I think the media is kind of like the Government - we get what we deserve (so us Brits must be very bad indeed). Cheers, Teddy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a community newspaper, we rarely have stories like this in the paper. But when we do, despite all the *tut tutting*, they're the ones that always sell best. I wish they'd read stories we write about government policy decisions and things that really affect their lives directly as closely as the crime/weird stuff, but they don't. And it's always been like this. I remember in journalism class reading a passage from Cicero when he complained the only news from home was gossip, court cases and sporting results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Snarker, have you ever tried any of these? Stone Brewing Co. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! Expensive but good. Anywhere from $4-$6 for a pint here. The best is Ruination IPA followed closely by Arrogant Bastard Ale. Kitty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty I've never tasted their products, but the link to Bastard Ale and the page itself is hysterical.
