Surely not at night. I was thinking that one with the Dino family - think it's called dinosaurs, funny enough, and Earl is the dad, that's all I remember. not the big gay purple f'er...

 

[Pollux]

Dinosaurs is the one you are thinking of...

[Pennywise]

Yeah that's the one, I can't believe it was actually popular

That's right. You used to see the Happy meal toys used as Tow Bar ball covers.

They weren't happy meal toys but actually given as an inclusion for a kids works at Pizza Hut.......I have no idea why I can recall that, but I just remember playing with one at a pizza hut as a child.

Wasn't that the land before time hand puppets?! (I had the set! )

 

[Pollux]

mmmmm, now I'm confused.....

 

[leiothrix]

Pizza Hut definitely did the Dinosaurs ones. I've probably still got a couple in a box under the house somewhere.

Pizza's? They prolly wont be any good to eat now, though you may have a new yeast strain :unsure:

Hey guess what, I have super speed internet at home now. I can load an AHB page in less than 10 mins, in fact it took just 2 seconds to load this page. Now I'd just like to say get fucked to Virgin broadband!

I fucken drove 5ks short of 500 clicks today. And did 6 hours on tools. And gotta drive another 290km tomorrow. And (if I'm allowed further ands) I've gotta front OH&S and Environmental Safety audits tomorrow (audits it is known we will fail) on a job I know nothing about. (Gratuitous) and the accommodation the office has booked is 45km from the site.

So.

The audit ended up being preceded by a progress meeting with the big-knobs. I had not been warned. I had been on the job for a total of 6 hours. Was stoked. This job is months behind, a new program of works had been submitted the day prior and I had not seen it. Looked like a ******* idiot.

Skipping forward to today - was instructed to work against our (shithouse) traffic management plan (and council (and possibly State) regulations) and was busted. Got bent over hardcore then was sold out by my manager in an official email. Supposed to cop the lot, apparently.

Going to have to get my cards amended to Official Company Scapegoat.

Skipping forward to today -

glad you did, the excitement was killing me

Don't expect a tongue scraper from the Hop Stoopid. I enjoyed it but there is no way it tastes more than 60IBU.

Seems silly but check out a Wholefoods supermarket if you get near one. Some of them have a ridiculous selection, cheap and all refrigerated. Range usually rotates a little every few days too.

Duly noted. The Three Floyds Alpha King was pretty darn hoppy - but still not as bitter as some of the APAs I've made (unbalanced as they were).

I have to say, the 60 minute is a new experience in IPA for me - thoroughly balanced to the very end.

I'm so bringing home the Imperial Pilsner bottle. Empty of course.

 

[bum]

Yeah, those ceramic Rogue bottles are magic. I've got one (XS IIPA) and every time I use it that bottle ends up being better than the rest of the batch somehow (I condition my beers in the dark so I'm doubting it is light strike). Weird but true.

 

[bum]

Oh, I just noticed you can get North Coast beers. Try their RIS. It is really bloody nice.
