Darth Limpets Cider Homebrew Extravaganza

Great fun, cheers DL, still don't think I can get back on cider though.
Good to see Chudplug, and Mrs Plug on good drinking form.
The IToy was great fun, Kung Fu mayhem, a great keep fit toy!
Was good to see everyone.

It will be good to see those Half Yard of Ale piccies up on the web!

My first scary trip to the dentist

AAAGGGHHH, no pain, but a lot of discomfort, like when they put at least three drilling type implements in your mouth all at the same time.

The three most unpleasant aspects were however, the bits of tooth spraying out of my mouth, the dribbling like a gimp, and the choking and drowning sesation.

No more sweets, drink more milk, whatever else, just keep brushing my teeth!!!!

(And that was only one filling!)

Newbury Beer Festival

The wheel of time turns, and we found ourselves back at the Newbury Beer Festival.
To summarise, the hog roast ws perahps the best I have ever had, the first one I was allowed to help myself to crackling, yumm!!
We didn't play any drinking games this year, or make Bert eat things, which was a shame, but the organisers appreciated our plan to start with the beer at the top left and work our way down.

I know Darth Limpet would have appreciated a greater range of ciders!

Finally, some advice on good hog roast technique:
=> wait for fresh pig
=> don't be first in line
=> have more than one, its great!

Just a further effort to enhance our growing little community

Some time ago now I introduced my most esteemed compatriot Darth Limpet to a number of online tools which I hoped would enrich his life. I had been using these tools myself, and appreciated how they let me express thoughts and opinions.

The first of those tools was obviously www.blogger.com, and the second, Flickr for online photo sharing.

Now it is time for the next life improving tool, certainly for someone as forgetful as me.

Backpack allows you to create reminders, todo lists, and mini web pages, and you can get automatic reminders texted to your phone. It will help you organise your life.

And you can try it for free!
