    I brought my Sigma twelve-string, my amp and some pedals with me, but found the twelve-string sufficed. The farmhouse is a matter of a few yards from the ocean!

    I'm back in England just now, and raring for the pub. :)

    How much is that in sterling, like £3? Costs me that much for a pint here in the big smoke anyway :(

    Having said that, I managed to buy 4 pints of strong polish lager for £3 from a seriously dodgy looking shop today, which I could only describe as a booze supermarket, so I can't complain.

    these days it's nearer £4. actually over £4 I think.
    But hey...shop booze is not included, that's always cheap :)

    Ah ok, 4 quid is way too much. I paid £3.50 for a bottle of Newcastle Brown in a London pub the other day. I nearly cried. Costs me £1.85 back home in Stratford-upon-Avon.

    I overdid it on Newcaste years ago. :o
    Can't even stand to look at it in the store.
    Bad memories too, I suppose.

    Oh god, I love it so much :o I'd hate it if I overdid it but that has never happened with a beer with me so far, I've only done that with Strongbow and Tequila. I can handle my Newcastle Brown :)

    I have to confess my disappointment Trix. If you come over to London at some point and there's a gathering I'll have to try to wean you back onto it :D

    Fins! How come you used "miles" instead of the kilometers or whatever the queen (and the rest of the world) uses?

    how much is a case of Rhinelander
    http://cheepbeer.blogspot.com/

    the can's label in the picture looks different than the bottle label i knew of when i was a teenager.

    it was 5 bucks a case..24/12 ounce bottles
    if you can imagine what goat urine might taste like
    then you have just sampled Rhinelander

    for Christmas i am sending a case to everyone in this thread


    enjoy fuckers :D

    Well he was in Ireland so I doubt they give a feck what the Queen thinks ;)

    In the UK where we pretend to give a feck what she thinks for some reason we use metric for everything except roadsigns :confused: and measuring beer
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
