'Stones' now make a Ginger Beer (about 4.75 alc. vol) that is so excellent that I'm considering starting a petition which forgives them for the calamity which their green ginger wine inflicted on Australia a few decades ago.

Actually Stone's Green Ginger wine has a use.

In a drink created about 1977 by Mike Lovett and David Fairburn of London Scottish Rugby Union Club called a 'Toolkit' you start with a half pint glass:add a vodka and orange, a dark rum, a Stone's Green Ginger, a Jamieson's whisky, and a brandy.

The colour is a 'dusky orange', it tastes good, and after three or so of them you are feeling decidely merry.

The good thing about them is that you don't end up with a hangover the next morning although some people have reported symptoms of unicornitis as if there was a spike growing out through the top of their head.

I think that in this time of economic woes most people could not afford to drink three of these.

I just LOVE the green ginger wine, if I'm feeling poor and desperate for a drink.

Yup, gingerwine and ferrero rocher. :)

<Snacks on Toblerone>

Resurrected for the Toblerone mention and topicality of threads abandoned before they've even begun,

Strawberries, Wimbledon. Chattenooga. Nicholas Parsons. A dirigible. Twinkies.

Nice try ES - but since you refer to mysterious corrections on page 5, I'm not sure it counts.

Nice try Geg, but a connection is nothing like a correction. Don't give up the day job.

What is the mysterious connection between a mysterious connection and a mysterious correction?

What day job?

I have no idea. Would you like one? I have a mysterious connection with a very intriguing offer in Deepest Neepnot...

Good God no, I don't have time for a job, I'd only just worked my way through the readable content of the average library and bookshop when they invented the internet and the home computer.

I suggest you avoid Deepest Neepnot, its where they make all conspiracy theorists go* and given your current frame of mind I'm not sure that would be at all wise.

*Apologies, in advance, to all our readers from Deepest Neepnot.

Conspiracy theorists? I don't like them. They all have it in for me.

I think you'll find that that's a cupboard.

Any body seen the latest copy of the Deepest Neepnot Times? Makes for very informed reading.

Nope. Is it online?

It certainly watches your money, I'll give it that.

A 24 carat guarantee?

I dunno, rabbits and their carats...

Carrots are a good substitute for radar.

My computer beat me at chess, but I won at kickboxing

What? Send carrot waves out and measure their return times?

:P

Don't blame me for carats, it's an addiction okay - I can't help myself.
