OT: BEER

"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it
helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but
at the very least you need a beer."

Yes, there's nothing new about people getting slopped up on alcohol. There
are of course these famous Hogarth paintings to show this is has been going
on for centuries.

Our modern news media seem to think that hurricanes, floods, alcoholism,
murders, yobs, robberies and so on are products of the modern age, but in
reality we live in the safest era of all time. I had to laugh when some old
bloke on the local radio said that there wasn't all this violence during the
war!

As for a beer belly there isn't really such a thing - I'm still waiting for
one and I've been drinking beer for 30 odd years :-)

Indeed. Any blobbiness of the belly is a symptom of Unsufficient Cycling
Syndrome.

I like the comment about beer, "doth make a man fatte, and doth inflate the
belly".

Are you sure you've got the right NG?, no BEER drinkers here

Au contraire mon frere ;-) Myself and Larrers are very partial to a bottle
of Worthington White Shield, which is available at Tesco BTW Dave.

now that's something I've not seen in aeons; However the journey home
from Tesco on a Trice would IMO render it undrinkable. What always
makes me laugh is the continentals who think you're supposed to pour
the yeast on top having methodically poured the BEER out of the bottle
without disturbing the sediment.

Yes, opening a bottle of WWS after it had been shaken up on your trice
doesn't bear thinking about :-)

apparently there is a drinking game called The Beer Hunter where you
all sit round a table and open cans of beer right next to your face;
one of which has been thrown down the stairs ;-)

I'll have you know beer is a high carbohydrate, low fat, isotonic sports
drink. Well, I always ride faster after a beer :-)

I would make some sort of comment about the USA, along the lines of not
having beer, but they do of course have microbreweries.

Very fine - but for a worrying lack of the mention of CURRY.

No, indeed. The Romans noted the tendency of the males in Germanic tribes to
`unman themselves' with beer.
