    ^^ A drop or two may have passed my lips after such shocking idiocy by a certain fireman that misses his old life....

    ...an old hand like you might find the above a little weak on the palette...

    As for red wine...I've just been handed a 1988 Pomerol for free.. the previous owner had it in the cellar for years and wanted to get rid of it...That made my day...week...month...hell made my Year in late Feb!

    Wow. That was very generous of someone. A thousand pound's worth? Will you be drinking it soon or saving it for a special occasion?

    That price is a tad too wow for the Chateau I was given but it was a VERY decent bottle of wine all the same. Certainly not one to be savoured alone. It will be kept for a special occasion, one which I am still trying to think of.....

    ...perhaps the burning down of Terry's dwelling due to an electrical fault?

    ^

    I'm sure a truck load of Thai firemen would arrive in a minute flat to extinguish the fire in the approved Australian/Thai method.

    Not today and stupidly no effing pictures but I was in Roadhouse BBQ, in Bangkok on Friday night and ordered a pint of this stuff...Mirror Pond Pale Ale - Deschutes Brewery | Deschutes Brewery

    It took a while to be served as they had to change the barrel but the fresh barrel was sublime!... loads of deep notes but still floral and a really fresh taste.... well recommended.

    For about a month I've been drinking Gatoraid, cut 50% with water.

    Drank a coke just now. Was like drinking pure sugar.

    Strange how your taste changes with only a month off of soda.

    Ahh yeah man....Id return soda bottles to get money to have either an A&W Rootbeer Float or a Chocolate Shake(Made with real ice cream) from Foster Freeze....The shake was so thick you couldn't suck it up through the straw. Made the 3 mile bike ride on my 1 speed BMX bike worth it...

    Not bad at all. I had one chocolate flavoured on which my youngest drank - 40/100. My wife tried the asli one and found 60/100 and I'd agree with her on the 60/100

    It has a stronger taste, but not in a bad way . . . if you're into milk in a big way and look at research this may be ideal.

    With triple the amount of vitamin C that cow milk has, and anti-colon cancer properties, camel milk is a healthier, locally sourced alternative, research by Dr Hosam Habib and Dr Wassim Ibrahim from UAE University shows.

    Their study found the milk can also reduce hyper-tension when consumed in the form of laban, acting to inhibit the ACE enzyme which is responsible for the condition.

    “It also has an insulin effect, so it is good for those with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes,” said Dr Habib, an expert in human nutrition.

    “It has some protein with a molecular structure similar to insulin. People with diabetes will benefit from it.

    “It can also be isolated to replicate insulin but it’s not been found in what quantities yet.”

    Since 2010, the team has been analysing vitamins, minerals, fats and amino acids in camel milk.

    “It has natural antibiotics like lac-toferrin, which keeps the milk fresh for longer and means bacteria cannot grow quickly like in cow milk,” said Dr Habib.

    In tests, it took only one day for cow milk to go off, compared with four days for the camel milk.

    “To make yogurt with cow milk takes four hours but not less than 10 to 12 hours with camel, proving it takes much longer for the milk to turn. It’s the closest thing to mothers’ milk,” said Dr Habib.

    The team found that while cow milk is on average 3.5 per cent fat, camel has only 2.5 per cent.

    Proponents of the paleo diet have long said humans should not drink cow milk, for reasons including its inflammatory properties.

    “Because of this anti-inflammatory effect, [camel milk] can also prevent colon cancer,” Dr Habib said. “The anti-inflammatory effect is the anti-cancer effect.”

    The team examined the functional properties of camel milk lactoferrin, the main iron-binding protein of the milk, which showed a 56 per cent decline in cancer growth when applied to cancer cells.

    “Lactoferrin seems to have great potential in practical medicine,” Dr Ibrahim said. “The use of lactoferrin in combination with other milk components or drugs may be an increasing consideration.”

    They also found that camel milk lactoferrin showed antioxidant activity and could prevent DNA damage by binding catalytic iron.

    The Camel Milk Association says it can be digested by people with lactose intolerance, although Dr Habib disagrees.

    “It’s still got lactose, though lower amounts, so it is still too much for someone with serious lactose intolerance.”

    Camel milk has greater contents of other vitamins and minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, zinc, iron and manganese.

    It has been used to treat tuberculosis and other lung ailments in Russia, and tuberculosis, dropsy, jaundice and anaemia in India.

    “It is very good for boosting the immune system,” said Dr Habib. “It’s also good for anti-ageing as the high levels of vitamin C protect collagen.”

    Mutasher Al Badry, deputy general manager at Emirates Industry for Camel Milk and Products responsible for the brand Camelicious, says awareness to its benefits is growing.
