Dogscoff,

What can you tell me about that part of the UK?

In particular, what local beers are your Favorites?

Yeah, you can tell where my priorities are.

I just hit 1000 ! Time to take a break from work and go to Harry's (our own UMIST pub) for a pint !

Bournemouth is pretty chic actually, so people tend to drink swanky imported stuff while wearing their sunglasses on the tops of their heads. Get a few miles out of town and you'll find about a million rural pubs full of old men in green wellies with wet labradors on bits of rope, all swigging bitter from Ringwood brewery which is about 10 miles from here. I don't drink bitter but I'm told it's pretty good stuff.

It's pretty cool=-) It's one of the sunniest parts of the country, for a few weeks each summer it gets very comfortably hot. Bournemouth is pretty clean & cosmopolitan, with loads of excellent beaches, bars, restaurants & clubs all in about a 2 mile radius. Plenty of bikini action and late night drinking. It's expensive, but there's no competition: There are no other lively towns/ cities for 30 miles in any direction, and the public transport round here sucks. The road connections are pretty poor, and I wonder if we'll ever get broadband availibility or decent, well known bands or comedy acts 'round here. (there are a few good local bands though: www.pronghorn.co.uk )

Still, Southampton is half an hour away, London is only about 1.5 hours away, Oxford and Bristol about 2, so it's not too hard to escape=-)

Why do you ask? Are you headed this way?

C'mon - lets rank everyone not just by number of Posts...

<$.02>

Doesn't 'time-in-grade' count for anything? I think you ought to multiply your Posts by the reciprocal of your member #. Then multiply that by 100. Mine would be:

(547 Posts * (1/member # 638)) * 100 = 85.74

Isn't that kinda how they rate quarterbacks?

No, I'm NOT a troll....

Hmm, never even noticed the number of Posts area. I couldn't even tell you the number of times I've posted. But I wonder. Shouldn't you be graded upon the quality of the post, and not the quantity? But you'll probably be seeing less of my Posts anyway for the forseeable future. My computer got zapped by lightning the other day, and I think it's dead. It may take me awhile to get another one. Hopefully my external HD didn't get trashed as well. That's where I was keeping all of my Space Empires 4 files. So I'll try to keep up to date through my computer at work, but I don't know how often I can do that.
