Googling around I found a blast from the past

And I think a "brown eyed girl" or two to balance all the dumb blonds.

First , the classic

Then one I like , even though it is oft referred to as "Guinness for women".

A trip to Kiwi-land will be well rewarded...

Beer !!

Brewed in God's own back yard since 1875

The missus was a bit bored with my drinking and said that I'm only allowed one beer a day over the holiday period ... Kegs are the way to go.

Mrs God doesn't let him drink in the house either eh?

Of course!!!!

That's why he invented allotments and garden sheds. The book of Genesis IMHO is a tad out in translation. Before the "rest" no mention of allotments and or, Banks's.

I suppose a good translator was hard to come by in those days.

Let's adore it's shape, it's half-fullness! Let's get down on our knees and worship!!

Sorry gents, but you are not fair to your beers.

Reason:- photos are of drunken people taking photos of what is pure and healthy. Shame on you all with special exception to “Totster (one of mine, opps, Tank you very big) and cdnvic” for that photo “Maudite, "Beer of the Damned" 8% so you never have to buy a lot.”

Now for real quality photos of beers not that I like then, look no further than below:-

Enough of that one, next please,

Since ads will not be allowed in Thailand soon let me get this one in,

Fantastic beer. Love duvel. Love Leffe too. de Konick... well, most belgian beers are on my "to drink" list.

MASSIVE BIG

Kayo, come to CM and I will take you to #1 Bar - have 7 or 8 Belgian beers in bar including the three above. Begium has got to have the highest density of great beers in the world. I had a book on Beers in Europe that I bought in England and it listed 700 different brands. We used to head there for a three day weekend and work our way through the list of greuze, bocks, double bocks, tripple bocks and steamed mussels - why do you have to eat steamed mussels everytime you drink beer in Belgium

Ahhh Beer - necter of the gods, the lotion of truth

And the finest example of that is from Coopers Brewery South Oz - land on the free (not them bloody convicts like the rest of the country) and

Does anyone remember the beer 'Colt 45? The ad went, 'Every Tom, Dick or Walt who likes the taste of malt, will like the malt in a colt 45!'

Sweet!!!

If you are talking about the Colt 45 from Texas US then yes and it is almost as bad as the one they called Longhorn - evil stuff.

Actually looking at the topic it says "Raro's Very Long Overdue BEER Thread" not ales, stouts, pilsners, or even greuzes.

So who is going to mention it to the wolf that his post is off topic

Hmmm what is that sound of cracking under my feet?

Suiging my friend the wolf posted a link to hobgobblin ALE - ale aint beer. Gotta say the ALE looks really good.

what's a larger lout? A bigger Manchester/Liverpool supporter? I thought it was lager as in the German "to lay down over winter until drinkable in the spring"

Ok to get this back on tap or topic

More of that wonderful Coopers Mmmmmmmm Beer, Ale, Stout, Pilsner - there is a god and she does love us for she gave us beer to make ugly women more attractive.

Brodeur shutout gives Devils series lead

Last Updated: Friday, April 20, 2007 | 10:51 PM ET

CBC Sports

New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur showed why his boss has unwavering faith in him, posting his 21st career playoff shutout Friday to help give the Devils a 3-2 series lead over Tampa Bay.

Brodeur made 31 saves in the 3-0 New Jersey win in Game 5 of the NHL Eastern Conference quarter-final series in East Rutherford.

LONDON (AFP) - Elderly people with dementia could be electronically tagged to make tracking their movements easier, a minister suggested.

ADVERTISEMENT

Science Minister Malcolm Wicks said that the move would give sufferers "freedom to roam around their communities" and would have to be done with permission either from them or their family.

"This is about dignity and independence in old age," he told the BBC.

"They could have the safety and security that they would wish for themselves and certainly their families would feel more reassured."

The Department of Health refused to comment on whether the proposal is likely to become government policy.

Wicks's comments received a cautious welcome from one charity which works with old people.

Kate Jopling, of Help The Aged, said tagging might be a way of helping elderly people with dementia to live more independently.

"At first glance, these proposals may smack of the Big Brother state, but we shouldn't dismiss the potential of new technologies to afford dignity and opportunity to vulnerable older people," she said.

"The key issue would, of course, be the involvement and consent of the individual, and their family and carers, to ensure that the technology means better care -- not just care that's cheaper or more convenient."

But Shami Chakrabarti, director of civil rights group Liberty, warned against "gimmicks" which appear to offer "cheap and quick fixes".

There are currently some 700,000 people with dementia in Britain and the figure is likely to increase to 1.7 million by 2050.

The condition costs the country 17 billion pounds (25 billion euros, 34 billion dollars) a year.

Uniforms not at all unusual

I feel sorry for non-Thai Student, who describes himself/herself, who decries the tradition of wearing uniforms in Thai universities (Postbag, April 8). Uniforms have always been traditional in the Thai educational system, and it is the same in many other countries. This is not unusual.

Anyone applying to a Thai university from outside Thailand should have done his or her research concerning the rules and regulations governing the institution prior to applying. This student obviously has not done so, and chooses instead to complain.
