Over here I can only get my hands on "regular" sanitizer - its a white powder, called VWP. In the supermarket though is stuff called "Cillit Bang" which is being (heavily) marketed as the best invention since the wheel, it takes dirt off things you didn't even know you had! It releases oxygen...

Quaff is a good word. also "imbibe". There's a pub nearby which has "Imbibing Emporium" on the sign. Sounds so much classier than "Pub" or "Public House" Very important to know alternatives to the word "drink" when playing drinking games, and rules state that you are not allowed to tell people...

Well here in Ireland we talk about "going for a session" to a pub. usually means getting more beers in than you should. I don't think there's any particular drink implied when "on a session", but most of my friends would drink Guinness all night. Until the shots come out!

Monday week I fly to Thailand, and spend 3.5 months in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Possibly Malasia for a bit too. Then fly to Hong Kong and spend 2 months in mainland China. Then 3-4 weeks in Cairns/Brisbane, 2-3 weeks in Sydney, 2 weeks in Fiji and then 3ish months in New Zealand...

Yes I have used the following: Christmas (Dark ale), Diabalo (Duvel clone), Abdij (Trappist style), Tarwe (Wheat beer). They are really really good as kits go. The "downside" is they only make 7/9/9/15litres respectively, rather than 23 litres for usual kits. Some of them take no extra...

Well for what it's worth, in Ireland about 2 or 3 years ago a ban was introduced on smoking in ALL workplaces - pubs, restauraunts, offices - everywhere. I think there were 3 exceptions: Prisons, Mental Hospitals and the (smoking-allocated) bedroom of a hotel (however if you want room service to...

Sure you could do the same yourself for a fraction of the cost! Most breweries have a tour associated with them. Or you could do a "taster" session as a pub crawl.... I won't be doing it I'm afraid... money is hard enough earned without throwing it into someone else's coffers.

I usually use brown sugar - about a teaspoon per 500ml bottle.

I don't know what this fixing spray that you're talking about is, but I have used Hair Spray to seal my labels quite sucessfully. They won't take a dunking in a bucket of ice though, but they handle the condensation from the fridge quite nicely. Glue wise I have used gluestick (we call it pritt...

I've had several of the Baltikas (can't remember the numbers though) - all very drinkable! Some of them go up to around 11%ABV

Holy ****! those prices don't even include flights. do they?? Madness. I have a Round The World ticket for less than the price of most of those. Although I should be in NZ for the "beers down unda" tour!

There are a load of good tutorials on the web which can help - look at the gimp website. One think you may want to try is to use GIMPSHOP instead of GIMP - it's almost the same but it tends to put all the floating windows in one window, a bit like eg Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop would do. The...

But throwing Bud away is not a waste, cos it sure as hell ain't beer. You've all heard that the joke that Bud is like having sex in a canoe - it's fcuking close to water. What I would have done is ever so gently uncap them, fill with HB, reseal, and leave in the fridge for some unsuspecting...

I'm heading to NZ next August/September (going via SE Asia starting January!!) I can't wait. Whereabouts are you in NZ. I'm hoping to get a bit of work there to finance the return leg of the trip, have a years working visa - any idea of the job situation these days? I'll do pretty much anything...

And *thats* why you should always "buy" (of course by buying i mean the liquid that you buy and get a free glass outside of) at least 2 of every glass...

whats on the other side of the dunkel bottle ;)

We don't get haggis in Ireland, and since I've never been to Scotland yet, I've not had the opportunity to try it. yet. We do have black pudding (blood sausage) though - it's great to have a big fryup after a night on the sauce - seriously - next time you're hungover, go to the local Irish bar...

Cigars bleurgh!

ah we do of course, but the bottle looks cool for the muckweiser! :)
