Woke up with a bit of a start this morning
After an awful lot of beer yesterday in the fair town of Lewes, I was inclined to go into work a little later, with the reasoning that I'd be there until later than normal this evening. Then I remembered I was supposed to meet my students this morning and grumbled to self a bit before staggering out of bed. I've just spent the last 20 minutes or so talking to them and being painfully aware that I'm really quite spaced out this morning. Think I might need some more coffee...unless anyone can recommend something else to focus my currently incongruous thoughts...?

Edit: And just to second Chompy's befuddlement - how the hell is a linux tech question at the top of the popular page?

What were you doing in Lewes?

A friend of mine plays the violin with the procession band for the Mayday Parade
So he invited us down to see it. We accepted the invitation, with the not-too-subtle ulterior motive that it would put us in the same town as the Harvey's Brewery.

I grew up there
It's a nice place. Harveys is a fantastic Brewery. Have you ever been to Bonfire Night there?

Lovely place, though I've never been to the Bonfire Nights
Heard about 'em, though - most notably the one in the year that Greene King bought the Lewes Arms and stopped serving the Sussex Best.

(Sad news on that front, though - having forced GK to reinstate the Harvey's SBB, I arrived there yesterday to find the pub was now owned by Fuller's. At least they've kept the SBB on the pumps, but I'd been hoping for a repeat of the lovely pint of Dark Mild I'd had there on my last visit...)
