Hope British Chav's don't hear about It.... They'll want It
It's nasty. Chalky consistency and taste kinda like bad velvetta.

It's not really cheese ... it's more of a cheese wannabe without putting much effort into it.

Whipped cream in a can is wonderful, however.

Do you snort it or eat it?

Wouldn't hurt either way, it's just a lot of air.

Back to Stella.

When I was in Belgium, Stella was, it seemed, popular in some bars. I tried it, and hated it.

Nasty stuff. I thought it was just that the one I tried came from a skunked barrel, or something, but in Belgium, there are so many to choose from, I moved on.

Later, on a trip to the UK, I tried it again at a little Italian restaurant in High Wycomb.

Still tasted skunky.

Later, when they announced Stella in the US, a friend bought some. We tried it, and yup, sure enough, same skunky taste as before.

I don't understand. How can something so foul be so popular?

IF you take a Budweiser in a can, leave it out in the sun for a week, then chill it, and open, it will taste better than a fresh Stella.

I like Stella...but anyway...

Leffe Blond is one of my favorites and I would think they're less popular than Miller Light which I'd say is the equivalent of drinking ice cold horse piss

Highly underrated in some circles. I have found burgers that were heaven on a bun.

But if you ask half the American market about burgers, you will get something about McDonald's or Wendy's or some such.

IF that is your experience with burgers, you have not truly experienced a hamburger.

It's all about marketing. Nobody cares about quality.Ah, yes, burgers, very very underrated, but then again McDonalds and Wendey's should be outlawed but I suppose saving a dollar or two to afford Miller Light is "sublime bliss" for a certain population demographic

I love Stella Artois. I wish I didn't. Since I met Stella a few months ago --- (hate to admit this) --- (well, let's just say) --- there's more of me to love. It will be hard to break our relationship, but summer is coming. Soon. Oh Stella, I hardly knew ye! Hate Leffe, it's just too strong & probably even more calories.

I note, irrelevantly but in passing, that the pristine new school I first occupied the year before taking my school certificate is, I hear, to be demolished, being considered worn out and no longer fit for purpose.

I also note that the pristine new school they built round the corner twenty years later has already been pulled down and replaced with a Football Academy, the original being old and decrepit.

This Is my school. Built In 14 something ( I think ) so It's preserved and will never be demolished. It remained unchanged. It was damn creepy I can tell you.

I see that photo as an enlightened bunch of youths saying "reality is what?"

When I read tarot my eyes take on a similar glow. Freaks the **** out of people... but I don't do it on purpose.

The first headmasters signature Is preserved In the school dated 1581 but I think It was built In 1454. It Is still the main Grammar school although additional buildings were added later.

One thing about It was that It was so cold. Long cold corridors. I could write a book on the reported ghost sightings In there and although I am not a great believer of that, the library In particular used to worry the crap out of me and not some-where I'd go alone.

Of course, as a 11 year old plus, one didn't appreciate such a building then but I am very proud of my school now. So much history attached to It.
