Hi craig. I found your post by googling paddy glenny - an old friend and neighbour from my childhood. biwent to new marston county primary and magdalen college school with him and knew him to be a great eccentric with a passion for machines. Having tasted his first homebrew around 1973, I was amused and then impressed when I found him, many years later to have become a master brewer. For many years I kept a bottle of his "little gem" special ale as a memento. aleI was a bit shocked by the end of your message. Has he really been killed by a grizzly? I had been emailing him at the brewery in nelson but have had no reply. Please let me know.

My name is Peter Clark

Great contribution. You got anything useful to say or do you just like typing obscure comments? Me, I'm concerned about an old mate.

"Cheers!"

Yesterday: sweltered in Parisian summer heat, and learned that Parisian hotels and shops don't have the same attitude toward A/C that we have in the States and in England. Here, getting the temp down from 90+F to maybe 85 or so is considered climatis

i'm not quite sure what to do in this situation. on the one hand, you're clearly an asshole, and i really like deleting the accounts of assholes, but on the other hand, i want to hear more about the guy who was eaten by the bear.

It is a quandry, isn't it.

@Mr. High and Mighty Mate of the Guy Eaten By a Bear: maybe you should try a Private Message if you want to direct something to Craig alone and you are so offended by someone gently commenting on the obscurity of your post with a simply Or, maybe you should just piss off.

Watched Brazil lose!

Watched Brazil lose!

Yeah, me too! I was listening when I got up early to drive my daughter to the ferry (she's such a hard worker for a 15 yo on summer break!) and at half time it was Brazil 1 - Holland nil and the Dutchmen sounded beat already. After breakfast I turned it back on and it was already 1 - 2 and I was shocked.

Felipe Melo has a LOT to answer for. What a twat.

No discipline after the 1st Netherlands goal. Its like Brazil stopped being Brazil after that goal

Googled stats on bear attacks.

Welcome to the Apple/HP side of Silicon Valley. Armadillo Willys is horrible, BTW.

Congrat gents!

...dogsbody...

Had to look this up, but it answered my question (what will you be doing there -- more along the lines of brewer or, considering your charismatic nature, PR), more or less. (Swabbing decks, etc. -- more along the lines of the brewing side of things, eh?)

I just received a letter from the U.S. Department of State confirming that I have passed my Top Secret clearance procedure, and I'm on the register for the Foreign Service. Now I just wait for the call.
