It's that time again.

Humbug, whine, winge, complain, moan, grumble.
I'm off to find a nice dry cave until the middle of January!!

Seriously, might I wish all members of V3M - survival during this time of festive fire hazards.

(miserable old fart) Mac.

LOL, yeah, I'm not exactly festive, I'll probably be working or in the workshop anyway most of the time!

Pooles Cavern at yesterdays meet would have been a nice cave for you to hide in, but they'd decorated it for Christmas and a jolly bearded bloke was sat in the corner, not Foggy now he's officially a beardy I might add!

Midsummer Ale (named after Midsummer Boulevard, Central Milton Keynes)

Cock 'n' Bull story (named after the two pubs in Stony Stratford where the phrase originated)

Old Bloomer (named after the class of steam locomotive built in Wolverton in the 19th century)

Mmmm, Concrete Cow Midsummer Ale. Nice.

says he living in Nottingham

whose claims to fame have been a bloke in tights going round robbing people and

Ahem, yep, fair cop.

Sorry this is OT:

"[Nottingham's] Castle Rock Harvest Pale has been heralded as the Champion Beer of Britain, Gold Medal Winner Bitter Category,
at the annual Great British Beer Festival - held at Earls Court In London between 7th and 11th August 2007."

Concrete Cow hadn't even started brewing then. Although it has to be said, they do seem to make nice ales

We're taking the 360 over to the UK on Friday - hope I remember to stick to the right, er, left side of the road! And sticking to 112 km/h is damn' hard, how do you do it?

Merry Christmas everyone and enjoy your beer, I know I will
