More what's on

I noticed my post "What's on" gets more traffic than any other post. So - I continue with the winning formula.

Tonight I'm drinking mostly cider (hard cider if you hail from the USA). This is in honour of local footy (socker for those in then US) team Bristol City FC - who's fans call themselves the Cider Army - and have the most cider-inspired array of songs of any football team in the world. (Thatcher's GOLD - always believe in your soul - you're indestructable... always believe... etc). God, I love this city.

Anyway - BCFC are sponsored by Blackthorn cider - which is okay for a big commercial cider (and they have the money and the excellent sense to sponsor a fine football team), but not as good as say Thatchers (see above hymn of adoration), who make some really fine ciders (Thatchers Gold is actually their high-volume cider and it isn't top-of-the tree) . Or what I'm drinking - which is one I got for Christmas, and is just pure nectar - the real deal. Wow - they have a nice little website too - Pips Cider - although presumably they don't make many bottles. Mine's hand-numbered in biro - 1110. This stuff is just natural fermented apples - like it should be.
