you can't beat a bit of bully

now then


a quite unexpected return to the world of Bullseye, then. make no mistake, this is a subject which shall always remain close to my heart. it's just that apparently it's a bit problematic and controversial, look you see. just north of a year ago, or at least then from now, someone went to the time and trouble of reporting a number of my posts on the subject of Bullseye, having them flagged as "inappropriate". best i proceed with caution.

that could be somewhat (or even slightly) tricky, as i am to speak (well, write) of the subject in respect of a most decidedly if not adult then certainly over eighteen (18) theme. removing any needless sentiment of suspense or excitement for you is to tell you this in part pertains to a beer what has been branded with the beloved Bullseye expanded universe stuff. 


it is simply not so that i go around looking for Bullseye related items, no matter what you may think. nor would it be accurate to say i seek out beer (or other forms of alcohol), for i seldom drink. yes i do have the occasional pint or two, but only when i know i have at least a day clear to recover, and also when i can go and do so (drink) with chums like Eddie Baby and Butch. vessels for drinking from, like this tankard, true, i have a penchant for purchasing, and actually this was the only bit i really wished for. 

how did i find, or in a non-Lewinsky/Clinto way come, across this? just browsing for some rudimentary (and potentially dangerous) equipment for a project one of my (known) children is working on. quite exciting stuff really, but legally wise to not mention so much. anyway, with it being late August, or it may well have been (very) early September, the shops have Christmas gifts on display, and this was sat there amongst such. an instant purchase, of course. mostly for Bullseye but partially as i have always wished to own one of these types of glasses what's called on the label a tankard. 


provenance and cost? it was £6 off of B&M to give the answer to a question you didn't ask in reverse. no idea if that's a good or bad price, really. for me it was a price (well) worth paying just for it featuring Bully out of Bullseye on it. yes it would have been even better if it featured one of the wearing a shirt yet clearly braless ladies off of the animated version of the credits for the show, but you probably aren't allowed to do that sort of thing no more.

should you (for some reason) wish to read one of my (many) posts on the subject of Bullseye yet are a little bit afraid on the link above which links to the 'controversial' ones, well, here you go. as far as i am aware this one has yet to be complained about. it's had several "new" readers too, i suspect people just looking for something to complain about. 


can i provide you with a review, or some sort of reflective description, of the beer? not at this stage no, for i have yet to drink it. likely that i will, especially as the expiry date is only May (possibly June) of next year, which as of now is 2025. for type of beer it says it is a "premium lager", and is 3.4% strength, whatever that actually means. i know i was out once with Eddie Baby and Butch and drank a pub dry of some beer what was north of 5% in strength and i was completely f****d by it, so i dare say that yes i will proceed with some degree of caution. 

yes, indeed (of course) i would love some sort of Bullseye related cigarette or smoking item. we are not allowed such things in this brave new world, though. quite right. just look at how many times people smoke three, maybe even four cigarettes and then drive a car, ploughing in to people and often killing them. every weekend our overstretched (not badly managed) NHS hospitals are inundated with people who(m) have spent an evening recklessly smoking cigarettes and started fights, or had a few cigarettes and then done some improvised DIY. just as well nothing like those things ever happen when people drink beer or other forms of alcohol. 



be super smashing great to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
