If I had a blog, I'd prob put this there, but anyway, apologies if
it's mildly OT.
I was reading an article about a film I'm going to see tonight - The
Oxford Murders - it's a mathsy murder mystery.

Someone I know from a local pub has a minor role in the film, as does
Liverpool film maker, mover & shaker, Alex Cox, who wrote a Guardian
piece about Englishness & Spanish film making.

After spending hours stuck in a box designed to make him look like
he'd lost 3 limbs (don't ask) he was in need of a drink . . .
"In short order, the torture device is deconstructed, and I am let out
of the box. Rosa, the very kind producer, presents me with a glass of
traditional English beer. This is a wonderful-tasting beverage, which
I plan to sample again soon."
I think he's being mildly sarcastic - that he's English & has drank it
before & will continue to do regularly, but I'm still not sure.
Anyone else spotted any interesting pieces where good beer gets good
mention recently?
cheers
