Yes I like that as well thanks; it makes me want to drink beer and watch Woody Allen though...
The recording predates Woody Allen, but obviously not beer which flowed aplenty in the jazz clubs and dance halls of my youth and which started at the tender age of 17 when I was finally free from school. One of my erstwhile school friends was bought a car on his 17th birthday and a gang of us used to travel around town (there was no breathalyzer in force then) to roadhouses and the like as advertised in The Melody Maker, a paper now defunct and replaced with the NME, which caters for musical illiterates who think the electric guitar is the only instrument ever invented.Quote:

I take it you are referring to the original with Henry Fonda and not some lame remake. A very good film which was the director's (Sydney Lumet) first. I take a more considered approach to such social drama these days but I wouldn't deny that the acting was first rate. I trust that the lager wasn't Carlsberg Special Brew.Quote:

Well, chacun a son gout, as the saying goes, but I have to admit that the Special Brew does guarantee a good night's sleep. There is little to say about German beer, having drunk gallons of it in situe, except that it is just about as good as it gets when it comes to lager type beers, but let's not forget the Belgian brews.Quote:

Of course Belgian beer can never, ever, be beaten in terms of quality, but the German lagers refreshing post-tennis brew is hitting the spot I must say.
Yes, but what happens when the German Reinheitsgebot is overturned for being contrary to European equality laws? At which point, all German beers will be reduced to Europiss.Quote:
