Need New Spectacles

[bugshaw]

Went to pub at which there was Beer Festival. The beer brought Roger, and Roger brought Naomi, and I was Provider of Non-Beer-Related Conversation to Naomi. On Friday I will be Provider of Haggis to Naomi, and she will be Cooker and Server of Haggis to us in turn.

Ahem. Appear to have caught a virulent case of Excessive Capitalisation. Will take two aspirin and see if it gets better in the morning.

Pub was v. full. Is difficult to tell real ale fans from geeks! Was able to mostly cheat and spot beer fans by their clutching lists of beer. And not illustrating their conversation by drawing matrix algebra on lists. Is it possible to do matrix algebra on beer?

I caught the bus home from the pub with 20 seconds to spare - the call to drink up is timed just right to alert me to dash out!

As the bus pulled up to one stop, I saw a glamorous person with long dark hair, wearing a black jacket with sparkly sequins all over the shoulders and lapels. But by the time they sat down in the seat in front of me, I realised it was someone wearing a black hoodie top underneath a studded leather jacket....

Alea jacket est.

I saw a barman in Dublin once who could draw formulae in the heads of the Guiness pints he was pulling - does that count?

You can do it with beer on a tabletop.

Better than doing it with beer on a laptop...

I don't think you should get new glasses, that world sounds so much better than reality.

:-)

I'm not that surprised - in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some crossover.

Bound to be.... Most geeks tend to care about what they eat or drink, so if they don't drink real ale, they'll at least have a fondness for good lager, or drink decent ciders, or single malts, or fancy vodkas, or....

Of course, it may just be the company I keep.

Bound to be.... Most real ale fans tend to obsess about something, so if they're not techy geeks, they'll be keen on airplanes, or re-enactment, or canal preservation, or.....

Of course, it may just be the company I keep.
