Went to see the film HARRY BROWN down at the Odeon via the seefilmfirst website. A gritty British movie starring Michael Caine as an avenging vigilante against South London drug gangs who killed his chess playing friend. Unmissable.
TUESDAY
A night of yummy food with GC and her Italian student and two of the student's friends. We had a pasta dish and salad washed down with red wine and Cava. Afterwards took two of the Italian students to the Evening Star for some fine quality beer. They had Hophead, and i had a Dark Star porter.
WEDNESDAY
Popped into Weatherspoon and had two and half pints of Carolous Ambro (8% ABV) , a delicious Belgian beer that is only £1.99 a pint.
Available from Wetherspoons in casks.
"This full-tasting, but deceptively drinkable, amber ale has a good fruitiness and a nice hop edge which tempers the caramellised malt. It is clean and precise, within an almost perfect balance of Challenger and Goldings hops.
The recipe has its origin in the 14th century. The present version is a little more heavy and contains more hops. The balance between the different malts, the fine hops and typical tastes of spices creates a perfect harmony between the powerful taste of brown beers and the freshness of the blond beers. This fresh aromatic and pithy light-brown drink can be served cool.
Right on!

Posted off some LP's and CD's and one DVD from my Discogs site. Had anothe roder from a guy in France worth £90. Going well!
