I had some Bass Ale last night in honour of our cousins across the pond. I wonder how and if yesterday's events will change anything.
P.S. As a further show of support, I've amended my spelling of honour. Just for the day, mind you. God save the Queen.

I'm going down to the beer refrigerator in the basement and pulling out a Bass Ale too.
The British flag is beautiful..
Pithy but great post.
I wanted to put a British flag in blog too and was wondering if it was appropriate my heart goes to Britain....
I am a Brit who randomly came across your blog - thank you for thinking of us!
What a fantastic way to pay tribute to us - with Bass Ale!
Top one!
Cheers to our friends in the US of A!!
Thanks for stopping by Random. I'll drink some more for you chaps tonight.
MB, when do I get the invite to the beer fridge in your basement?
Butik, Heck ya it's appropriate! Just copy the code out of my blog. That actual picture is stored on Wikipedia.
I would like to point out that you do this every night, but kudos for turning it into a post.
I remember after 9/11 thinking that the feeling one has when living in Israel, that of constant wariness and fear, is something we are all going to have to get used to.
We are one giant step closer to that.
Things will definitely get much worse before they get better.
I don't always splurge for Bass you nancy.
Check out google UK and there is a peace flag on there if any of you would like that!! I've just tried adding it but can't - soz!
Get ya bangers and mash (with Gravy!) and ya bass ale and here's to all the families across the world who were affected.. the attack was in Britain, but directly affected many other countries!
Cheers to you all x
Sylow, I could write an ode to my beer fridge. So I will:(Whitman won't mind...)
Ode to an ice-cold beer fridge
O beer fridge! my beer fridge! One simple trip downstairs;
This fridge has beer on every rack, the prize I seek is here.
The port is near, so is the ale --the lager so delightful,
It matters not the fridge has rot; I must say it is frightful!
But O fridge! fridge! ice-cold fridge!
O the beers of gold, amber, red,
I can pick the ones I want,
Drink up then go to bed.
Yes, please come by..I cannot make a dent in the number of beers just sitting there waiting for eager hands to grasp and lips aready for the feel of the cold glass and a parched throat's anticipation of the golden goodness of beer!
Guess you can tell I like beer pretty fine.
I like Bass Ale. I PREFER Newcastle Brown. On my "light" days, an Old Speckled Hen will suffice.
Cheers to Beer and the British too! Great flag, great post.
Beer Fridge...I want one of those.
...and now I have to go and listen to "God Save the Queen" and drink a Fosters, oh I mean Bass.
Thank you for the ode MB. I'll commit it to drunken memory promptly.
nyny, I like Newcastle too. It's just not as commonly on tap around here.
Bastille Day! Viva La Indian Pants!

We should remember the origins, history and tradition of the uniforms worn with pride by militaries around the world.
For example, a long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During one battle, the French captured an English colonel. Taking him to their headquarters, the French general began to question him. Finally, as an afterthought, the French general asked, "Why do you English officers all wear red coats? Don't you know the red material makes you easier targets
for us to shoot at?"
In his bland English way, the colonel informed the general that the reason English officers wear red coats are so that if they are shot, the blood won't show and the men they are leading won't panic.
And that is why, from that day to this, all French Army officers wear
brown pants.
