Go on , you know you want another poll. Is it 'maggots' or 'magnets'. I could've sworn it was 'maggots' when it first came out.

It's maggots, always was, always will be :D

Actually, I thought the line, "Like a good pinch of snuff." was "Like a good bit of stuff." when I first heard it so it's no wonder people have different variations :)
 

Is it 'maggots' or 'magnets'.

Magnets! Magnets!!! What on earth is a gallon of magnets?

Maggots would make sense to an extent as Sheffield is a keen fishing area and a gallon of maggots may well ensure a good day by the water.

However this does seem slightly tenuous when the other option is a gallon of Magnet, which is a more than acceptable amount of ale and would definitely fill up my senses (or yours). I've had Magnet in Sheffield over the years not so much recently and never viewed it as a particularly Sheffield ale unless of course you know otherwise.
 
lol I nearly fell for it and made a sensible reply. :)


Anyway I will sort of..... Where is the correct option in the pole of "Magnet"?
 
On a train back to wakey so yes but someone had to call him out on this shit.

He's only having a bit of fun yer grumpy ol' git ;)

Just ignore

I for one liked the self-deprecating nature of the post, the irony, the humour and the in-depth incisiveness of the question striking at the heart of one ot the Blade's fans major dilemnas - or should that be dilemmas?

Hmm

I think we need a poll ....

;)

Always a Sheffield delicacy although not all John Smiths houses sold it. Hand pulled was nectar. The original feyting beer long before the Penny Black started selling draft Stella
 
Surely it is "..like a gallon of Maginot.." as in "madge in oh", that makes most sense https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maginot_Line

"....The Maginot Line (French: Ligne Maginot, IPA: [liɲ maʒino]), named after the French Minister of War André Maginot, was a line of concrete fortifications....."

Which would explain the concrete we put in the boots of every player, and explain why we have no pace in the team.......

So maybe it is, "you fill up my fences.." filling the holes of fence posts with concrete?


Anybody???
 
I always found magnet a bit too sweet, my father in law used to drink John Smiths but I preferred Barnsley bitter, this was back in the 70's when beer was proper beer, I think he would have liked some of the real ales you get these days. What was the question?
 
I can't believe this is still a debate.

Its fucking MAGNET!!!

Its a drink, an alcoholic one. The song is about a night out. You drink beer, smoke fags, have some snuff. Then like most nights, you end up calling for grub on the way home.

Never in my life have I drank maggots.

Kids today eh! don't know they're born. All these fruit flavoured ciders to choose from!!! o_O

Penny Black

Used to start the Friday crawl there! God knows why, oh yeh, next to the bus station!
