Andreas,

 

You're a mere spring chicken.  Age doesn't matter anyway (if I keep telling myself that maybe one day I'll believe it) because I'm ** in a few weeks......older than you anyway.

 

Whatever happened to Dortmunder Union Bier.  At the minute it doesn't seem to be available in the UK.  So I drink Grolsch when I do drink beer, which isn't often.  Or Eichhof, which is Swiss.

 

Billy Connolly is a big hero of mine.  Have you read his life story, written by his wife.  If not, it is worth a read.   "If it wisna fer yer wellies, where would ye be........lol"
