highlander 3 (and the series) were technicaly even worse.

At the end of the first, he was 'the one' with all that entailed.
Not 'the one' not currently stuck in a cave or 'the one' amongst several million other immortals and some sort of ninja priests.....

An "Australian lager" is bubbling away nicely and will be ready for bottling on Sunday, best get some bottles in the dishwasher tonight, have a nice stock of 500ml bottle this time so can vary my quantities.
4 week aged lager and 5 week aged ginger beer for christmas drinking, yummy.

Going to get a quality real ale ordered and can get that made, age it a full year for next year.

Yep, Bottle Bombs could be rather dangerous.
Mine are in plastic pop (Soda for the colonials) bottles so should take quite a bit of pressure, and fail none catastrophicaly.

Bottled the Ginger Beer with additional sugar, good god I hope the flavour improves with age, its tastes like someones eaten loads of ginger then had a wee.
Also making a 5 litre ginger beer from ginger powder (probably messed up quantities) but that bubbled like mad for the first 36 hours, so should be potent if nothing else.  Seriously, I was worried the water was just going to be blown out the airlock!
Yeast Vit and "super" yeast, wheres the plastered smiley?

Assuming something drinkable comes out the end, I quite like this brewing lark.
Bit more time consuming than I thought at first, sterilising 12 2L bottles is a pain, but never mind.

I'm saving up "sparkling wine bottles" (other half drinks supermarket brand Asti :-[ ::)) so will have "proper" storage soon enough.  Wonder how much it costs to dig out a cellar under the house?

I've got 5L of vimto "red wine" nice bubbling away, and 23L of Ginger Beer from a can thats being very lively. 
Going to try a 5L ginger beer with powdered ginger this weekend and possibly move the ginger beer into bottles and get one of the lagers going.

Just placed my first order.
A Cerveza, an Australian Lager and a Ginger Beer (probably should have got a proper ale, but, oh well)
Along with loads of equipment to have a crack at some winey related social lubricants.

'prison wine' is a pretty old concept

Theres a christmas ale called "Doner and Blitzed" thats catching my eye at the moment as a starter.
I think time depends on the specific kit, some are still improving afte rthree months apparently.

I wonder if my G/F has realised why I want to clear the small bedroom this weekend.....
Books just arrived, two amazon packages today, no idea why they sent one order in 4 boxes.

Sorry it was just me being opaque as usual.

Wine books are on order, equipment for beer and wine will be bought 6 weeks before christmas, which is a reasonable amount of time for a couple of brews, one matured 5 weeks in the bottle, another 4 weeks, ect.

A levels in Maths (I'm sure Differentiation of Complex Compound Double Angle forumla broke my brain), Physics, Computing (Database Normalisation really did break my brain) and Accounting are as far as I got academicaly, I also did about three weeks of the third year of an "accounting" degree, but sort of snapped as my lecturers were insisting that "sub prime was contained" and dropped out.  Since weeks later, the worlds banking system blew up, I maintain I was the lecturer and they the student, alas, the University disagreed and refuses to pay me, or give me a degree.

So I'm an accounting technician by professional qualification, and really should get my arse in gear and do CIMA.

I'm awaiting Amazons painfully slow Super Saver delivery to deliver my first two home brewing books, starting wine, and 130 wine receipes both by CJJ Berry.

Birthday is 14th of Novemeber, so will be buying kit then, and will, with a bit of luck, be getting smashed on christmas day on my own produce.  Unless we go to my girlfriends families house, in which case I'll probably have to get really drunk.

Maybe I'll upgrade to all grain for next year, but its a bit expensive for me at the moment really, bills keep getting in the way.

Oh this just keeps getting better
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navajo_language

The Navajo language is, somehow, related to the language of much of Alaska and Western Canada, reaching the shores of the hudson bay.
If we assume a moderate amount of traffic along the hudson bay, well that puts us within striking distance of the great lakes, and so the island.

The Naagloshi were sent as messangers to the Navajo, but that doesnt mean they didnt send messangers to other people either, if we use language as a guide, they did....

Edited now on computer
******
During the fight with the naagloshi, possibly after it ends, the Naagloshi expalins to Harry that he has tortured Thomas beyond sanity, and was considering throwing thomas into the house with molly before Harry Force Ringed him in.
Only he doesnt say house, he says "Hogan", which is a type of navajo dwelling, one that had strong religious connotations.

Is he just using a generic word for house, or is the lighthouse/cottage a spiritual "Hogan"?

but I never really saw that as the 'physical' angel.

I'd assumed angels didnt have physical bodies, unless they created them with soul fire.

Bob sayas words to the effect of "Thats all they are Harry, souls", about angels.
