#48.. I know I sometimes spell it the wrong way for the Scots, but was more used to drinking it than trying to remember if had an e in it, always tasted ok to me. Maybe brought me back to life at various times. Cheers JS

I can see it now, and it rolls off the tongue, arise Sir John Saborn ,Newcastle Knight of the realm.

More likely the last few words would be, Newcastle Brown ale prince of the realm. JS
The time I did meet the Queen she was talking to me, and as usual the nosey Parker’s wanted to know what we were talking about , and it was their loss as they never printed it, I was asking about my expenses of getting there and lodgings , which were of course paid for, but just wanted to make sure. Sometimes the truth hurts and they can’t see the wood for the trees . All they had to do was get a lip reader to confirm or not. That’s too easy for the media. I could still sell them the tape for an exorbitant price if they really wanted it. They could be winners or losers as the case may be. Cheers JS

Newcastle Brown, came down from Sunderland to Tilbury on a coaster just to get there for a ship.
No food onboard but about ten cases of that brew.

#51 Should of said in my own memories it was better with an e rather than a p in it ..cheers JS

Ouza probably Victoria , had to have a preferred sense of taste to appreciate it. JS

Flew to Bali with a now long gone airline by the name of Paradise Air.
Only 5.5 hours and they came along with the drinks, we had one.
Then they asked would you like a second, stupid question when you think about it.
Then they came back a third time.
Indonesians are a vey hospitable nation and they like to keep their customers happy.
I was made to drink 14 cans of beer and my wife some 10 Vodka and lemonade.
It is very rude in their culture to say no, what could I do?

Thankfully we had a car waiting to take us to the hotel.

Italy has blocked the export of 250,000 doses of the Astra Zeneca jab to reserve them for European use. Its quite ironic that by European leaders rubbishing the same jab people are refusing to have it. Hope they have plenty of shelves which is where most are being left.

Think it is the shipment of 250,000 AstraZeneca jabs that was meant for Australia.

First time I have ever heard of someone putting the hard word on the Queen.
