Hello, vdf.

How's things?

Bostin' ta. Greene King Suffolk Springer was on offer in Morrisons so I stocked up. Hic.

How's yerself?

After cod and chips followed by a few bottles of real ale, it's a little blowy in here too.

What do you think may have caused that? Too much vinegar on the chips? The tartare sauce?

It was probably that apple I had earlier. I'll see if another bottle of beer fixes it...

I like beer, me.

We discovered a local stack-'em-high-sell-'em-cheap shop this evening. It is doing tiny 275ml bottles of Bombardier (the beer that used to be proud to boast it was only sold in 20 fl oz bottles) at 49p each. I reckon that's about £1 per pint.

I might go back with a trolley and clean them out.

Instead I bought 4 cans of Thwaites Original for £1.49

How's yerself?

Full of 4 cans of Thwaites Original and a couple of pints of home brew.

Apples give me hiccups.

But if I have hiccups and eat an apple, they stop.

There is probably a very good reason for that.

Those of us of northern and central European extraction are genetically disposed (disposed? That's the wrong word, Shirley?) to drinking beer.

Those of our predecessors that declined the new-fangled brewed-grain-drink continued to get parasites and diseases from drinking untreated water, had few children and either died out or become weak and rare.

Those that took to strict adherence to the new (new as in neolithic) philosophy of "don't drink the water, fish fornicate in it" would have been fitter (all those B vitamins) and protected from disease and parasites.

Ergo, those that naturally desire beer were dominant.

We are their ancestors.

It is not our fault we like beer. We are just genetically dis-thingied that way. We are more evolved, that's what it is.

In southern Europe it is ditto but for wine.

I bought some Thwaites this evening as well - a couple of variants of Liberation (one 4.9% and the other 5.2%) and a bottle of Wainwright.

That being the case, cheers!
