we had a drinks reception in the telecoms museum which was good. they weren't very good at pouring beer though.

i asked this guy for a beer in my bestest clearest english. he then proceeded to very slowly fill a glass with 40% beer, 60% head. he didn't look impressed by that so he tried again with another glass. and another. and another until he had 8 mostly frothy glasses in front of him.

I said "i should give up, you're not going to get the hang of that". either he agreed or didn't understand as he smiled and passed me a half full glass of froth.
