I think that writing is a gratification in the true sense of the word in that it isn't very nice doing it, but the seensation of acheivement lasts longer than mere idle pleasures.<br /><br />As for your slow reading, that may well be true, but as a result you appear to retain EVERYTHING in that baldy head, archived forever, comprehensively indexed, readily accessible and usually used to correct something I said while we're having a pint.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09734969599278020673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-28040917941636983882009-08-24T17:23:51.345+01:002009-08-24T17:23:51.345+01:00I have more criteria than whether a beer does or d...I have more criteria than whether a beer does or doesn't smell of vomit.

Burnt sugar, overstewed hops, metallic, sourish edge ?
