Who Gives a .... Anyway

As a fan of the van der hunks and also aware that pumpkin more or less put micro brewing on the map via dogfish head. I was excited to see that someone else I,e, ceder brew, was producing one too. While the van der hunks is definitely a pumpkin ale this one the pumpkin is more subtle and not the. Dominant flavour. It is is someway a cleaner take on the brew and one that most people will like more that the van der hunks.  Aroma: 8 Flavour: 8 After taste: 7 morishness: 7 Will buy again: 7 total: 37

Wow the cider has a lot of bubbles. Careful when you pour, make sure you do it slowly. It almost wants to explode.  This is a dry cider. Almost so dry you need another sip after taking a sip. Although it is aromaticmally subtle the same cannot be said for the flavour. It's like sitting next to the uncle I never had that stank of fermenting apples. I can see how Rahl Dahj's fantastic Mr Fix could smell Bean so far away.  Aroma: 6 flavour: 9 Mouthfeel: 6 (too bubbly) morishness: 6 will buy again: 6 total: 33 

First time I had Kwak I had to give my left shoe to the waiter  so he would give me a fancy glass. Now to decide how good is the beer without the glass.  Well actually it's superb. In fact it is probably just as good as I remember it in the fancy hour glass shaped glass. It is rich with strong aroma and body and one that is very easy to enjoy more of.  Aroma: 8 Flavour: 9 After taste: 9 Morishness: 9 Will buy again: 9 Total: 44 Great beer by itself or with food. 

This beer is all about memories about the people you enjoyed it with and the times you hmad its cherry is intense almost koolaid intense and that is what us so great about it. Only for special occasions and when having a spicy curry this is a very sweet beer and I love it. For the odd special occasion.  Aroma : 9/10 Flavours: 9-10 Mouth feel/After taste: 7/10 Morishness: 6/10 Will get again 9/10 Total: 40

Taste clean larger with little bitterness almost spring water clarity. Overall a good larger that is clean and enjoyae but nothing special. Nice bottle although should be called happiness since that is what the Buddha is supposed to be on a quest for happiness Aron's 6/10 Flavours 8/10 morishness:  7/10 Mount feel: 7/10 Will get again: 4/10 Overall 32

Mood : Frustrated - hair in clumps on the floor! In a recent post I compared the speed of booking online on the EXTREMELY SUB STANDARD Ster Kinekor site, on the mobile versus the PC. I was able to booked faster on my mobile phone then on my standard PC browser. I have however found one flaw with the online mobile site, you cannot select your seat. So in some of the movies you end up watching a movie so far away it is closer to what on your flat screen at home, and let us not even get on to sound! So we finally have a night off so we can go and see the King's Speech. I climb online to try and book and after 30 mins the site is still loading, not the adverts thought they load instantly. The adverts are for the additional revenue, they obviously desperately need since the website does not work. Perhaps they should look at dis-investing in theaters and become an advert broker. Anyway after pressing reload a few times I decided on another challenge. Is "pirating" a movie q...

Today I heard that another 24 hours news station is going to be opening. What is this obsession we have with other people’s news? Are news channels the ultimate gossip chain, no longer do we have to rely on the grape vine of disrupted fact, now we have people who can report form the scene. But what has happened to the real news, the news that is of significance for more than a day to two or at best a week. When was the last time you saw an item on the news that was taking the world forward. Solving a real problem, preventing multiple deaths of fauna, floral or people (I think we are fauna). Take global warming, the green movement or save the planet for example, who is doing anything besides producing documentaries and movies. When was the last time you heard about even a celeb installing solar power for their house, or how a real person actually did something to save the world on a news channel? And when was the last time anyone took action because of news? The biggest effect this news...

Once you reach the age where sex discovered, most of us are all are levelled by it. Almost everyone does it. But the question I have always asked myself is why. The experts talk about certain chemicals being released, the body going through things that are good for it etc. But recently I have been thinking that perhaps, just like songs, food and smells can stimulate memories, perhaps too that is what sex is. Should I perhaps say organism. But I believe that it is the actual act of sex the anticipation of what is to come (no pun initially intended) is what makes sex that great I remember reading somewhere that an addict gets addicted to the feeling of what is to come, the addictive gambler is addicted to the thought of winning, and actually is depressed by winning, since it means this spin of the wheel, throw of the dice etc is over. Well perhaps the feeling we have during sex is the same feeling we have when we do something we love, not lovemaking but the feeling we get from do...

Have we given control of your lives to the media through the endless programs and real life dramatisms, advertising, sitcoms, 24 hour news. Depeché Mode worded it in “Let me see you stripped” when then said “Let me see you think without your television” Are we obsessed with other peoples lives to deflect from our own? Do we continually need the media to replace the classic town cryer? Perhaps the town crier worked because no one owned him. Who owns the press? The people who spent the most and have made it publicly more, made their deals so public that they become a brand themselves. When was the last time you remember reading an article or seeing a program on TV or hearing something on the radio that had a direct impact on your life today? In Supersize it the movie people remember that it was not the most complimentary towards a leading fast food outlet, they do not talk about the fact that the health company that was assisting the volunteer went under in the middle of the movie, or ...
