Specifically in General

I don't think that many people have realized how subtle a play on words that little dichotomy is

That's where I'm from

Good place to live the quiet life, good beaches and climate etc, not much going on job wise though. It's easier to get a visa to live there or elsewhere in Oz than Sydney or Melbourne coz everyone wants to go to Sydney and Melbourne...

20-something batches made, no actual failures ... yet. Quality has been much the same as going into a random CAMRA pub and ordering random pints of real ale. You have an idea what you're going to get, but as often as not it is a surprise.

If you like beer, it's fine.

BTW, for those thinking of how it used to be 10, 20 or more year ago ... the quality of the ingredients has improved IMMENSELY and it is not hard to produce good beer at home now.

It is costing me roughly 40p to 50p per pint ... don't tell Gordo.

Friday: Pub followed by FMB bar followed by chippy.

Saturday: get new hard drive for MacBook and upgrade. Possibly get hair cut, if I remember. Tidy flat a bit and sort out assorted papers. Pub etc.

Sunday: Get act together, drive to London, check into hotel, go to pub and contemplate future at NewClientCorp.

Monday: off to NewClientCorp

Couple of rounds of golf. A few games of tennis. Baseball. Ten rounds of so of boxing, bit of 10 pin bowling and maybe a spot of fishing if time allows.
