That is Toulon, with a great (if small) stadium right next to the port. Lots of atmosphere, they’re really passionate about the game there. The photo was taken early before anyone got there. Here’s a more accurate showing. Toulon was where an English player finished his days, Jonny Wilkinson. You’ve probably not heard of him down under but he became a legend at Toulon… Oh, no, not Jonny Wilkinson. He is certainly a familiar name down here. His kicking defeated the Wallabies in a World Cup Final, IIRC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No good asking me mate, I wouldn't know the first thing about Rugby, Union or League, never watched it because I can't understand it, but as we say, each to their own. Quite frankly I would rather pull up a hair & watch my beer brewing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand all the rules either but I know it has drawn me in since all the nonsense in afl lately 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the blokes in the pub had organised a barbie for afterwards and took it for granted they’d win. “What are we gunna do now?” was the general refrain afterwards. ”Well, we’ve got the meat and the grog, so might as well get pi*ssed and have a barbie” I got loads of drinks bought for me, you’d have thought I’d kicked the shot… Better reaction than when the French lose - they tend to go off in a strop afterwards. Come to think of it, they don’t even stay for a beer even if they win 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Saw a new Chimay in the supermarket over the border in France. Green label. I thought it might be a type of Duval, but no, like a lighter-coloured version of a really heavy dark Trappist (too rich and malty for the Belgian strong pale ale style). Bloody sickly TBH… glad I only got three. Although I probably won’t fob off the other two on the neighbours… A 10 volter as well 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) I went to the Bottle shop for something different while the keg of XPA is carbonating but ended up with a faithful old standby. Very hard to beat for consistency & value. Edited June 1, 2023 by Classic Brewing Co 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried this one from a liquor store, I normally don't go muck on fruit beers, but the cherries had a sweet/tart taste & TBH it wasn't' bad but it is something I couldn't drink a lot of. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
