      but I'm now using my 2 pint tankard and filling it from the barrel so counting is a bit dodgy. Might be more, might be less.
      That can be a problem can't it.

      Also if you didn't know original gravities, guessed quantities, etc whilst making it.

      All out myself, on the old shop bought black stuff.

      Happy Christmas to you and your wife by the way. I do hope the new year sees you some fortune.

        Nah! It's an opportunity! I'm at home, so who's counting the units?

        It was from a familiar kit so I have a fair idea now that this one will be about 4.2%

        Full of B vitamins and iron. Good for you. Good choice.

        Thank you. The Missus booked us a holiday at Xmas ages ago, so a good Christmas is just about guaranteed. As for fortune, I am looking forward to the traditional March public sector "OMIGOD WE'VE GOT AN UNDERSPEND!" recruitment.

          Now back from pub, 4 pints and a 2 hour train journey. Sitting in kitchen with a Bolivar No 3 and a decent bottle of red. Now 2 days away from that code base, thank god for weekends.

              I think that would be fatal to me.
              How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                (Gonzo, any chance of you posting one of these each week as you knock off?)
                You do realise that would be 04:00, 05:00 or 06:00 am depending on the time of year.

                I am not going to encourage people over there to go to the pub at that time of day.

                Besides, what about those from faiths that observe a different sabbath and for whom the weekend is different?

                Anyway, my weekend was going to the cinema on Friday night and watching an awful film, The Time Traveler's Wife [sic].

                Today I have to take Mrs Gonzo to the shops.

                Er, that's it.

                  I never thought it was possible to get to pi55ed on Baileys, 1ltr usually lasts until boxing day.

                    Wot? Every weekend? F**k me, New Zealand is dull. Would you like me to post you a couple of DVDs or would the shock of something different to watch be too much to handle? No wonder there's so many sheep to choose from...
