Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Just popped over to Fuerteventura to pick up this bad boy from our enduro pals.
Now we can have trips over there. And will be cool when I go to Portimao in June.
Opens up lots of opportunities.
I brought a trailer over from UK but trailers here need proper paperwork.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Germany is the same for trailers. I've one I have to register, happily it's a shop bought one with a certificate of conformity. I see plenty of home built ones being used on the road so presumably there's either an inspection possibility or grandfathering rights.

You two live in nanny states! In Britain we have the right to a good old-fashioned home-built trailer!

Had same offer again and hoped for better results.Yorick wrote: Fri Mar 06, 2026 10:09 pmHey lads. Gather round..gremlin wrote: Thu Mar 05, 2026 3:52 pm Dead to me.
Bud-fucking-weiser? Even at 50c a bottle I couldn't bring myself...
Look left. Looks right..
Good, the Cockney wanker banker isn't here.
It was shit. Taste was OK but was flat as a fart. Even poured 2 bottles into a glass and hardly a bubble.
Hmm.
Wow. What a difference. Tastes just like I remember

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
It's all mass produced piss. I can't be bothered to Google who owns what but the original beer will be brewed to around 7%-8%. When it's bottled/canned etc, it's diluted to give it the correct ABV for that brand. Several different brands with different ABV's can come from the same batch of beer. An example of this for those in the UK is Carling and Madi, I bet you cant tell the difference in a blind taste test. The Bud in the pic is 5%, get similar beer from Aldi and Lidl and see if there's a difference.Yorick wrote: Thu Apr 30, 2026 6:14 pmHad same offer again and hoped for better results.Yorick wrote: Fri Mar 06, 2026 10:09 pmHey lads.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
I sometimes buy Estrella damm, or should i say Daura Damm as its Gluten free. I could quite happily spend an evening on that stuff as its not like a shitty euro fizz lager, and it makes a nice beer batter. I find the higher the ABV the less the taste so stick to between 4 - 5%. I remember having a beer tasting session in Belgium and when you start getting up to 8 - 9+% its like a bottle of yeast.Pirahna wrote: Thu Apr 30, 2026 9:39 pm

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
I used to love Estrella beers and always drank them Spain where every bar around Tarragona has them. But lately i've gone off of lagers, as I find them all tangy , so I mainly drink cider now.Felix wrote: Fri May 01, 2026 12:22 amI sometimes buy Estrella damm, or should i say Daura Damm as its Gluten free.

I've got a new wardrobe of off-white t-shirts, only really cool and fabulously wealthy people wear off-white.
Only really cool and poor people wear knock offs from Turkey

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
A Horl 3 Cruise.
Picked it a month or so back for my new knives, between a store sale and my companies discount scheme it wasn't as spendy as it could have been.
Super simple to use, super quick results (albeit I'm only touching up 2 month old knives which have been used twice a day) can't fault it really.
