i forgot you said you're all moving house. sorry i can't be there to help lift boxes.
No problem, pointillist manifestarian. I do recall visiting you in the clinic around 1997 after you tried to move your stove and threw out a vertebral disc. No photos from that time, unfortunately. yes, you're right - it really did mark the end of my stove-tackling days, oh god, my past is really being drenched up here, does this happen to everyone else??? - i think it was 1999, after newly becoming a father myself, when the street talk was of naked women, staircases and mike svoboda. |

good luck with the move, hope all goes smoothly
Moving house is like sliding down a barbed-wire-covered banister. It cannot go smoothly. I'm still at the stage of unpacking the boxes, after two weeks. By the time we've finished it will be time to move on again. Yet another confirmation of the pointlessness of existence I suppose. Hello and welcome, DC. I'm particularly interested in any embarrassing facts you might know about the Chafer. |

If it's any consolation, I have three large boxes living under my piano which still haven't been unpacked since the move before last. |

There is no embarrassing information about me. Literally none. I am clean. I did learn to like beer only after the age of twenty though, so that is, if anything, meta-embarrassing. Then again, my first 20+ years were spent in America, where the beer is made from tap water and Orville Reddenbacher.

Blimey, AC!
I thought American Beer was an oxymoron, but you have opened my eyes (and killed my liver)

No no, Tommo. American beer is a very, very special thing.Traditionally extremely hoppy, complex, and flavorful (roughly in the IPA model, though typically much more robust than the British versions), though over the last couple of decades more breweries are sprouting up that mimic various styles (at the moment, Belgian-ish beers seem to be the fad; a few yrs ago it was (proper) traditional pilsners). Unfortunately, very little of the top American beer makes it to England (only the largest of the 'microbreweries' do any exporting at all), but I've occasionally seen a few good ones over there. I remember the White Horse Pub in London (Ian can tell you where it is -- I really don't have the foggiest idea) having quite a good selection. |

Ehem. I think we need to have a chat about your American beer choices, CD.
Oh yes. Take me under thy wing, o Cassidious one. |

It's in Parsons' Green - also known as the 'Sloaney Pony' - http://www.whitehorsesw6.com/ . There's also a wonderful place for imported beers round the back of Borough Market, but I can't remember the name of it. |

My old stomping grounds in Berkeley California contain a White Horse Inn... a lot going on there that has little to do with beer.
