Or Amiraali? Years ago I worked in the old KOFF beer factory in Helsinki. There was a guy who used to drink ten 5 dl cans of strong Amiraali ("the Admiral") beer per day (sic!) while at work. That's 5 liters of strong beer while at work. The expert showed me how to cool them in a cold factory water stream. You know, it's hot to work in a beer factory during the summer. You get thirsty and you need... BEER! The next day I did as instructed and put two big cooled Amiraali cans in my trousers. I was on my way to the toilet to drink them when the German-born boss roared: "Achtung! Hey you there! What''s in there in your pockets? "Nothing sir", I lied. "I know what you're doing! Put them back!" he said. "OK sir", I said - and drank them a while later. Golden memories

A bottle (0.7 liters) of whisky does nothing - what's wrong? Should I drink more?

Much better than Lordi. Dr Feelgood wanted the guitarist

King Henry III of France died on this day 429 years ago, aged 37. His assassin Jacques Clément was killed a day before

Ok - we all die.That means: D_E-A-D. How die, or how not to die, that is the question. What is the MOST interesting way to die, ever? Surely this must be the MOST INTERESTING QUESTION FACING US. Look at the skeleton of a man crushed by an enormous stone while trying to flee the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. He wasn't quick enough. Perhaps a dose of anabolic steroids would have saved him?

No. Petrol has to be burned at the same rate that it is produced. It cannot be stored. Crude oil demand keeps on growing and we have to get rid of petrol somehow. Petrol-fuelled cars are the best way to do it. https://nordic.businessinsider.com/i-talked-to-finlands-only-self-made-energy-billionaire---and-now-i-realize-how-utterly-futile-electric-vehicles-are-in-addressing-climate-change-2017-2/?op=1 If everyone in the world had an E car, everyone would be dead.

Not. E cars are a bad idea. They don't reduce any emissions because the petrol they save will be used somewhere else.

One of the best songs I've ever heard- love the melody and singer. Lyrics are about a romance on a winter day

Finnish actor Tapani Perttu has died at age 78 after years of Parkinson's disease. He was a fine singer too:

I take that as a compliment

France 1-10 Croatia. Long live Croatia. Death to arrogant frog-eaters

No, it's not me, it's our late alcoholic-occultist Reichsführer, unfortunately deceased in 2003. He wrote the classic hymn "Hitler was right" that I have recommended. Nice T-shirt?

No pain, no gain. I never watch Emmerdale (I don't own a TV set - why buy one) but I'm sure British soap is very important and females are often lovely unless too old

I'll laugh my ass off when England loses. L-O-S-E England L-O-S-E. Please, please L-O-S-E. Go go Croatia! Hats off to Croatia. That's because England declared war to Finland in 1939 and later invented Morris Marina and Austin Allegro. And the mad cow disease. And Vauxhall Viva! A real stinker. My dad owned one. He was smart enough to get rid of it. Some guy bought it and soon after its gearbox exploded.

France 0 - Belgium 1 England 1 - Croatia 2
