Re: Decent Recent TV

The Antisocial Network On Netflix

Re: Dangerous beers...

Surely the Guinness in Uganda and also in Ghana comes from the Breweries in Ghana (where all of Africa’s Guinness is made) ;) Mates Dad was head of Quality Control at James Gate (worked his was up from Bottle washer) - O Connors was his opinion. But you’re right about the lines - shorter the lines t...

Re: Dangerous beers...

Gus O’Connors pub in Doolin in Clare serves the best pint of Guinness in the world.

And that’s a confirmed fact

Re: Dangerous beers...

I mostly enjoy Guiness and as the pub three doors down from me won the best Guiness award by the brewery, I typically just wander into there when thirsty. Don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’...

Re: Why are road trips so alluring?

I've also done 3 weeks driving around Queensland and New South Wales before we had kids - booked nothing, just rolled into town and found places to stay etc. I'm 100% with you on the roundtrips. If I make to 65, we're going to take the tax free lump sum of my pension, buy a motorhome in America, ren...

Re: Why are road trips so alluring?

We were somewhat constrained by the nipper in that we couldn't do any stint of more than 2 or 3 hours without a break as it's not good for small children to be in a car seat for that long. But we settled into a rhythm with it. Leave after breakfast - Drive for 3 hours. Stop for lunch for a few hours...

I drove 2500 miles through France and Northern Italy over 3 week with a 9 month old in the back in a Vauxhall Zafira.

Korean, subtitles. Simple love story. But not.

Some beautifully awkward scenes, dripping in warmth and stifled emotion.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. 8.5 12-year gaps out of 10 for me.
I saw a trailer for that and it looked good - will check it out

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers

A big Citroen is always my first thought when someone wants a mile muncher..

But I can see his point :lol: I drove a Passat Estate in black for a year and that was a Hearse

A large Volvo would therefore be my second choice in terms of comfort - S80 maybe or even an S90 if his budget stretches ??
