New tastes
2008-06-15 10:33:00 I am indebted to two good presbyterian friends for improving my palette. First, some years ago, Gordon introduced me to the delights of single malt whisky. Gordon had acquired the taste when his employers put in a new computer system for the Distillers Company. I now drink it when i can afford it from time to time. Islay malts with their peaty flavour are my favorites, plus Talisker from Skye but I will drink any Freemans :-) i am no expert. Do single casks really taste superior to cheaper malts?Bill then introduced me to Belgian beer. IMO English beer is good to quench the thirst, but Belgian is for sipping and savouring. Here is what i brought back from Belgium.Deugniet 7.3%Petrus Goulden tripel 7.5%Chimay Peres Trappistes Tripel 8%Cookie 8%Scotch Silly 8%Vicaris Generaal 8.8%Abbey - Abdij du Val - Dieu Triple 9%Abbey - Abdij van Leffe 9%Balthazar 9%La Trappe Quadrupel 10%The so called Amber Nectar can be put back in the billabong folks.

Belgium rumored to have unlocked, non-exclusive 3G iPhone too
2008-04-25 15:46:00 Not long after rumors that the 3G iPhone would be launched in Italy without an exclusive carrier deal, now comes speculation that a similar plan is being formulated for Belgium. According to Astel.be, not only will the 3G version of the handset be launched soon, all three main carriers - Proximus, Mobistar and BASE - will have access to unlocked iPhones for their customers. One possible reason for this could be Belgium’s law concerning the availability of unlocked, service-free devices. The rumor continues that each of the carriers is currently developing iPhone specific plans, which will include provision for unlimited data and “visual messaging”. That final point could either point to Visual Voicemail, as present on the current iPhone, or to MMS media messaging. Mobistar are said to have secured a two-month exclusivity on the handset, before the other carriers can begin selling it. As with the Italy rumor, there’s little to go on here aside fro...

Gay Brussels Belgium

Puppet fun in Brussels bar
2008-04-20 20:30:00 Affectionately referred to by regulars as "Poech", Poechenellekelder, Flemish for puppet cellar, is a friendly, authentically Belgian bar.The Brussels haunt serves a great selection of draft beer, as well as an interesting range of food.Located a stone's throw from the Mannekin Pis statue, the pleasingly decorated venue features a number of antique decorations and a carved wooden bar. The Guardian describes the decor as "more like a surreal museum than a pub".Prices are reasonable and friendly locals and tourists interact in this lively venue, which serves snacks including a brawn and soft cheese on wheat bread.Manneken Pis, which literally means little man pee, is exactly that - a small bronze fountain sculpture of a little boy peeing.It is often dressed in different costumes, depending on the occasion.One of the Belgian capital's most famous landmarks, it has had a female equivalent called Jeanneke Pis since 1987.
