The Good Beer's Guide
Sheffield wife of Paul Beer claims he does not take enough exercise while drinking too heavily. Paul has countered his wife's allegations by setting up a swimming pool in his garden.
Paul's wife Pauline Beer horrified by the cost of Paul's swimming pool demanded the outdoor shower she had always dreamed of, anxious to keep the peace Paul duly had one installed.
Paul's American Cousin Bud Light heard about Paul's new pool and decided to show the family his new theme park so invited them to his Florida Ranch.
Of the family members who were able to attend Paul and Pauline , Geordie and Geordette Brown from Newcastle, and Paulo and Rose Vino from Milan all enjoyed riding the Bottle Flume, Paul and Pauline can be seen in the nearest car.
Bruce Foster, Bud and Paul's cousin from Brisbane Australia enjoyed cooking on the barbecue while catching up on old times with Bud. Bruce's wife Sheila fell victim to one of Paul's brother inlaw Larry Lager from Birmingham's practical jokes when he threw her hat on to the top of a lamp post. Sheila took this in good spirits although
Larry's wife Paula who was enjoying a dip in the pool at the time with Bourbon Light, and her grown up daughter Soda , was absolutely furious at her husbands behaviour.
Pauline and Paula's Unmarried Sister Paulette Cider always enjoyed her trips to the States because she got to borrow Soda's top of the range rollerblades which were far better than the ones her boyfriend Jonny Walker had bought her for last Christmas
The family always enjoyed Christmas at the Beers. The only downside of the day was Paul showing his slides after christmas dinner.
Jonny Walker and Paulette Cider were to polite to say anything, Most of the other guests left the room
apart from Larry Lager who insisted on doing his Light Ale jokes even though these had been seen many times before.
Paul's long suffering wife Pauline pleaded with Geordie Brown to switch off the projector. Geordie refused as he was enjoying the show so much.
Pauline decided to leave the room to help Geordette and Paula with the dinner pots and watch the christmas edition of Eastenders on the portable TV before any more slides were shown. If you wish to see Paul's slide show click here.
Meanwhile in the kitchen as Geordette finished off the washing up Pauline offered Paula another beer
to which she said yes but whatever you do don't let Larry see that BBC Logo on the telly or we will never hear the end of
his Beer's Broadcasting Company Jokes. Geordette also accepted Pauline's offer of a beer but Geordie and the Lads were so engrossed in the slide show
they didn't hear Pauline ask them.

Sheffield's little known transport history
Astonishingly early experiments with prototype Supertrams met with surprising indifference from the cities population. Perhaps they regretted the loss of the upper deck. An early Supertram is seen in this 1950's view of Wadsley Bridge tram terminus bound for Meadowhall.
The new trams contrast sharply with the more traditional trams.
South Yorkshires ageing Dennis Dominators looked a lot smarter when seen in this 1960's view of High St.
During the low fares period of the 1970's overcrowding on buses could be a
problem. Although the PTE finally settled on high capacity articulated buses other solutions had been previously tried but amongst other problems the number of low railway bridges within the city
limited the use of certain prototypes to just a few routes reducing their effectiveness.
This heavily modified 1969 Park Royal Atlantean can be seen in this view of Harmer Lane outside the now demolished sheaf valley swimming baths. Perhaps they should revive the idea to make Harry Potter feel at home
if he comes to South Yorkshire on a promotional tour for his third film Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban which features a triple decker London RT Bus.
Virgin Cross country trains have a large span of routes throughout the UK.
A Newcastle bound Intercity 125 can be seen in this 2003 view of White Lane tram stop at Gleadless.
A Link between Sheffield Supertram and Manchester Metrolink has long been seen as desirable in some quarters.
A Sheffield tram bound for Meadowhall and a Manchester tram bound for Broadway can be seen in this picture of the mouth of Woodhead tunnel at the Longdendale end,
on the former Woodhead rail route from Manchester to Sheffield. The Woodhead tunnel burrows deep under the pennines between Woodhead and Dunford Bridge therefore escaping the
extreme weather that blight's the surface crossings during harsh winters. The most famous view of a Manchester tram is on the opening credits of the TV soap Coronation Street
where as the Sheffield trams are featured in the 1997 film The Full Monty starring Robert Carlyle.
All Manner of craft can sail up the Sheffield Canal. The QE2 can be seen in this picture Sheffield Canal Basin. Possibly an attempt by Cunards to attract more customers from the local area
onto it's world cruises.
