But the bit that still makes me smile is when he was telling me about the situation in an email he put "I neglected to mention that you are off your rocker"!

The only thing resembling beer I could find was a bottle of garlic beer a mate had bought for me from the garlic farm on the Isle of Wight which has start on a cupboard for 4 or 5 weeks.  I kid you not – garlic beer.  So I opened it, raised it, took a big mouthful and I mean a proper one and good god.  Without hesitation sprayed the lot across the kitchen sink.  Jesus that was nasty!  Why did I ever think it might taste nice and I love garlic in cooking.  I can still taste it (shudder). So a brief toast and a big spray for Raven! The sad thing is my mate who bought it likes it – but then he is a copper.
