It is!

Pay back my outstanding debt to my parents and save up so I can finally move out of the house and into my own apartment. Also maybe get back into Twitch streaming and build a Windows 98 machine for older games, and finally watch all the old Star Trek series like I've been meaning to do for ages.

Nice. I need to think of a goal that involves watching movies/TV too. Maybe I'll try watching a movie from each and every country in Europe or something.

I never had goals, so you are way ahead of me.

Sorry this made me laugh out loud for some reason. Yeah, I'd probably be better off not making goals anyway as I never seem to be able to achieve them.

Just curious what others are aiming for in the new year. This post inspired by my own boxed thinking ~ having trouble expanding my goals beyond the typical 'work harder/live healthier' thing.

and tumbled right into

How about this:

If not that, maybe a Troma film like Rabid Grannies or Frostbiter?

Wait... there are a serious amount of beer ads without people drinking the stuff? O.o

Yeah, I think tight-assed Canada/US might be the only two, but it's been strictly forbidden to actually drink beer in any advertisement as long as I've known.

Trippy...

You can show people actually drinking in an English TV ad? (mind blown)

I like that you call Stella a comfort beer. You know we call that Wife-Beater in the UK.

I'm from Canada, too, but I don't drink a lot of local beer aside from Steam Whistle (and only because it's the only beer on tap at my local drinking hole).  I used to experiment quite a bit with European beer: my favourites were usually the Irish and the Czech beers, with Polish and German beers a close second.  These days I've become less adventurous, though.  In summer I almost always drink Corona with a very large quantity of lime juice added.  In winter I tend to go more for the comfort beer these days: Stella, Guinness if it's really cold outside, and my especial favourite Boddingtons.  I forget how I got hooked on Boddingtons - no one I know likes it, and I've never been anywhere near Manchester.  But there's something about that creaminess and subtle carbonation that just warms the soul.

Yes, I like Boddingtons too. Funny story: just this past summer I bought some for my father in law (Chinese). He had only had watery Chinese beer in his day but really like Boddingtons a lot and it sparked an interest in more flavourful ales, which we tried during the time my wife and I were visiting.

Back to my native land (Canada) for Christmas. I have the chance to get back to a few of my hometown/province brews, so thought I'd share here. First up I tried a Bobcaygeon brewery Common Loon:



It's a full, lager-y feel with mild citrus finish and hoppy aftertaste that lingers, which gives it a sort of lager-IPA mix to it. Slight cloud in appearance. Not an entirely unique flavour but a flavour that appeals to most palates.

Wow last minute Christmas bargain shopping in crypto!

What lies beneath?

Lol I feel like I've seen the movie by now, so many screenshots!

'Could have'? So now we're dealing in hypothetical histories?

Alternative question (you can keep working on Mandle's if you want): What charter did King John of England sign in 1215?
