Hmm... looks like I am the Ruler of the World now (rank on Intel Forums). I think there need to be some changes to this planet of ours. Hmm... too much work to do that... maybe I am not such a good Ruler of the World...

I think the UBB should implement a new ranking system where everyone ranks your Posts (as with the Posts on SlashDot.Org).

That would be even more meaningless than the 4 star rating I have now.

I'm coming up to 2000 Posts. Do I get a promotion? Do I get a cake? How about a party? I WANT A PARTY!

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?

2 Posts to go...
