Also, if anyone wants, we can arrange a beer swap, I live in PA and have a decent availability to beer from a lot of breweries from the East coast that are hard to get for you West coast folks, and for you folks in the UK as well. I'd be more than happy to put together a package of "yeast samples for inspection" (as that's what FedEx/UPS want you to call them, no alcohol allowed via the UPSP) of East coast beers in exchange for interesting samples from your local area. IF anyone's interested PM me and we'll set something up.

There are an incredible range of names for beers here in the US from funny and silly, to bordering on offensive... I know of a few due to the crazy liquor laws in various states where either the state or the fed liquor control board told them they couldn't use the name due to such things... I don't remember any off the top of my head, but I do know they exist...Here's a list of beers to be poured at an upcoming event in DC. As you can see some of the names are a bit out there while some are rather descriptive (what fun is that!) Of course mentioning most of these beers will get you kicked right out of a CAMRA event.

Arrogant Bastard Ale from Stone Brewery. That and their Ruination IPA (mmmmm...). Arrogant Bastard is a great name. Also the description of the beer on the bottle is wonderful.
"This is an aggressive beer. You probably won't like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We would suggest that you stick to safer and more familiar territory --- maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at convicing you it's made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beer will give you more sex appeal. Perhaps you think multi-million dollar ad campaigns make a beer tast better. Perhaps you're mouthing your words as you read this...."

Yes they can do! Check out Rogue Ales[/url], sometimes found in Oddbins, also found at the beer stall at Borough Market (perilously close to the fantastic Market Porter bar).Sorry Grant. When you next make it over here, there will be a queue of TSQL monkeys waiting to serve you with a decent beer. I'll be in that queue.
Hell, I'll buy a round or three, I just need to get over there.
No beer for me this weekend though. Scout campout through Sunday followed by a scout district award dinner Sunday night... not a drop of brew in sight.

Yeah the Stone bottles are great, my personal fav is they're Old Gaurdian Barleywine but it takes about 10 minutes to read the entire bottle. Tiny Tiny print and lots of words... Most of which are rather insulting. They're Oaked Bastard and Double Bastard are quite good as well.

In Park City, Utah, they brew Polygamy Porter, in deference to the early Mormons.

It looks like The Rant has run its course.
And from his description of his setup (sync software + 3 application tools + 5 databases), I don't think changing things would be that easy, although it sounds like it might have been fun (aka: an interesting challenge) building it!

One of the biggest things I have learned is, that triggers SUCK unless you are using them to perform Messaging with service broker.
I suspect either his triggers simply need rewriting as set-based or they are being invoked from cursor loops, but... :Whistling:

very funny!
One of my favourites - namewise anyway - over here is Dog's Bo####ks. The graphic on the bottle is hilarious. Not sure if this means the same over the pond, but the expression "That's the Dog's Bo####ks" or alternatively the "Mutts nuts" means it's just the best - but you didn't need that explanation, did you? You only have to say it loud to know what it means! 😀

1[/sup] names like the UK ones do?(1) In a good way, I mean!
My favorite, in nomenclature only, since I've never tried it, is "Old Leghumper", which is sold at my local Kroger here in Richmond. On the label is a picture of a ladies leg with a dog...well...doing just what the name implies.

There's a decent, but inexpensive, single malt scotch called Sheep Dip. Great stuff.

Yes, I agree with you Jeff. But in the end it "appears" that he may have learned somethings from the experience. Let us hope that the engergy expended is not wasted.

Actually, I beleive that he was trying to do remote communications from within his triggers, and from that standpoint, yes they do suck. (Or rahter, remote communications suck, so you shouldn't do that in a trigger).

Heh... hope you're right... you guys spent way more time that I would have wet nursing a dummy with a really bad attitude. And, yes, he's a dummy if he claims to have been writing set based code since, what was it... 1995, because he sure knows next to nothing about SQL especially when it comes to the set based code he claimed to know so much about.
