    Ricky Valance (born 10 April 1939) is a Welsh singer. He is best known for the number one single, "Tell Laura I Love Her", which sold over a million copies in 1960.[1]

    1960! Cawb' where have all years gone.
    Absolutely, a lot of beer has flowed down the urinals since then.

    How do, chaps!

    Well, I've been away for a while thanks to a malfunctioning PC and a self-enforced internet exile due to finals... so, what have I missed?

    I'm confused. And slightly scared.

    Hello there! Haven't been here for awhile, and I see a lot has happened since.
    But to make up for my absence, I thought you guys might like a taste of a native beverage from the Philippines. Enjoy!

    Lambanog is a Philippine alcoholic beverage most commonly described as coconut wine or coconut vodka. The drink is distilled from the sap of the unopened coconut flower, and is known for its potency and high alcohol content (80 and 90 proof). Because of the abundance of coconut trees and the inexpensive distilling process in making lambanog, the drink is known as "the poor man's drink". Farmers often wind down by drinking lambanog after a long day’s work. In most parts of the country, drinking lambanog is usually a communal thing – men sit around in a circle and take turns drinking shots from a cup placed in the middle of the group. Usually, there is also someone singing and playing the guitar to add to the festivities; he takes his turn at drinking too, so the music gets more interesting as the drinking goes on.

    I thought I'd give you guys the 'tourists' pack. But I guess you'd appreciate more the Native one:
