Sierra Nevada

I have this every Friday with my pub lunch, I’m so glad that I found it on tap! It’s a quality lager with a slightly bitter taste, very refreshing and goes well with a burger or Club sandwich. Good stuff from the US of A.

Rooibos

I like my different teas. Rooibos is  one of those healthy teas, high in Antioxidants, lacking in caffeine. Yes it’s South African. Seems like a nice tea for winter time.

Cusquena

Damn fine beer, a cool clean taste (supposedly made from Glacial meltwater 18,000ft up in the Peruvian Andes).

My Blueberry Nights

Seriously, I tried to watch this movie but had to wash the dishes and do the ironing at the same time to even attempt it.

The dialogue is third rate from the very beginning, the acting is atrocious, the film is so full of clichés and really obvious devices masquerading as something deep and meaningful that I felt insulted!

The ingredients were there for at least a half decent movie – the settings, some decent actors, interesting themes…but somehow the result was an amateur level script and pointless over stylised camera work.

Total rubbish. I’d fire my agent.
