    Anyone have any nice plans for the weekend? It's almost 8pm on a Friday night and I feel like a nap :pac:. Might get stuck into the backlog of games I have though. No money and no babysitter so it'll be the height of my excitement :P.

    I've never been to a Pride thing. I think it's cause I'm afraid I'll meet Katherine Lynch.

    Think of St. Patricks day, only a gay version of that. So, basically a less camp Paddy's day with better tunes :pac:

    Basically all I listen to on Paddy's day is Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly, so I'm fine for tunes there.

    Glad to hear, the recovery and associated inactivity is the worst part of a surgery as I'm currently discovering.

    If you've any super-specific questions about Berlin, ask away, I'm living in another city close by, have loads of friends in Berlin and as a result, I've been there a LOT (know it far better than I know Dublin tbh :P). Fantastic city to visit!

    Hey man, I intend to use Google Maps (i.e. my phone) at times to get around, do you know what the internet coverage is like?

    I'd expect good coverage around the heart of the city, but I'm staying out toward Berlin-Grunewald and will spend a day in the Grunewald forest so I'm wondering if it's poor in those areas?

    I couldn't sleep last night. I went for a walk at about 7am, a short one, but it cleared my head and after some fresh pastries (om nom) I got some sleep. I'm amazed it's already 4pm, probably because I was watching an MMA fight from China. I think I might meet up with a friend for some quiet drinks. Chieftain IPA, lovely stuff.

    I'm listening to a John Peel recording of Melt Banana now. Great band, but I'd love to have John Peel still alive, the man was a genius when it came to music.

    Was more than edible I have to say ;) They may look disgusting in a jar but those bockwurst are a surprisingly nice substitute.

    Very nice. I've seen variations in its taste but that could just as much be down to me. What I love about it is that it's a fruity beer, with a bit of clarity to the taste but a nice full mouth feel. I find I can drink as much or little of it as I want and be just as happy with it either way. There's definitely far better beers out there but if you just want an honest, decent beer it's hard to beat. It's simple and pleasurable and it's why I often go for it when I'm not looking to broaden my tastes.

    I had the Kinnegar (sp?) Porter at room temperature the other day. It was absolutely lovely. Mabye a few degrees lower would have been better but the smell of it was just gorgeous, one of the nicest porters/stouts I've had in a long time. Expensive in the pub at €6.50 though. For special occasions. I might even rank it better than the O'Hara's stuff.

    And I got in an argument with the guy I was out with, so I cut my Chieftain drinking short. We sorted it out via text but I'm in no mood to head back out again. :(

    I have The Seventh Seal downloaded so I might watch that. Playing chess with the Grim Reaper while the plague ravages around you? \m/

    Ah, sorry to hear you got into an argument :(

    Yeah, I think I had that Kinnegar stout before. One I got a taste of the last day I was out was the Hog's Back OTT, and I'm itching to try a full one to myself because it tasted gorgeous :D

    I watched the Seventh Seal ages ago, good watch! ;)
