Hoekom nie? Ek het eek vraag in Fraans geseen. Nie maklik to antwoord nie.
Why not? I've seen one question in French. Not easy to answer.

You can forward those to me, it's my native language.

Nicest beer this week was Blue Moon wheat beer from Denver, CO, purchased from Sainsbury's, Reading, UK.

Nothing wrong with both beer and a good scotch. Preferably some incredibly hoppy IPA or ESB and some Scapa.... mmmm... Oh, look at the time. The sun just went below the yard-arm somewhere on the planet.

I tried this stuff once. The bottle was very promising, just like a champagne bottle. The product inside it was sour enough to take the hair off your cheeks - from the inside. Doesn't travel well, I thought then, but apparently it's meant to be like this
