The French and Indian Wars(both sides had Indian allies which included the British and the French), Taxation without Representation in Parliament of American Colonists(American Representatives were denied membership in Parliament), like the Stamp Act, Housing British Troops in private homes instead of a fort... Crazy King George III... Red Coats, Hessian Troops, the Boston tea Party(the real deal aka a protest against taxes levied without American consent)... The 1st 8 US Presidents were born as British Subjects and not American Citizens since there was no USA before 1788. Everyone in North America is the descendant of Immigrants, parts of my paternal family came here from Canada in 1850, from 1820-1850 we lived in Canada, from 1620-1820 we lived in Ireland and I could claim by ancestry Irish Citizenship if I wanted too, before 1620 my family lived in France, in 1944 my dad helped Liberate Paris France from the despised NAZI's...

Taking a short break for my hand to dry out after rinsing out 4 dozen longnecks so that I can prime them up with some dextrose before starting on the other 2 dozen. Cheers. |

Soon to enjoy a pause for thought after juggling older vs present vs UK vs USA specs... Why can't we agree to all use the same metric (or any base 10 with conversion factors = 1) units system?... Did we really have to go the extreme of a world war to agree just what an inch is?! See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

After a couple of interrupts here I'm just waiting for my hands to dry out properly before priming those last 2 dozen bottles then it's just the filling and capping to do. I'm just surprised by those who come out on crappy days, the 1st interruption was a pair wanting to have a few beers with me before borrowing a few tools to get a job done, but after showing them the rain radar and what's coming this way it didn't tale much to talk them into getting their job done before beer o'clock, then about 10mins later another pair turned up, but I talked them into returning in an hour's time as I should be done by then (so long as I get no more interruptions). Cheers. |

Winning after finishing my beer bottling (with 1 more interruption) and now I'm trying to get a quiet beer in before that crew turn up. The 1st drops of rain are now hitting my steel roof, but we should get about another 30mins in before that rain starts to get serious, and the temp here has reached 18C (feels like 17C). Cheers. |
