thanks chaps, disk bulge i think, i'm hoping a)it's nothing more serious, b) that it's bad enough that they'll put me under the knife.... Been over a year on and off, but mainly on since November, and i've been in bed since boxing day despite all the painkillers - literally been working from bed (off my face) in meetings etc with a virtual backdrop of an office, although having seen the court tape from the US last week i might see if i can be a cat next week... if you haven't seen it
A little bit nippy out there this morning,but i can't imagine what climbers go through on Mount Everest.
About to enter the world of home brewing. My Greater Good Brewing Company “Pinter” has arrived and my first brew will be a pub style IPA. Going to take 4 or 5 days to brew followed by 3 or 4 days to condition. According to the brewing tips, an extra day brewing improves the depth of flavour and an extra day conditioning improves the clarity. Not sure I can wait but I’ll give it a go. Not sure 10 pints will last that long between two of us but if it’s a success, I’ll treat myself to another Pinter body so I can have one brewing and conditioning whilst there is one to tap. If it’s really successful, I’ll invest in a third so one brewing, one conditioning and one being drunk. Rugby later with shop bought beer, nibbles and our second cheese selection box from the Cheese Geek. Andy
Got a home brew kit myself at Christmas Brew Dog Punk IPA Haven’t got around to giving it a go as yet, so I’ll be interested in seeming how your works out. Have you done this before?
I remember when Home Brew was "thing" -both wine & beer. I used to knock off my fathers to take and drink with the lads whilst still at school. I guess the pub of Mum & dad was a precursor of the the bank by the same name. Vague memories of bread tasting brews, all cloudy which induced farting. It got us hammered though. Wasn't it a common problem for the bottles to explode all over the place whilst fermenting?
Well I did mine this morning. Just waiting for the filter to dry out before I put it all back together again. Hope I haven’t bolloxed it. This morning I was asked by my daughter in law up in Scotland if I could write up, with ‘authentic biker terminology’ (her words), how someone could make a ‘getaway’ from a robbery on a motorbike as she’s 50,000 words already into writing her first fictional novel. She’s already been published a few times over the past 15 years or so but they are medical books, and she’s always hankered after writing a thriller.
No. The Pinter was my birthday present so an adventure. The Greater Good brewing philosophy is a little bit different. Only 10 pints but a max 2 week brew/conditioning time in a self contained dispenser. Andy
