UKIP are a perversion, less a political party than an ulcer, gnawing at our our basest fears and instincts, and offering nothing in terms of coherent policy. No depth, and no breadth. They're a tin monkey banging on a broken drum in the dankest corner of a derelict outhouse, distant from...

Yep - I think after a while we'll think the Blair 'dodgy dossier' thing was a bit quaint. Trump doesn't need or even want to see evidence (even sexed up). He's beleaguered at home, mocked everywhere. He needs a good war to boost his ratings. A bit like Maggie did. Having said that. I...

I expect the average Russian liver would laugh in the face of our puny alcopops. Where's Nelson Mandela when you need him....

Mentioning Bosnia doesn't automatically negate someone else’s point of view about the possible strategic significance of a conflict in another part of the world, does it? Something being strategically significant, possibly relating to our need for fossil fuels, doesn't necessarily boil down to...

what are you suggesting then? Strikes on Russia?

Me too. It just went a bit random in the heat of the moment. It might have been more or less. I just thought, I could take the scales in now and weigh what's left.....that'll sort it once and for all. The sweetness wasn't overly pronounced either, but the bitterness was pretty great...

Couldn't resist checking today. Down from 1.042 to 1.014 (3.68%) - 66% attenuation. Will leave for another week. Lots of settled material on the bottom of the FV. Clear pale ale. Tasted sweet then bitter. Nice. Will leave 1 more wk. Will rack before bottling.

at any cost? is it just giving someone a bloody nose?

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

So will this generate a **** storm for May as great as Blair stirred up........assuming you blame individuals?

Perfect :thumb:

Svenito's comment struck a chord with me too. I've read loads of brew day commentaries but nothing so succinct as 1+1=6. Planning and organising your brew day so that it doesn't impede upon family commitments, isn't perceived as a selfish retreat to the "man space" means being realistic about...

Pretty much on the money. The one potential positive is that his wildcard aspect introduces a variable that shakes the status quo, but only if the negotiated outcomes are considered and well-judged. If the bluster leads to negotiated settlements with NK I'll be surprised, but pleased. Trying...

inspired by this i bought a 2nd hand (ancient) paperback copy of this guide for about £2 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1852491078/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 good, on the bog reading :thumb: The 'croning'* can come later. *10 bonus points for the film reference

Thank you for qualifying that...
