Soon beer shall excrete anxiety And glass will break; Yet some better mess Will supplant thee. Pray in ink, okay?

You promised a poem on entropy and, my girl, you delivered. I am slightly freaked by beer excreting stuff - I shall steer clear of the pub for a while I think. Great image to choose.

Ta Christof, but please do go to the pub and have a pint of heavy for me.

ESB!

You're my kind of girl. I shall have two to celebrate. Whereabouts do you get your ESB?

Hard to find around here but not impossible. I shall get some for my Scrabble rematch with Ms.Z. Too bad there are no pubs here. The bars are just not the same.??

No, bars are not right for ESB. You must have been to Britain at some point I would guess.

Several times. Lastly, Christmas 2000. Went to services at Westminster Abbey. Now that's going to church! Most memorably, many years ago, spending July bartending in a pub in Northumbria.
Lots of umemployed coalminers playing darts.+

Fantastic. So you know ESB etc as a professional. Much respect to you. That stuff requires care and attention if it's going to be served properly. Oooh I am really hankering for a pint now. And a game of darts. But not unemployment.

What's the name of your local?.

The Crown. It's pretty good - it's in Cricklewood in NW London. The best pub in the world is the Blisland Tavern in Cornwall, but that is no way local.

I always wanted to go to Cornwall. Read all of Malory. And Manderly is supposed to be in Cornwall right? Very romantic place.

You can have a drink in the Jamica Inn that du Maurier wrote about. She lived around there so I think Manderly is based on a real place (but can't remeber where). If you liked Malory you should definitely go to see Tintagel - the castle, supposedly Arthur's birthplace, is amazing, all rocks and crags and cliffs now with the ruined walls cropping out above.
