Things I've learnt today

I do the lisp when speaking Spanish. In Spain. But I do find it phenomenally pretentious when I hear these yummy mummies asking for "chor-ee-thoh" at the deli counter in Waitrose.

Accusing others of being pretentious when you think typing the affected and absurd "inneresting" is a good idea, not being a little hypocritical are we?

And even more inneresting, the longest eruption in the history of vulcanology lasted for 6 years and happened right here in Lanzarote.

Nope. The eruption of Kilauea in Hawaii started in January 1983 and is still going strong.

Kilauea still going after 31 years

So 25 years longer than your piddly effort.

It was in a Guardian quiz.

You saying the Grauniad is wrong?

no they were talking about the other beer "Man Siguel" they just spelt it wrong in the paper.

Surprisingly few supermarket grade beers are brewed where you think. Much of the "foreign" beer sold in the UK, even "european" beer, is brewed here under license. Best bet is to check the bottle.

Of course the beer sold in Spain is most likely brewed somewhere else, possibly even in Spain.

Who cares a monkeys where its brewed. It's where its swigged that innerests one

it makes ones head go rind and rind

I had a bottle or four of Pacifico beer at Wahaca back end of last year, it was very nice.

I also had chicken with a chocolatey type sauce.

It was that sort of night.

If it didn't end with 100% agave anjeo you're not putting the effort in.

And even more inneresting, the longest eruption in the history of vulcanology lasted for 6 years and happened right here in Lanzarote. It is the reason, basically, that the whole south of the island looks like a lava field. Incredibly there is still residual heat from that eruption and earlier today we enjoyed chicken barbecued over volcanic rocks in Timanfaya National Park.

The entire place is like the surface of Mars and, indeed, has featured in several films including 2001 a Space Odyssey. The soon to be released Spielberg sequel to Moby Dick was also filmed here.

Hi GG

Tenerife is like that as well. They filmed bits of Star Wars there. I visited the area around the mountain last year and it is indeed desolate.

Hi DS

Yes, indeed. It is a lovely part of the world. I'd never been before.

I did something today that I've never done before. I played golf. Well, pitch and putt. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Did you get a few holes in when you were out here?
