No honestly Gordy - you'd be amazed at what I remember. It's the "why am I staring into the fridge" things I forget :D

Anyway boys, the Reinheitgebo ensures that the beer is organic, free range and vegetarian - so it's good for you, provided it is taken in sufficient quantities.

Colwyn this purity of the lager notion -free range or otherwise - has to be challenged.  I see myself in this respect as a latter day Frank D Ripper from Dr Strangelove, and in order to prevent harm to my 'precious bodily fluids' I have fore sworn myself off the the Teutonic brew, that seeks to dominate the world for the master race more effectively and efficiently than the Euro.  And so only drink the finest of English beers, and so maintain a 'purity of essence'.

Well your fine English beer is doing you no harm at all and helping you with your thought processes then UBT ?

I eschew this little Englander attitude which prejudices folk against the excellence of Bavarian (and Czech) brews. Drinling only finest English beers must rather restrict your bar hopping in Calis. It wouldn't do you a lot of good in Wales either - missing out on Brains SA ("Skull Attack" ;), Wye Valley Butty Bach and Felin Foel (not pronounced "feeling foul" ;) Double Dragon to point out just a few. I'm not sure the Cornish would let you dabble with St Austell Tribute or Sharp's Doom Bar either.

Have the Belgians upset you Colwyn - their efforts are not too shabby either !

The only times I have been in Belgium was a couple of summers as a hitch-hiker when my main concern was to pass through the place as fast as possible. Oh and I have been to the vast Brussels Airport a few times but I don't count that as it is really a country in its own right which, strangely, is actually larger than Belgium.
