Didn't they
give him hormones to give him breasts? And when he'd finished playing with them he killed himself? As sad as it is I pished myself when I saw it on the 100 Greatest Britains..

Dark Ale which, depending on your landlord, more than likely contains the dregs collected from last night. That's why me grandad always has Light Ale to make sure nowts been added to it.

berk => berkshire hunt => ...
