    AND the whole boll**ks that goes with it. How people are cool and hip to be drinking Ballygobackwards Famous Black Foxhound Stout or some other ****.

    Oh don't get me wrong, scarf wearing, man-bagging, skinny jeans fools need to go away.

    That said, you go into a bar in belgium/germany/holland/france then there are different beers in every one of them.
    But go into a bar in Ireland and its the same 5/6 mass marketed piss-waters in every one of them. Culture here is on volume as opposed to taste.
    Nice to see the craft-beer growth here.

    Well I drink Bud alot, not really the other two as I don't like the taste.

    For me its that I like the refreshing, light taste. I hate most 'craft' beers as they are just too heavy and it tastes like you are drinking fermented bin juice. I like Blue Moon but after two or so, it feels like my stomach has expanded to the size of a basketball.

    AND the whole boll**ks that goes with it. How people are cool and hip to be drinking Ballygobackwards Famous Black Foxhound Stout or some other ****.

    Also, the disdain people have towards these beers as being 'cheap' and piss is totally unfounded. These companies are at the forefront of the brewing technology, people should be impressed by the amount of technology they put into the process. Ok, they put the tech in to reduce cost and improve efficiency. So what? Just because you make beer in some artisan f**king pot in your back yard makes it no more special!

    I also hate all this artisan food sh!te. I marvel at the modern technology used in food technology today, while other people are paying a massive premium for an 'organic' 'handmade' product that gives no benefit.

    Yeah I agree with that alright. More market variety would be great. Although it is getting much better. A great deal of bars today have a decent variety of beers. Maybe not the most obscure draughts but the likes of Erdinger (I wouldn't consider it a mass market piss water) is in most places.

    Why aren't you supposed to button the last button on a waistcoat or jacket?

    If it's not supposed to be buttoned, don't put a button and buttonhole there!

    Seemingly it is the other way around. You are not supposed to close the top button as make the jacket hang wrong. You can close either the middle or bottom button.
    Why are the Kardashians famous?

    I never knew who the Kardashians were, everytime I saw the name mentioned, I always thought it was something to do with Star Trek :o


    My question:
    Does acceleration affect a car crash? Does a car accelerating have more momentum that a car travelling at a set speed? Or at the point of impact of two cars does it only matter what speed they were dong at that point?

    Well she was already famous because of her dad's connection to the trial, that's what made the tape "newsworthy" to begin with.

    Mine is, Why do bank/Post Office robber's ''Squeal'' away at high speed drawing attention etc when a ''Hasty Exit'' would suffice ?:confused:

    Do they though? Or is that just something we're used to seeing on TV and in films to look dramatic? (genuine question as I've never witnessed a bank or post-office robbery)

    In fairness, with a lot of big-name beers and processed food and drink you get a lot of interference that detracts from the taste experience.
    Lots of big brands of orange juice are stored in such a way that both the colour and flavour are lost and are added artificially (I know this is true of Tropicana).
    Most major breweries add stabilizers that make sure that the taste of every batch is exactly the same. I like the little differences you get in different batches from smaller breweries.
    And in general, most processed food is aimed at the mass market and plays it safe, so there's not much interesting going on in terms of taste.

    I don't always cook everything from scratch, but I notice a huge difference in taste and general feeling after eating between processed frozen food and something simple I've made myself with mostly fresh ingredients.

    Still, at least we have stricter regulations on food production than the United States. I never want to eat something contain wood chip as filler.

    If they both crashed at the same speed the accelerating car would have greater mass or kenetic energy or something,I'm guessing.

    Why do Gay people always seem to be giving out about something?
    I work with a Gay and he has been known to give out about stuff, one of the things being people calling him Gabriel instead of Gay.

    oh .... I know this one!!!

    We had a boss years back, and he was a very old-school brit (and old in years too .... told great stories about working in India .... very non PC!!) ..... anyway, he told us about the last button of the waistcoat (we would listen to any of his stories, as it meant 10 mins not working!) and it goes back to Edward VII, who didnt like to button the last one (prob because he was very fat), and then the fashion took off. For a while, it was seen as support for the royalty, and anyone who buttoned the last one was anti-royal ....

    If Andre The Giant could drink an enormous amount of beer in one sitting (supposedly 120+) then could he have attempted the record for the longest wee?

    Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Momentum is Mass x Velocity. The velocity achieved at the time of impact is set at that moment in time regardless of it having accelerated to that velocity a split second earlier or any time in the past. So the answer is no.

    They're at the forefront of marketing, thats it.

    I'm not going to dig it up, as i saw a report on it a long while back: The grain used in the mass-marketed beer is of the cheaper, easier to grow variety. Cost per tonne of their grain is much less than the grain chosen by the craft-beer group, so the point of them being "cheap" is entirely valid.

    Budweiser and a lot of other crappy brands use rice instead of some of the barley. It should barely even be called beer IMO.

    By the way, as much as Belgium has loads of craft breweries, the biggest selling beer there is Jupiler, which is just as bland as any other mass market beer and made by ABInBev.

    Why does Ireland (a country famous for the volume of beer it drinks) drink so much cheap, watery ****? Think budweiser/carlsberg/coors etc.

    Why for decades people got by fine on Guinness, Heineken and Smithwicks.

    But in the past 3 or 4 years, everyone is insistent that we have to like the smoother flavours of this German full bodied beer or the hoppy overtones of that Czech number.

    If it's not supposed to be buttoned, don't put a button and buttonhole there!

    There are a couple of theories but the most accepted one is that Edward VII put on weight and begain undoing the bottom button. Court etiquette then followed suit to make him feel better about his body image.

    Nowadays waistcoats, jackets, etc. are cut so that they hang properly with the bottom button undone.

    On a three button jacket doing the top button is optional. Middle button (or top on two button) should always be closed.
    Why are the Kardashians famous?

    Personally I think it's the same reason Marilyn Monroe and Paris Hilton became famous. There seems to be a subconscious need for femininity in society and they're made famous to satisfy this need.

    Haven't noticed this myself but, if true, it could be lower testosterone/higher estrogen making their personality more psychologically similar to women.

    "The Red Queen" by Matt Ridley hypothesized that each successive son a woman has is about 30% more likely to be gay because the testosterone required to turn a fetus into a boy is poisonous to a woman and her body will be more likely to shut down the process the more she's exposed to it.

    "A billion wicked thoughts" by Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam hypothesized that gay men receive more than normal testosterone in the womb and the excess is converted into estrogen. Since some areas of the brain block testosterone, parts of gay men are hypermasculinised (larger penis on average, higher sex drives, etc.) and some parts are feminised (conversation patterns, vocal tonality, etc.).
