    @Kruse said in Beer thread:

    @dogmeat I tried one of Double Vision's at the Taranaki Beer Festival - it was excellent. Favourite beer of the day.
    Unfortunately - I can't remember which one it was (they've got three this year). I guess I'll need to go buy some to figure it out.

    I know you’re the man to turn to when it comes to Movie reviews……any chance you can give us a run down on the Beer fest ? That’s one that I’d love to do a roadie to one of these days….

    Thanks in advance.

    It was a while ago... and I was drunk... and I'm a little drunk now... so... fuck it? I'll give it a go?
    Not sure how to review it other than - it's what it says on the tin.
    It's a beer festival - in Taranaki. Taranaki is a prick of a place to get to - so fuck all breweries bother to attend.
    So - you get a mini-Beervana - with a few local breweries that you wouldn't get anywhere else - and not many of the 'bigger' breweries that you get at all the other things like this.
    Maybe 18 beer stalls? 7 or 8 food stalls.
    Oh - and shit - nearly forgot... they set up a professional wrestling ring in the hall as entertainment. C-grade pro-wrestling going on in the background... how the fuck did I nearly forget that?
    The more I think about it - the more I highly recommend. Taranaki breweries that would never go to Beervana or even Hamilton's Great Beer Festival... and C-grade rasslin'. A metric fuck-tonne of pricks wearing Taranaki-Hardcore clothing. Taranaki in a nutshell.

    Spoiler

    My guess was that he had sacrificed something (wife) at Bohemian Grove to get the top ratings. As with many tales of deals with the devil he got what he wished for but not how he wanted it.

    It was an alternative reality in which everyone forgot what they saw on TV, or did they?

    ps. Nixon called Bohemian Grove "the god damnded faggiest thing I'd ever seen". Oh yeah.

    Really enjoyed the James Randi character. Actor was very good. James Adomian is maybe the only person who could have done as well.

    Yep that’s how I saw it

    Interesting about Dickie

    I assume that is relatively straightforward to set up. Never done it

    Two problem crocodiles have been targeted for removal by rangers after one came within "inches" of a marina houseboat resident and two canoeists spotted another while training.

    Heading that way in a couple of weeks so thanks for the heads up ABC.

    So is fallout only worth watching if you've played the game then?

    The last of us was terrific and I never played the game.

    The Resident Evil movies were ultimately pretty shit on the whole and I played the games loads.

    Conclusion. Don’t play the games.

    I’m looking forward to Fallout

    Ticwatch pro 3 is a great all rounder, although one of the main reasons I got it is it can have an esim and work independent of your phone and looks like that's not available in NZ.

    Runs on wear OS and seems pretty accurate for tracking runs with ghostracer and throwing them into Strava.

    GPT4 needs a little nudging from time to time. It’s getting a little lazy, which to be honest, makes it hard not to anthropomorphise the thing.
