I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. Eyes left, my faithful followers, and peruse the new addition – polls. Yes, you too can now have more feedback on here. Answer many silly questions that I’ll post as and when and then I’ll ridicule you all for not agreeing with me.
I stuck with Bravenet because I’m used to them, but this does mean you have to go to another page for the polls. On the other hand, I can have up to 10 questions at once without them streaming down the left hand edge and requiring much messing with the template every time I update.
As it stands, I’ll mention on a post if there’s a new poll. When I close one, I’ll post the results here (like you’ll care by then), and you can see the current poll(s) listed on the left to see if it’s worth your while popping to the poll page.
Bravenet restricts you to one response per IP address per day. Try not to feck the results, because I’ll only “adjust” them in a George W Bush stylee before publishing them if I don’t like the way it’s gone.
For our first poll – root beer. Is it the bee’s knees, or the horse’s knackers? You decide!
ahhh tis just me being blind 😮 its down the side of the screen…its been a long day
And I bet it was Janetyjanet who put the first “Satan’s own urine” vote.
and the second
and third
and …..
well, it is!
roots of what eh? bet you’ve never thought of that, probably of the germolene plant so it might be useful if you’ve skinned the inside of your gullet & can’t reach with a plaster due to the gag relflex but otherwise, drinking something that tastes like pink medicine is wrong wrong wrong AND it’s from America, need I say more?
away goes your hope then as my regular tipples of favour are: –
* wine (any colour, sparkling or still, I’ll imbibe ’em all)
* ciderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
* Absolut Kurrant vodka (mmm, tastes like Ribena)
other than that, I’m pretty much a water baby, baby
Erm… you click the button. Then it loads and you click one of the options. Then click where it asks you to register your vote.
Unless your work has some kind of filter on it. Try at home.
Good grief, JJ. What do you drink?
And if the response is not “beer” then I give up all hope for you.
I’ll let you off. As far as I’m concerned, “beer” means “alcoholic beverage”. Zoider’s ok in small doses unless it’s Blackthorn in which case it can just be flushed right down the loo. Get Scrumpy Jack instead. Luvverly.
Red wine is evil and is basically a headache in a bottle.
And I don’t do vodka. There are reasons for this. Mind you, they’re the same reasons that I really *shouldn’t* do Brown Ale any more.
is stupid and can’t work your new toy 🙁
need persuading eh (googles “root beer recipe”)
Natural root beer flavor comes from sassafras. Sassafras oil contains relatively large amounts of safrole, which is a liver carcinogen.
The trouble with sassafras is that it contains ‘safrole, a carcinogen (see the NTP 85-002, 1985). Safrole (aka 5-(2-Propenyl)1,3-benzodioxole, aka allylcatechol methylene ether, aka 4-allyl-1,2-methylenedioxybenzene, aka allyldioxybenzene methylene ether, aka m-allylpyrocatechin methylene ether) is about 75% of oil of sassafras. It has been used as a topical antiseptic and a pediculicide (lice treatment). Its oral toxicity in rats is 50% lethality at a dose of 1.95 g per kg.
so they have to use artificial flavourings when they make it now – yum yum – note the phrase ‘topical antiseptic’ – yup, germolene!
Root Beer…?
More like Satan’s Spunk……
And Mosh, you’re welcome to it alll!!!
🙂
So what your’e saying is that the original recipe is still safer to drink than Coke? And it tastes better?
ummm – yeh but no but yeh but no, as I think Coke tastes like ***** as well
why why why
(I can smell an interesting story here)
You’d need to say more to convince me. Anyway, I’m glad you all hate it.
BECAUSE IT MEANS THERE’S MORE FOR ME!!!
