Beer, chocolate and Rene Magritte?

Hercule Poirot and, er, two bottles of Belgian beer?

I'm happy to see so many Beer enthusiasts.
That's a great site if you don't know it already :

OK, I concede the beer, I am just having a hard time today with Belgians.

We're blessed by a surfeit of excellent real ale in the pub I drink in. It just got a special CAMRA award for 10 years of hosting nothing but outstanding brews. Lovely light ales and the odd yummy stout. Nothing too heavy, and all very drinkable. In fact, I'll be sipping my first of the evening in just over 3 hours! The landlord even knows how to fettle traditionally "difficult" ales like Deuchars. Great food too. Proper home made pies and things, along with real chips made from real potatoes and deep fried in (shock, horror) a chip pan!

And everything's £2 a pint save for nasty chemical lager and Guinness.

Sounds great ! I haven't tried many english beer (but plan to change that since I will propably come to UK for about a month on a business trip later this year ).
Here you can find mostly german and belgian beers. And we do have some good Beer restaurants (some of them have 200+ labels).
As for greek beer most of them are c*** (not the best) (but under the hot summer sun every chilled lager beer tastes like nectar). The best IMO are from the Craft Microbrewery (especially the black,red and smoked beer).
If anyone comes to Greece please feel free to PM for details or to arrange a pub hopping )

I'm feeling green and slimey because my new packs of cards have the word "texas hold em rules included" emblassended on them making them distinguishable from my other packs.

Time to faff around switching boxes I guess.

in at work since 7.40pm....
no coffee....
no breakfast...
still not friday...

but people on the tube this morning, if they're not honking of cheap lager, they're stinkin' of b.o. or the ultimate, backpacks...i'd love to pull their stupid faces off and stamp on them sometimes...take the damned things off, put 'em between your feet...idiots...

the only saving grace, is, i've just found a spare packet of green dragon green tea...but nothing to stew it in...bah....

Today's green and slimey episode:

I've been up all night with stomach cramps after eating a jalepeno laden Mexican dinner.

And after the day I had yesterday, I really did need sleep.

So, my green and slimey thought for the day is:

Why, when I know that Hobgoblin ale and spicy food give me grief, do I throw all thoughts of a happy following day away and indulge like crazy, leaving me all green and slimey?

ah...have some plain yogurt mr seige...or a milkshake...

jalepenos are b*ggers for doing that...

i have one of those stupid Blair sauces, i keep a pot of it in the fridge at work, its rated hotter on the scoville scale than police pepper spray..

i bought it for novelty value...you need less than half a five pence piece's worth to turn any dish into vindaloo rated strength...

Today my boss who normally rates as Mr Fluffy at best has come in to the office as Mr Motivator following a meeting with his Swedish boss yesterday.

This sort of character changing experience does not bode well. I see the words "cost savings" and "down sizing" looming.

Its not the quality of the green slime that changes, only the depth

Green and slimey. Brilliant, Seige.

I'm green and slimey today because I started taking antibiotics (or are they antibacterials?) yesterday and they seem to have made me feel like absolute c*** (not the best) today. Not only have I still got the infection that has caused me immense pain since Sunday, but I now feel like I've got a boa constrictor round my neck making it hard for me to swallow, talk or even breath.

AND I woke up at half six this morning and couldn't get back to sleep - I'm not working til 4 today and won't be home til midnight.

I'm feeling green and slimey today because after making a complaint about how I felt offended by some things that were said, I was told that because nobody else had complained, it must be my problem and because I was thus a minority, nothing would be done.

Oh yes, and that I should learn to laugh.

I'm gob smacked.
