While in Germany recently, I observed the intense pouring of Erdinger into a (plastic -well, it was a gig).
Basically, the glass goes ovet the top of the bottle and it’s turned over 180 degrees.
It works in Germany, but made a bit of a (volcano-like) mess in Washington. I’d try again myself, but the last time I attemoted such a feat in our kitchen ended badly.
I was born in Sunderland. I grew up in County Durham, via New Zealand, but in 2004 I moved to Gateshead. It was a pretty random decision and it went tits up.
I say tits up because I moved here with my (second ex) wife (to be at the time). It was never going to work out. And, of course, it didn’t.
But it wasn’t all negative. The relationship might have died a horrible death, but at the end of the day I’m happy. There were a few agonising years, yes, but my time alone was something I needed to pull my head together. And I enjoyed it (once my head was sorted out).
And, after a while, I met my second in command.
As You can see, she’s quite beautiful.
I’m very happy with my second in command. In our little house (which we’ll quite possibly sell).
And I’m very happy in Gateshead. We’ve both been accepted, even though I was born in Sunderland and my second in command likes football (Peterborough and Liverpool) and speaks with a funny accent.
So, we’re now local. We’ve just been to see local blokes (from my local) play in the Academy in town. And they were damn good.
A lot of people from our local pub (the Three Tuns) were there too, showing support.
We were there because we’re local. We live in the Heed.
We have a new iron. I preferred the old one, though; it was lighter and a lot less complicated. However, there are similarities. Yes, the new one has a handle too, and a point at the front. But the new iron is mostly blue, in a retro 90s iMac kind of way. The combustable one also had an old iMac look about it, although it was purple.
I wonder why this particular appliance would retain the semi-transparent 90s look while other devices have long since abandoned it. I may need to research the ironing market to establish whether our new iron is unique or whether an iron specific fashion now persists.
Another noteworthy point about our new iron is that it has a dual purpose. It seems that children may also amuse themselves with it. Yes, although it’s unsuitable for children under the age of eight. I suppose that younger children could face a risk of choking on small parts.
This is, though, a huge design improvement. Our old iron, which also had a dual function (as a flamethrower), would not have been suitable for infants.
