I've just bought a cheap little netbook to take on my travels.
I'm going to be a 2 laptop household. Gonz will be so proud of me.

When was the last time you bought something you didn't really need but wanted?

I had THE pint of Bombardier recently
It was utter perfection in a glass. Smooth, biscuity tasting, perfection.

Not really much point to this, just thought I'd share.

It is a fine brew when kept well.

Double Header's by RCH, isn't it? Good stuff that
Triple F, you may struggle to find as they're only a small brewery and based in Hampshire (Alton, I think). Don't know how much they ship oop North, but worth looking out for. Their 'Pressed Rat and Warthog' is an excellent dark mild.

If it really tasted like a biscuit
I would consider drinking it. But I suspect it bears no more than a passing biscuity resemblance, and has a rather more 'dogs piss' style flavour like most other beer.

For someone who is quite good with money
I am terrible with money. I'll put money in my savings and live on a strict budget and then I'll see something shiny and go fuck it, I neeeeeed it, and rather than doing the sensible ting and saving up over a couple of months or whatever, I'll buy it then and there and skint myself for weeks to come.

I just got home with two more watches than when I left the house this morning
A silly Bench sideways LED one and a dressy Citizen one.

Bear in mind it might have a switch on the front or side to turn the wireless on and off.
