Whenever I see buttcombe on tap I have to have it. Apart from being a damn fine beer it brings a smile to the bartender's face.
"Can I have a pint of your best Buttcombe please?" works every time.
Adams is also very good but lacks the comedy value, Fox's Knob has the comedy but isn't such a nice pint.
Ahhhh, beers I have known and loved.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm I lurve buttcombe :cheers: my 'sunday' pub have it from the keg, delish, am trying very hard to persuade my local to get some in but no dice so far :sad:
quite partial to a drop of bishops finger occasionally too

OK I'm probably going to get jumped on for this so in an unprecedented act of self defence, let me first tell you about my personal stance.
I recycle everything I possibly can, I compost whatever is compostable, I grow / hunt a lot of the food I consume, I run my vehicle on biodiesel which I produce myself from waste chip oil destined for the landfill site so my motoring carbon footprint is actually less than zero.
Now to the point.
Humanity induced climate change may be happening, but to nowhere near the extent that is being forced down our necks. if you use google wisely you will find pearls of wisdom such as this:-
Last week, Dr Arthur Robinson, of the University of Oregon, announced to
a packed Washington Press Conference that 31,000 scientists had signed
an online petition challenging the conventional wisdom that man-made C02
emissions were causing 'global warming'.
source:-
Inn my opinion most if not all those scientists who are shouting doom and gloom are simply towing the party line, with either incentive based or politically based bias.
I think there is a tendency here to confuse the recycling issue with the global warming issue. To my mind recycling is an absolute must for every one of us from the cradle to the grave. As has been stated, recourses are running out at a rapid rate, faster even than the government (bless em) are prepared to admit. fossil fuel stocks are already at a critical low and the so called "emergency reserve" doesn't exist. Add to this way all the crap we throw away into the oceans and land fill ..... well that point has already been eloquently made by another poster.
Climate change however is a totally different band wagon that every Joe and his aunt are scrambling onto in order to make a quick buck, our beloved government being the biggest culprit of them all.
The UK produces 2.2% of the worlds CO2 emissions ( source:- )
so as has also been stated, we could switch off the whole country today, ban all cars, lorries, buses, industry, retail, in fact, return to the stone age overnight and the total effect it would have on the global situation would be like tossing a small pebble into a very large lake.
So what's it all about? one word, TAXES

How very odd... I also worked for a young persons organisation where the youngsters were in charge, we also arranged permission for them to turn the front of the building into one huge mural, took them months and turned out fabulous. they also had free range to do what they liked with the interior decor and not surprisingly it too turned into a work of art.
what made me smile was when one day they caught a young rapscallion defacing the outside mural with black marker pen, it was all we could do to stop them ripping his head off :lol2:
My opinion on your original question ...... it can be both. just because in our eyes a particular piece of work is artistic, doesn't make the act of creating it any less criminal if done without permission. I know there are places where the council / authorities then decide to leave it in place as it actually enhances the look of an area but i can't help but ask myself what message this sends out to the taggers and less talented grafittists? <i made that word up >
I was in Belfast in the 70's and yes as Lost pointed out, some of the graffiti was pretty impressive, however when mixed with the other crap that adorned almost every building on every street in every estate it only served to make the place look exactly like what it was, a depressed, war torn, ghettoised s**thole.
Do we really want to encourage that look for our towns, cities and estates? I don't really care as I now live in the country and avoid towns and cities like the plague but I can't imagine its very pleasant for the folk that have to live and work amongst it.

To be fair, how many of us have read the treaty?, I haven't. So if we had a vote on it we would not know what we were voting for.
why read it when it is possible to get your opinion from the mirror and the daily mail. They have coupons:- cut out and keep.
:rotflmao:I've read it, :shock: the few bits of it I can make head or tail of stink to high heaven.
shall we all
to each other as we sail down the river?
