There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

Re: The Multifunctionality of Beer
Sure. "Coni" (Conrad) and I stay silent until we've both had 2 beers first. Those formalities out of the way, we start in English (his is from Austrian Uni, with an imitation hi-Brit accent; he sounds, to my ear, like David Niven portraying Colonel Klink - he says my German sounds like a drunken Swabian kindergartener with a deep voice, which makes sense). At 3 beers he starts dropping german terms and phrases into the conversation, and by 4 beers, I'm right there with him - though with incorrect sentence structure and mangled 'die, der, das' usage, which (maybe because of the beers, as Uesugi Kenshin suggests) he forgives.Originally Posted by InsaneApache

We talk sport, weather, politics, gardening, fishing - guy stuff. If we have a 5th beer, my German usually disappears, and we go back to English. :)
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
