motoring chat: last christmas eve driving home from work i got stuck behind a car that kept slowing down and speeding up to a maximum of about 30mph around country roads despite good conditions. i assumed it was someone pissed and lost but it turned out to be an old man and woman and two dogs enjoying a sort of dashboard picnic and having a nosey at peoples' christmas lights

Jose posted:this wanker was doing barely above 20 in the 30mph bits and i was constantly dropping into 3rd on bends that i can do in 4th at 30 The Class A Surrey Moron Driver is worse. 45mph and tailgating everyone in a 30. 45 for no apparent reason in a nsl zone. 45 in a school zone. Also 45 when overtaking cyclists, riders and pedestrians, badly and over a blind crest. Very angry at other road users but doesn't know why (it's because some of them have read the highway code and remembered some of it, but our subject is unaware of this). Has a complete collection of the works of Jeremy Clarkson in the downstairs loo. Ok now I'm just speculating.

I see crispix has met my parents then. My mum is a bit odd, up until this year when the last one finally died, she exclusively drive ford cosworth RS cars, she was truly a 17 year old boy from Essex trapped in the body of a 60 year old accountant from Yorkshire. I remember the day when she came running into the house all in a fluster, dragged us outside and pointed to her new gleaming white sapphire cosworth with a poo poo eating grin on her face and went "Look children! It's got a spoiler!!!!!" She also owned the only cosworth modified Ford Focus In the world with a dog gate in it. learnincurve fucked around with this message at 09:01 on Oct 7, 2015 |

Fluo posted:It is me Hello Fluo, wondered if I could pick your brain, the missus is doing a master's in brewing science, I'm looking for Xmas presents for her and thought a book or something might be nice, not necessarily a reference book as I'm sure the course has that covered but something relevant to brewing have you got any idea's/recom endations???

The tenancy references have come through, it seems the last step is the agreements. Time to research what poo poo counts as unfair tenancy agreements!

She's turned to me for stellar advice in the running thread like "running is easy, just put one foot in front of the other, but do it quickly" Did you do the run as well?

I did the race I was suffering from a work night out the day before but managed just under an hour which I was happy with Kluliss did really well for her first 10k, it was a challenging course with lots of climb

I cracked 2 hours at my last half but I think the GNR is much more crowded but I'll have another year of running under my belt so who knows. I cant believe you're forcing your wife to do a half marathon before you'll allow her pizza

Gaz2k21 posted:Hello Fluo, Yep I got a recommendations. Like you said she already must have reference books and such to cover the course so I'll categorize my book recommendations: Brewing Element Books Water Yeast Malt Hops They get extremely advance and especially the yeast one is most likely the most indepth book I know on the subject which isn't some University £340 book. Not bought Hops yet but Water, Yeast and Malt are so indepth and interesting (if you're into that etc). I'll use the Yeast one to give you an idea. Just make sure that she doesn't own any of these yet though and her books might cover most of them anyway. Water is pretty outstanding too. Enjoyable Reads / More Causal
Theres alot more books I'd recommend (and alot I wouldn't, been stung a few times with terrible books in the past) but it really depends on what she is into [I bolded the two enjoyable/causal reading ones that I recommend the most]. The Brew Like a Monk / Farmhouse Ales / Wildbrews are enjoyable reads but its mostly about the history of the beer styles and such. American Sour Beers is top of my recommendation list if she wants something enjoyable and interesting. If she wants to just go into mass detail about an malt, hops, water or yeast they are amazing. And Radical Brewing still has a place in my heart and still holds up to today, better than many other books trying to do the same thing [latest one I checked out came out last year and it was totally meh book] Hope this has been helpful, if not let me know and I'll recommend some more vastly different types of brewing books the two bolded are first go to books though. Unless she hates sour beer and already knows every style ideas etc [Radical Brewing also has some Medieval Mead, Middle Eastern mead, Modern mead etc recipes not just tons of info on almost every style of beer] Fluo fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Oct 7, 2015 |

The Big Taff Man posted:Looks like me, Party Boat and Kluliss are having a big meet up at the Great North Run next year Sure, but I'll already be at the end waiting for you because I won't be running it. I'm still suffering from the 10k (I know they'll get easier) but I doubt I'll ever do a half. Except accidentally...but then I also said I'd never do anything stupid like cycle across Scotland, so it's possible that I will at some point have a brain fart and agree to it. Might have to wait until the shin-splints have gone away though :P
