Eight Ace Kit

[The Cardinal]

One of my favorite characters in Viz comic is Octavius Tinsworth Federidge Ace (Eight Ace for short). In most 'episodes' he drinks Eight cans of Ace Lager which cost £1.49 from Mr Patel's local 24-hour nano-mart. This gets him absolutely bladdered. Anyway, I was wondering if there are any 40 pint kits of 'Ace' available so that I can brew a few up and replicate his antics?

You'll have to spend the winter living in the shed acclimatising yourself to his lifestlye.

Pull up a seat, draw a pint from the barrel or open a bottle sit comfy and relax.

After reading Viz (in the heady days of the early to mid 80's before the advent of political correctness and before Virgin media buying Viz and making them appologise to the "UK Federation of Gipsy's" for the comic stip called "Thieving Gipsy Bastard"). I wish there was a "Federation for Not so moderate Drinkers" that could also ask for an appology from said comic for 8Ace.

As a man of advancing years as well as waist line due to the HB* I wish to dispel the myth that all those in search of the £1.49 per litre which equates to appox 8 ACE are donky jacket wearing, social needs housing alchies that do not and cannot hold down a job.

I digress slightly but I set the mood.

About 4 years ago before I move to a tranquil part of Devon I had the fortune or misfortune to live next door (or shall we say in the grounds of a well to do family) with my wife and stepson.

This well to do family consisted of an Ex Commander from the Royal Navy, his wife their, 2 dogs , a croquet Law, 2 F'ing huge ponds, a tennis court and what ever the F**K an abouretum was (of which I now know is something to do with trees and S**t).

Before we moved in to the grounds (a barn conversion into a 3 bed property) we were cordially invited for drinks by said family. As one would think "Outstanding drinking neighbours" even though they where quiet detached from us, with a croquet lawn garage etc between us.

Anyway in this so called abouretum (trees and s**t) where places of reflection (seats or benches) and of course trees grass and the like (your seeing what I am seeing now and thus far wiser than me). Over the proceeding 2 to 3 years we lived there we realised what they had done.

This ones doooooooozzzzeyyyy

The arbouretum etc was their own little Jacksons Wonderland. It was their theme Park. Most evenings they (being him and his wife and dogs) would find their own park bench, in their own park drink Merrydown and be P***D at current rates £1.99 per liter but close to 8ace. Forget the what goes on behind closed doors, have a look at the garden before moving nextdoor.

I suppose the moral is no matter what station in life you are there's always the compfort of 8ace and a park bench.

This is no exageration of the truth, so watch out 8ACE your the next on the PC chopping block.........................

On the subject of disappointed neighbourly expectations I have to add that I'm more than a little annoyed at the little buggers next door to me. They're a bunch of three postgraduate students so one would hope that they're of average intelligence if not slightly above. I awoke one morning this week to find one of the silly kids chopping down all of this year's new growth from the raspberry canes which separate our gardens and leaving all the old wood which fruited this year. Said old wood will die back and rot away over the winter and with all of this year's wood in the wheelie bin we will have no raspberries next year, just a load of unsightly twigs.

I don't know how much money has been spent on this boy's education but it seems to me he could have learnt a lot more from a few weekends in the garden with his grandfather (which never seemed to do me any harm!)

So the man who has nothing lives in the park and sits on the bench to drink his hooch, the man who has everything goes and builds his own...deep
