What does Flanders say the difference is? And what character is actually drinking cider then? Is this the one:
157. Burns Baby Burns
gs: Rodney Dangerfield (Voice of Larry Burns)
The family goes to an apple mill and on the way home, they see a hitchhiker. Homer wants to pick him up, but Marge is totally against it. Ignoring her Homer picks him up and finds out that he is Mr. Burns' illegitimate son, Larry. He helps Larry get in touch with Burns, but Mr. Burns cannot stand him, because he is boorish, obnoxious, and rude. Mr. Burns tries to get him into a college, but Larry is way too dumb and Mr. Burns decides he wants nothing to do with his son. Homer and Larry are good friends now, so Homer comes up with a plan for Larry to win Mr. Burns' love. He stages a fake kidnapping and Larry stays with Homer in his basement. It becomes a big media event, but when a helicopter spots Homer and Larry, they flee to a movie theater. The police find them there and Larry admits it is a fake kidnapping. When Mr. Burns will still not accept him, Larry goes back home to his family.
b: 17-Nov-1996 pc: 4F05 w: Ian Maxtone-Graham d: Jim Reardon
NOTE: Blackboard: None.
Couch: Five blue balloons (shaped like the Simpsons) float onto the couch and pop.
This episode opens at the Mt. Swartzwelder Historic Cider Mill ("Now 40% Quainter!") -- a tribute to longtime "Simpsons" writer John Swartzwelder.

My mate Andy, from Wiltshire, tells me that he once shared a few pints of scrump with Fred Wedlock in Trowbridge a few years back.
As for Homer, he put his e-mail address up in an episode a while back. I e-mailed him a couple of times - and got a reply! I've sent another one off to him asking for his thoughts on cider. I shall post any response.
And you will know us by the trail of empties.... |

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?

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...

| 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.. |

He must have been drinking cider made with Slack-me-girdle apples. |

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!

Some more famous cider-drinkers, REM - check out the second-to-last line in the second verse of their song Departure (i must have listened to this song 100 times and never noticed until today) -

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.

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

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!

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. |

"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."
