    AAAARRRRGGGHH!!
    Stupid typo of the month in the title - EU PRESIDENCY - NOT US!!
    And no - it wasn't because I was as drunk as a skunk!
    This kind of embarassment leaves me plain cold sober!
    Maybe in a couple of hours I'll be able to drink a beer in a more tranquil mood!

      But the Agency responsible for the story was equal careless - the caption to the pic that accompanies the story describes a "barrel of bear".
      [Maybe that's what the Russians would hand over if they were participants in the EU game.]

        This is a perfect opportunity for you to try out the new "edit your story" feature Tom Drapeau blogged about last week. You may not be able to fix the title on the original story, but you can fix it here on Propeller.

        Methinks you'd rather be a square keg than have only a smidgeon for your pilsner hole.

          Jim - its VERY kind of you to put a smile on my face today!
          Next stop is a trip to the vet with an ailing beast, so I'm not in the most cheerful of moods..
          But that was good!
          i would only alter one word - for "be" substitute "have" - though I'm also quite pernickety about the content too..
          Today's beer news here is that our local brewery is closing.
          This is a cause for celebration because thay make lousy beer which is virtually guaranteed to make you chunder after the 5th half-litre...

            be careful!

            gama has finally shown his hand...revealing a fascist communist socialist corporatist one world syndicalist capitalist proletariat gerontological oligarchy (with supreme leader) and representative window dressing!

            also, a side of fries....and a beer.

              No FRIES - not even "Freedom Fries"!
              Knedliky - dumplings!!
              Bread dumplings, potato dumplings, "hairy dumplings", fruit dumplings..
              In some more lubricated moments I've toyed with taking on McDonalds with "The HAPPY KNEDLIK"!
              Oops! I've just been caught red-handed...
              Accused of plagiarism!
              My partner claims, probably accurately, that this was HER idea..
              Unfortunately she's probably right - I do have a slight tendency to be vague about "business matters" once in a while...

            Yanno, when I saw the "barrel of bear", I had to think about it for a second. When I saw the heading, I thought pc25 was on the loose, and when I saw "Absurdistan" I just laughed. Not at you. It just seems that missteps and errors seem to take on a life of their own sometimes, and Absurdistan was mentioned at the perfect time, LOL! Happens to me a lot. My kids keep notes.
