Ah to look at the magnificent artwork on the walls of the Gat, created by the inmates, with their bare hands, while in a drunken or drug induced stupour, on the filthy tiles and plaster.

Artwork at its finest.

You are a man of taste and sensibility RL.

" The Boss" ( so called) - older than me. Former radical now just another (establishment) aging star swallowing what dollars he can! Eff him!

Lucky you weren't at art school during The Robert Hughes era or we may never have known such talented criticism.

You are welcome for "anexclusive tour" if you give me some warning so my minions can clean the art.

Inspirational stuff Biffen. Understand the subtle metaphors that evolve from your substance abuse. The lads teared up when reading this.

You have magnificently demonstrated just how boorish you are Shandi. I am trying to be an example of what is expected on this site. I am sure WJ will admonish you for your crass posting.

And! What's more you have insulted a fellow poster, who has risked life and limb , protecting his neighbour's wife and wine collection against the threat of fire. You should be ashamed.

Try and keep on topic or start your own wine appreciation thread on the general board Bitty. Actually, that's not such a bad idea. Anyway, you're a very naughty boy. Bad, very bad.

Thank you.

What is the origin of the shandy?

There is only one way to get off the topic on this thread ...

An extremely good question Redleg .

Back in the sixties before wine became popular it was a "lady' s " alternative to a mixed drink.

Other than that I will bow to superior knowledge.

Often, after playing cricket on very hot days, some blokes had the habit of having a shandy or two first. They reckoned a full beer was too bitter when you were really thirsty.

Strange how this go out of fashion Bbo

I have not seen anyone have a shandy for twenty years or it could be longer.

Of course it may be that I don't mix in the right circles!
