just around the corner. Had many a swear word directed at me when i used to fish that part of the canal years ago. Maybe " Fuck you,ya drunken piss stained trouser wearing c..ts" didn't help my case much though .

I had no idea Aston Manor Brewery had grown that big. I think at one point it was effectively being run by Peter Ellis.

[paulcomben]

He won't be winning any (drinks industry) trophies for that and it appeals to knuckle draggers. Remind me why he did not buy SHA instead...?

Cider is a naturally very potent drink. But because there is less tax on it than other alcoholic beverages - supposedly to encourage the planting of traditional orchards - manufacturers and retailers can make more profit out of it.

I make my own and would be amazed if it were less than 8% alcohol.

Is the Serpentine the big car park at the back of the Villa Leisure Aston Events Centre?

That's the one. it was sold to some local community group/business which never began trading.

Cheers Dave.

Didn't someone say in the redevelopment of Aston thread that they can't build much there due to pollution from the motorway? Oh well, at least it provides us with a nice spot to park on

You certainly couldn't build houses on there.

Can I try some? Seriously.

[damon loves JT]

I'll bring some next time I come to the Barton's.

It's not as if anything could go wrong.

[Legion]

I don't frequent the Barton's unfortunately. Far too busy making money out of Villa fans. Can we go to PM?

[bertlambshank]

I make my own cider as well.
It comes out when people I don't like come round.
They crawl home.
