Well onceuponatime on the benzworld forum, a contributor(to who's unstated political opinions I had already taken a dislike) described herself, without an ironic intent whatsoever, as a; "member of the Liberal Elite".

Which thankfully I was able to instantly quote, before she realized and attempted to edit her post. i.e. re-write history.

Those kinda people worry me.

And the EC bureaucracy is chock full of them, especially at the top.

Doing what they absolutly know is in our best interests, &  if only we would be docile it would be so much easier.

Beer alert:

 

Fosters, John smith's, strongbow, woodpecker, amstel, brown ale are going to run out by the end of next week.

My mate runs a pub and said that "Magners, Bulmers, woodpecker, strongbow and dark fruit all halted production last night.

 

BOC (gas supplier for beer and soft draught dispense) has just dropped a corker. Along the lines of:
We have enough for now, but if the Co2 supply isn't sorted by the end of July, we might run out." 

 

That means nae beer.

 

Excuse the media source, as they're well known for predicting the worst winter/hottest summer ever, but this one's legit.  https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/976904/World-Cup-beer-warning-panic-co2-shortage

We never did get to the bottom of "we decided "it's" all the lefts fault" . Were you chatting to your conservative pals or was it a well represented group of people from both sides of the political divide?

 

I'm only harking on because it seems to be in fitting with your style.

You do have a phenomenal memory eggs. I really still don't have the foggiest notion why it matters - I'm just an inconsequential nobody with an opinion, like everyone else...

Don't go reminding him that he has a good memory....  He'll go remembering that I promised to call for a yarn last week and still haven't done it!

Yes, I do have a good memory. Why it matters, maybe because you are telling us about a conclusion that "we" came to. Do you think you would get the same reacation if you asked the same questions in a working mans club in the north of England?

 

It's easy to say "we" all agreed when you are talking about a group of like minded people. The problem comes when you have other people pulling the other way.

 

So, like, who were you debating with?

Promises are like pie crusts, easily broken. What one does counts more than what one says.

I myself, edit quite a lot (like the person you were referring to): because I misspell, ”misgrammar” and accidentally miscommunicate quite a bit on first drafts; and I have plenty of afterthoughts to add later as well.

 

Some of the writing I have done (requested by other people for reviews etc) has been edited with my consent or in one case misprinted. ?

 

It’s a knife edge for writers sometimes.

 

But, indeed: the idea of “changing history” through written documentation is a whole other can o’worms though.

 

...

Thankfully the news has shifted to cans of beer now (and bottles and draught) before an imminent shortage of air bubbles.

 

Reminds me of a book I am reading about living on the moon...

 

 

There's an excellent book about living on the moon called 'Steel Beach' by John Varley.

not really into science fiction but after looking at a review it looks like it might be a good read or audiobook..

I don't know, I've never been in a working man's club in the north of England. Are they generally conservative up there? (I mean in the sociological sense of the word, not the British politics sense)
