    I am drinking something I have not had for about 20 years: a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale.

    Last time I had about 12 bottles of it and was as sick as a parrot. Probably in the top 3 alcohol-induced puking sessions I have ever had. I was still chucking up at 2pm the next day. Still, it was a cracking night in the Mean Fiddler that I shall never forget.

    This time I shall just stick to one and see what happens.

      Ooooooooh, I'll never drink Brown Ale again."
      I was taught that by a couple of mercenaries one their way out to Africa when I was a teenager.

        There's nothing wrong with Newcastle Brown, it's what I revert to if I happen to end up in a lager pub where John Smiths (tasteless) is the only bitter option.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                Haven't drunk Newcastle Brown since I was at Uni. Pound a bottle at the union bar.

                  At a previous gig I walked past a Cafe Nero each morning. Actually that's wrong, I never walked past it

                  It got to the point where the barista would see my arrive and then have my order waiting for me by the time I got to the front of the queue, without any verbal communication required.
                  Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

                    You could always work your way through this selection.

                      that's what it's like for me every morning

                      Though back to the point, now drinking a mug of barry's tea
