I do not drunk much of it.
But I'm very fond of the famous Belgian beers from small breweries.
One of them is
Bon Secours a 8% blond beer from a little place south west of Bruxelles. (Capitol city of belgium)
Also there is a large monestery located on top of the Dutch -Belgian Border
around 3/4 hours of bicycling from our home. There you can buy (and drink in their self service reataurant) a very good triple. (9.5%)
The monestery is known as Achelse Kluis (if you like to try it on google maps. The border is in the garden of the monestery, so part of it is Belgian and part of it lies in the Netherlands.

I don't drink alcohol Ded. Beer tastes so god damn awful. I went to someone's 21st birthday party a few weeks ago and I was the only one there who wasn't a zombie by ten o'clock. You couldn't carry on a conversation with anyone. It was disgusting. The downside of not drinking alcohol is I never have fun at social events!

I thought monesteries brewed monks, not beer...:puzzled:

:biggrin: A lot of monasteries brew beer around here. Makes you wonder. (Like: Why they put the Absolutely Free cover on Freak Out beer)

Pretty bad huh, alcohol parties! Went to one myself last February, was awful! Managed to get home "early" though... 5AM...

Bonny, I think every party in Australia is an alcohol party.

:umm: Pretty nasty... I don't go much to parties, as you can tell... last one was in February and there I saw enough to cancel any appetite for such events for the next few years. Too many people, to little place to sit and the walls were too wet to lean on.

No no no!! go to as many parties as you possibly can bonny and scott!! Stay up all night, every night and Drink as much beer and spirits as you possibly can, for as long as you can! Consume mass quantities!! Then Retch it all up and begin again!!! Be a loyal plastic robot for a world that doesn't care!

Seriously, I live in a college town in 'the great american midwest' and most of these students, their only idea of 'a good time' is to get hammered. In fact, it really has been that way in all my adult life and I've lived all over the us, both coasts, north, south, urban, rural, whatever. America drinks. Not only that, but the generation before me started doing copious amounts of illegal drugs to the point that everyone at least knows or has known or was someone who 'spent years' doing that. Drug use remains widespread. They make fun of it on tv, not that the behavior is stupid, but that the laws are stupid and are broken all over with a wink and a nod, unless someone official who's job it is to enforce that stuff happens to show up. And that the behavior is little more than a 'choice'. Maybe a dangerous choice, but dangerous mostly because what might happen if you get caught -- the law-- not get 'in an accident'. I know enough to know that there is nothing down that road that is not knowable through other means. But because of my travels, I can more easily communicate understanding, empathy with such folk and thereby my word MAY be more influential with them in dire circumstances than that of someone without those experiences. This is my humble experience.
Please hear my plea!

I'd love to drink one of those Belgian beers with you, ded!

I hear you brother, and i'm enjoying hearing your "'Net" voice again Punk. Extremely well said.

Unfortunately, choosing not to be a plastic robot is quite hard. It's a horribly lonely life, even if you value being alone. Real friends are hard to come by and regular plastic social events seem confusing, ridiculous and sad.

One problem with parties is that everybody is too drunk to notice how pathetic everybody is, so the behaviour remains acceptable and happens again at the next party.

Speaking of parties, I just got back from my own 21st. Let's just say it was forced on me. But I really had a nice time and I'm glad it happened. :bouncing:

Happy birthday! How was it?

Thanks! It was nice. We mostly played pool. I planned on watching Donnie Darko on SBS but that didn't happen. I got some wonderful presents.

Ah fun! Though I'm more of a snooker fan actually.

Is it true that you can only play snooker if you wear a vest, moustache and gloves?

You do need a vest and keep the gloves in your pocket... but if you don't have a moustache, like Ronnie O'Sullivan, bushy eyebrows will do just as well.

There is even a player with no hair at all
I must say that is not good.
The tube lights are reflecting trough his head into the camera as if he is wearing a white head number 11

Hahahaha. He will have to watch out for opposition players cueing him in the head after they mistake him for the cue ball.

That's Peter Ebdon...
I experienced the same problems when I made the pictures of ZPZ 2006 in Amsterdam. All those bald people reflect too much of the flash.
