Massive row with the missus yesterday over me playing Ellington quite loud. I guess she doesn't share my musical tastes. Perhaps had I played some Sun Ra or Miles burning out on coke in 70s it would have suited her better.

When a man can't play Duke Ellington in his own home without aggravation, then something is wrong!

So in the spirit of getting in back together, I am going directly to here to sample some fine ales:

After that I am going to move straight on into China town......

I ended up in Ned Kelly's bar, a rum dive generally frequented by the more rougher English ex-pat types, but is small enough that you can just start talking to anyone in there. I was drinking pints of Jupiler and this Dutch guy came in and was obviously several drinks ahead of me. Within two minutes my impression was that he was gay, as we chatted more he told me he was bisexual, so my first impression was partially correct. Anyway, several drinks and interesting conversation on the oil industry, as he was one of these sellers of the oily stuff, he invited me to come and have sex with him, his boyfriend and girlfriend, as he was really into group sex. It wasn't clear who would be supplying the lubricating oil, so naturally I declined.

By 9PM I was back home after stopping-off for some crispy chicken in China town and made it up with the missus. So all's well in the end, including my Ellington collection.

Hepcat, with the Missus it's a war of attrition.
She had every intention of making up, but wants the memory of the row to persist until the next time you are considering playing Ellington when she is around. And even if you play it, it won't be as enjoyable, what with looking over your shoulder...

Was drinking in here the other afternoon :-

Seven ales on now. All were pretty good Windsor and Eton was a good session beer. They are having a beer fest over the Bank Holiday as is the nearby Windsor Castle. A nice co-operative version of the pub.

Hippie

A cloggy bar called the Ned Kelly??? Wtf???

You do know who Ned is I presume?

4F Hepcat · 2013-05-16 11:55:01

It's not an a cloggie bar, it's a expat Brit bar for the working classes, which is interesting because everybody automatically thinks back in the UK if you're working overseas you must be on mega-bucks and a member of the middle classes, which is absolutely not necessarily the case. The class system is alive and well in Europe, good job there's people like me walking the thin line of the class system and using it for my ultimate advantage.

Don't know where the Aussies drink in the Hague, they're not well represented here.

4F Hepcat · 2013-05-16 11:56:03

Of course I know who Ned is, the talking horse of course!

I'm having a few points of Beamish Black Gold in the Marty McGuinness snug bar of me old local here in Boston.

Beamish is indeed a stout, brewed in Cork, rather than Dublin. It is easy to detect the difference between Guinness and Beamish. There used to be a restaurant in Temple Bar, Dublin that served traditional Irish food and Beamish rather than Guinness. I think the owner was from Cork. I used to quite like it but now tend to drink Guinness when in Ireland.

I hardly ever drink these days. Alcohol (like coffee, coke and orange juice) aggravate my throat which is still sensitive after an op last year.

The only things that tempt me when out are Black Isle Brewery's Red Kite ale or a pint of Beamish. A Uni mate from Cork turned me onto it.

Damn good shout lads. You've made me thirsty...

I have just had a cup of redbush tea but the thought of a pint of Beamish is making me thirsty too. I have to drive later so I'll just have another cup of redbush.

Never been a fan of stout, too rich.

Shooey, where do you that get stuff? Shops, private suppliers or harvest it yourself?

The_Shooman · 2013-05-25 08:09:57
