The latest news so far is rather a bleak one before Chiristmas,,, I won't get paid for the last 2 months labour services, it's quite feasible,,,, To get them onto my bank account, probably I have to take a legal action. Does Santa Claus really exist?? I know… would be updated shortly…??

Hoegaarden (HO-GARDEN) is also really expensive in the UK. Anyway, photos of fish and chips on your boggie? You haven't updated it in ages! Ah OK.

(The English colleagues went for COLD Guiness or some kind of Ale...) But that wasn't my white beer ! I used to drink another white beer that was avaialble (mostly out of stock!) at All Bar One! Can't remember the name again, but for me, it was more acceptable than any other sparkling drinks! Now, Sapporo Beer sells Guinness in Japan and the number of Irish/British style pubs are increasing there days. Fun.

After having a pint of white beer and gin tonics, we ordered Fish and chips.... quite nice actually... What a surprise, this pub served the vineger that Rich believes as the best. Malt vineger seemed a rare product for some people and no doubt taht they loved it so much! Last night, me, colleagues and clients went to british pub like place.

Supposedly it's to make the batter cook more quickly. The theory is that if you use water in the batter, then the water takes too long to boil away, so the batter doesn't cook quickly enough. Vodka (or pure alcohol) boils away much more quickly because it has a lower boiling point, so the batter will become crisper. I found that there was a slight taste of vodka left in the batter, which was unsatisfactory for me. Perhaps pure alcohol would work better, but then it's hard to buy pure alcohol in the UK (easy elsewhere though). Vinegar: I don't like vinegar very much but if you like it, you should buy a good, dark, malt vinegar to go with fish and chips. This is the one that I use: http://www.britsuperstore.com/acatalog/Sarsons_Vinegar.html Newspaper: How about using Egg?! Rich. Fumineko:
