That would be Wizards then.
Holy shit that's it! Is it as weird and crazy as I remember?

Spirited Away - want to watch it for the hundredth time, go to. Princess Mononoke - hella no. And while Luke wasn't happy with the last, he did get it when I told him that in Japan comic books and cartoons aren't just for kids. And I really thought PM was more violent than he'd be able to take.
When I saw both of these at film fests there were kids in the audience and I thought both times that the parents were thinking "cartoons are for children".
In Spirted Away there was a little girl beside me. When the Radish Spirit is in the lift (apologies to those who haven't seen the film) the girl asked her father "is he the bad guy?" The poor little thing couldn't even connect with the story so the images would've been weird and possibly disturbing.
Ditto for Monoke that reminded me in parts of some weird post-apocalyptic sci-fantasy cartoon I saw when I was a kid that disturbed me deeply (think somewhere between The Dark Crystal and Pink Floyd's the Wall

I've tried a cherry beer and I was unimpressed. However, I can't remember anything else about it, so it might have been something crap.
My ladyfriend was in Belgium a while back and had a cherry beer, she was quite impressed.
When I started drinking (legally) old blokes used to drink Stout (Vita Stout?) with a squirt of raspberry in it
This reminds me of a London pub story: I was talking to a publican while he was serving someone else. He poured two beers and then tipped something into each one before handing them over the bar to two guys. "What was that?" I inquired. "Lime," he answered, "it takes the bitterness off. Usually the girls get it but this time it's these two". He jerked his thumb accusingly towards the two patrons who were standing well within earshot.
Nice.

I am adding a lot of beers to my "should try" list. Though I think that was the strength of Beervana in that I didn't have to drop a tenner to try a new beer.
And considering the last few comments, perhaps people could pimp their favourite tipple?
ps. are the mp3 links working?

Especially if what they see is a generic error message rather than a specific "this page is blocked by cleannet here's how to opt-out" message.
Hello, Telecom? Yes, I'm having trouble with my internet access. I seem to be mainly getting 404 errors when I'm surfing. What websites? Ummmm, nevermind.

I just realised that I forgot to link to BrewNZ and the Awards results (pdf)

cannabis remains prohibited
Canadian tourism just took a big hit (no pun intended)

I just realised what's next after the filtering. It will be a publicly available list of "perverts" who opted out. Perfect for employers, reporters, etc etc

Ooo maybe the "p button" is a new Firefox extension

Canada, where you can legally go to a lesbian wedding topless and stoned.
Yeah but who hasn't done that.
I was going to []ress the "u[]side down b" button, but I'm at work and I don't want to get in trouble :)
