You, sir, are an imposter. No Northerner would admit to filling his fridge with foreign beer and having a night in.

As far as the big US breweries it's all piss, but there are so many great micro breweries that finding a decent beer isn't that difficult. Anchor Steam from here in San Francisco and Red Hook ESB from Seattle were two of my favorites, Sierra Nevada is a great beer too. Red Stripe from Jamaica, ah... I used to work at a reggae night club in San Francisco, good memories. ....please excuse the reminiscing. Unfortunately I don't drink any more, and haven't had any this century so perhaps things have gone down hill and I'm ignorant of it.  Signature"I don't feel tardy" Steve ¤»Inglo«¤ www.inglostadt.com Yes, Stephen... Bass & Red Stripe are favorites of mine, as well. Red Stripe is smooth and goes well with foods (so do Bohemia & Negro Modelo). Spaten also has a nice lager (and available in the 5 liter kegs). No light beers for me... I like to know when I've had a beer. Several micros exist here in Austin, too. At one time, there was a full-tilt brewery here called Celis. Celis was small but world know until they sold out to Miller. They claimed that Miller would allow them greater distribution. Miller immediately shut down the brewery. My guess is that Miller wanted the Celis name but not a competing product. "Miller, the Microsoft of bottled beers". Kevin Austin, TX > >You, sir, are an imposter.

I have to concur about the Becks, though. In fact I may have to spend the night in (wifey working, and no babysitter) so I may go and get a few bottles. >>"doctor.ratt" <spamsum1else@zen.co.uk> wrote in message >><snip> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > immho, the germans always had the secret with becks, any day of the > week.

You've never tried Samuel Adams Double Bock have you.... 9% ABV and smooth as a babys butt.... http://www.samueladams.com/verification/ >> i must disagree whole-heartedly. us english seem to have 'lost' the >> ability to brew decent beer. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >Best told with australian accent. Monty python live at the superbowl. does >anyone remember the song? -- "The Buffalo Theory" A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kill brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers. > "why is american beer like making love in a canoe sport?" > > "cos their both fuckkin close to water Burce" > > Best told with australian accent.

"Emmanuel Kant was a real pissant Who was very rarely stable Heideggar, Heideggar was a boozy beggar Who could think you under the table" etc? Got the rest of the words if you want em. MP fan through and through. As an aside the song 'Never make fun of an Arab' from the same show seems to be more relevant at the moment >> "why is american beer like making love in a canoe sport?" >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > etc?

McG. >>> "why is american beer like making love in a canoe sport?" >>> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > I'll get me shirt... > McG. Nah. Not at all. TBH I've been ignoring the Desert/Regs posts (I presume that's what you thought I was commenting on)? Personally I supported the war. Was gutted by some of the no-WMD revelations but it didn't change my mind and I still think Saddam is now in the rightful place. However it is obvious to me that Iraq is now going to have a Civil war and we wont change that. UK had one, US had one. Perhaps it's needed before a Country can be united or a democracy can be accepted? Dunno. I am starting to wonder though whether our troops in Iraq should be left sitting in the middle of it. Closer home and ref terrorists we had decades of the IRA - they didnt win. How could they? Same with our modern day suicide bombers. We wont stop them all and they too cannot win - all a bit pointless sadly. Sorry this is completely OT but several pints of Speckled Hen and a third of a very good bottle of port will do that to ya. After 4am here - dont know what time it is over there but have a great (what's left of the) weekend.

Left to their own, they sorted it out. I'm not so sure Iraq or *ANY* of the religious states over there are OK on their own, but that's my opinion. > Closer home and ref terrorists we had decades of the IRA - they didnt > win.

No, they can't win and won't see it. > Sorry this is completely OT but several pints of Speckled Hen and a > third of a very good bottle of port will do that to ya.

I will have a good remainder of the weekend, thanks. McG. > Nah. Not at all. TBH I've been ignoring the Desert/Regs posts (I presume > that's what you thought I was commenting on)?

Then I went to Germany for a weekend, near Bremen where its brewed, and it was as ubiquitous as Guinness in Dublin so I had to drink it. I had to drink a lot of it. And it was really good. So smooth you get pished without noticing and somehow it leaves you with only a shadow of a hangover too...

If you can't work out how to extract the files from BS yourself, or find them on the net (try steampowered forums first), I could put them on a newsgroup for you. =================================================== -----Half-Life High Definition Pack for Steam------ =================================================== About: --------------------------------------------------- This is the High Definition Pack that was included in the release of "Half-Life: Blue Shift". I have taken the pack and ripped the models, sprites and ofcourse the sounds. They are all 100% Steam compatible. ___________________________________________________ Release Information: --------------------------------------------------- Ripper: Leon Product Ripped: High Definition Pack for Half-Life Release Date: 5/21/04 Compression: Zip File Size: 5-6MB ___________________________________________________ Install: --------------------------------------------------- To install simply place the files in your Steam Half-Life folder. Should look something like: X:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\emailaddress\half-life\Valve Then load up and make sure it works. Signaturesteve <AT> steveevans <DOT> org You will need a blue shift cd....do you have one??? If so, you can get it to work np....let me know if you have that cd, if you do...I'll be happy to look up the fix (patch). I was helped from this ng regarding this exact issue about 4-5 months ago. It will take me a bit of time to look up the solution, so if you don't have the BS cd...then I wont need to spend the time. Let me know..... z > Hi, I heard its possible to download a high definition pack for Half-Life. > Had a look on the net but couldn't find it.

I think I just copied the files over from my pre steam valve/sprites folder.... Mess around with it once or twice, you should be able to get lucky as long as the target files are placed in the above directory it should work. Let me know if you can figure it out....if you can't I'll find my blueshift cd and re-install it which I should be able to retrace my steps. I know it was a simple workaround, and I had plenty of people telling me it wouldn't work in steam (just like this thread) but I can send a screan shot to prove it out if you wish... it can be done and it works just like the pre-steam valve version just in steam. let me know how it goes, maybe someone else can be more specific but I think you can stumble accross the solution just knowing the target. If not, I'll be happy to retrace my old steps to get you going. z > Yes, I do have the blue shift CD.... > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> >> z Try this one. It's not the one I posted here before but it seems to follow the same steps. http://xenomorph.net/misc/half_life_hd_pack.php Sam wrote on 7/22/2005 3:42 PM: > Hi, I heard its possible to download a high definition pack for Half-Life. > Had a look on the net but couldn't find it.

That will automcatically impport it. Then download the gfly_uhds.exe from file planet, and you are done. If it fails, make sure the above keys were created properly. Jim |
