I opened one of my bottles tonight. It's a 500ml bottle, and I'd say it was about 450ml full of beer. I'm glad I opened it over the sink, because I got about 100ml left for the glass.....some of it got onto the worktop and some of it made it's way onto the floor, F1winner-esque. Such is beer. It's ok, i might get some reports from bottles soon.
Honestly, though, I put the same amount of sugar in it as the instructions told me, so it's not my fault.
I finished a book called Unspeak during the week, which discusses the way language has changed recently. It's pointedly concerned with the abuse of language that has evolved in recent times around wars, and invasions - Iraq, Afghanistan etc. Whilst interesting, and well-researched, I found it a little obvious myself. Most people know that words have been spun into new uses recently, renditions, collateral damage and so on being used to frame our view of the news.
That said, it does add a little depth, but overall a slightly tedious read. So, I'm off to warn the poor punters that got bottles....
