Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Ha! Perhaps the meaning of life isn't the number 42? The good news is I still make the odd gallon or 10, it's as rough as a badgers arse but after the first one, nobody gives a shit, I call it 'old spunker'. But my local cider makers rush to clear my orchard and always leave me plenty of samples of juice, cider (the real thing) and the wonderful eau de vie.

Robbored Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Adge spoke fluent Spanish having lived over there for over a year so him preferring Rioja to cider is very possible. That said Mrs Robbo is Nailsea born and bred and served Adge in the Royal Oak in Nailsea many times with pints of cider when she worked behind the bar there as a teenager. They must have sold out of Rioja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 It might be true that he ..... LIKED BOTH! Rioja at home, as pub wine is generally foul, and a pint of scrump when out down the Royal Oak with the boys. Incidentally, I much prefer the sly country humour in the Adge era songs like Twice Daily and Don't Blame I, Blame 'Ee to the chartbusting 'chuck in any West Country cliche' stuff of the later Wurzels.

Tenyards Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Well I've got the book and Adge certainly liked cider...and red wine (though not at the same time mine!). They should be selling the book in the club shop...you can get it www.bristolbooks.org My favourite Adge song is Pill Pill I Love Thee Still....I don't even come from Pill but it brings a tear to my eye...oh and Drink Up Thy Cider when played as the boys leave the field after a home victory...let's hope we hear it again Saturday.
