The struggle to eat well around the Holidays is real
That escalated quickly
But then you can’t do that 2 hour TrainerRoad ride at the office, and…

It’s more ‘British’, who seem to get extra points for spreading ‘u’ around in somewhat unexpected places. But then they seem to have a problem saying ‘aluminum’. In that case they throw in an extra ‘i’ making it ‘aluminium’ yet I have absolutely nothing against the Brits, they made Boddingtons after all, which counts for a lot.

Have you taken the ‘extra’ i out of all the other metals yet? You know; Helum, Lithum, Ron, etc?

Yeah, but it is ˈhēlēəm, ˈliTHēəm, and ˈī(ə)rn. Aluminum is: əˈlo͞omənəm but to the Brits is: əˈluːmɪnɪəm, which in phonetics doesn’t seem right, but I was just kidding anyway. They drive in the right side of the road, which is the left side. It takes some getting used to but makes sense. And who knows, we yanks are probably saying it wrong to begin with. Insert the SNL George Washington sketches…
I have/had a picture of a Boddingtons delivery truck from my visit there. I was tickled to see it. (Saw a whole keg of it too and thought that’s the way to get it as I hate to run out) Also saw some Hoegaargen, another treat when I can find it around here.
For some reason I thought Strongbow was going to be more of the same, but it’s a hard cider, which surprised me for some reason. Not bad, but for some reason I was surprised, and ciders are also huge there too.
Not quite a joke, but I’m sure they get their fair share of yanks trying Strongbow and nearly spitting it out. ![]()
Hourses for corses
My local Safeway used to carry Boddington’s. But they don’t any more. I haz a sad.
How do we know it’s really a private drive and not some guy doing whatever he can to protect his KOM?
