[from tonight's London Evening Standard magazine] "Britney Spears' most recent wedding to dancer Kevin Federline ended with guests changing into tracksuits (the boys' had "pimps"  embroidered on the back) after eating spare ribs and downing cider. ..."
Spare ribs and cider. A classic combination, I think you'll agree (as long as they don't mean american "soft" cider!). Britney is now officially ahead of Christina in my chavbabe league. Honor the Britney. |

I've just had an email from Tom Oliver confirming that The Proclaimers do indeed drink cider and perry! In fact, they take a case home each year at Christmas.

"the Led Zeppelins wrote songs and found inspration in the Welsh countryside. At night they would sit around a fire writing songs and sipping cider around the fire and out would come the guitars."

Gents, as usual, you are right.
I still think it's unlucky to mention the V-word, even if the poetic spirit moves you to it. But, in my experience, bald men often know a lot about cider, so Stipey should probably be given plenty of latitude and a bit of poetic license. |

I think he is talking about very bad stuff in this line, a "bus plunge" doesn't sound too good whatever it is, and buses in general can be dangerous places, avalanches aren't very good, and the fact that Stipey is obviously concerned about being served a pint of vinegar cider next time he is down the Nova Scotia shows that he appreciates a good pint of non-vinegar cider i reckon.
And i want to put him on the list!

If he mentions the V-word in the same sentence as cider, he can't be one of the cider massive, can he? |

Just arrived singapore, san sebastian, spain, 26-hour trip.
Salt lake city, come in spring.
Over the salt flats a hailstorm brought you back to me.
Salt lake city, come in spring.
Over the salt flats a hailstorm brought you back to me.
Here it comes (I’m carried away)
Here it comes (I’m carried away)
Here it comes, back, back.
Departure, godspeed, bless his heart, good boy.
What a f**k-up, what a fighter.
A free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider,
Hung on the line like a poison spider.
Win a eulogy from william greider,
Car crash, ptomaine, disposable lighter,
A bus plunge, avalanche, a vinegar cider.
Free-fall, motorcycle, hang-glider.
Here it comes (I’m carried away)
Here it comes (I’m carried away)
Here it comes, back, back.
Go, go, go, go, yeah.
Well, everybody is young forever.
There’s so much to tell you, so little time.
I’ve come a long way since the whatever,
s**t, I still see a word, think of you.
There is so much that I can’t do, yeah.
You will be young forever.
There’s so much that I can’t do.
There is so much that I can’t do.
Here it comes (I’m carried away)
Here it comes (I’m carried away)
Here it comes, back, back.

I wonder if Senor Beano drinks Sidra in this version?

Bean sounds like an ideal role model for young kids, get em started early. Anyone got a picture of him we can use?
Found this quote on the subject:
’My darling,’ said Mr Fox, ‘I can smell those goons a mile away. I can even smell one from the other. Boggis gives off a filthy stink of rotten chicken-skins. Bunce reeks of goose-livers, and as for Bean, the fumes of apple cider hang around him like poisonous gases.’
from:http://www.puffin.co.uk/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,15_0141311282,00.html?sym=EXC
Sounds like they are making a Mr Fox film too, cider returns to the big screen!

Well the last I heard is that farmer Bean is still waiting for Mr Fox to make a dash for it, and that's been for at least 20 years. So proof that not only does Cider keep you thin, but it obviously gives you all the sustenance you need. Mind you in Bean's case it also makes you a bit delusional - must be on the Wilkins.. |

We will soon be back on the diet cider debate! How did he manage to drink gallons of strong cider and stay thin?! Or maybe it was creative licence from Roald Dahl, who was backing the DMZ campaign by suggesting that drinking cider makes you clever and thin.
Cider's coming home...

Can I nominate Bean, one of the farmers from Rohl Dahl's 'Fantastic Mr Fox'. Bean kept only turkeys in his orchard, and ate nothing but drank gallons of strong cider - 'he was the cleverest of the three and extremely thin' perhaps he ought to write a diet book?
