"My God, what happened to him?" "Looks like he was staked out and then deliberately run over by a Segway about 1,000 times." "But who ... who could do a thing like that?"

Ha! That's my part of the world. Both those beers are nasty, sorry to say.

I'm sure it will make all its lucky owners exstataic.

Brings to mind this immortal classic:

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh baby!

Silver and wood. Got to be good! Best of luck with the new venture Doug. I'm having trouble not picturing an L-2 with a set of Thunderpants in matching grain ...

Happy Birthday!

Tyll's long-lost cousin?

Sorry Greg, just saw this now. It's Steenberg. I reckon those are Sauvignon blocks -- probably their best varietal. The Shiraz is OK too if you like cool-climate expressions. http://www.steenberg-vineyards.co.za/ PS: Licence to hoon!

Ze-ro.

Went to perv the global launch of the latest generation 911, which was going on just up the road. They're verra verra nice, although those tail lights are pure Aston to me.

Went next door to KC to celebrate the publication of this little blurb in some British rag. Drank quite a lot of wine. I'm biased and all, but it is very nice. Although to be fair, you would actually have to bore through several million tonnes of rock to viddy the Atlantic Ocean as described. This inconsequential massif is in the way. Can you see why the cave at the upper left is known as Elephant's Eye?

Went to a "Caribbean Thanksgiving" picnic at my kids' school. They asked me if I'd ever jerked a turkey and I said nope, but I've choked my share of chickens brah.

Happy Birthday Nums!

Happy Birthday Dinny! Give someone you love a hug!

Split a bottle of sauvignon blanc with the wife over lunch at one of the local wine estates. She and the kids have now taken off to a birthday party so I'm sitting at my desk drinking indifferent beer and listening to Mark Knopfler.

Happy Birthday Chris, notwithstanding. All the best to Meaghan.

Happy Birthday Mikey!

Gin and coffee. The Mumford & Sons. Think I'll stick with wine, thanks. (PS: Not my cat or headphones.)
