great white things

I'll be bottling my 20th home brew at the weekend. In the last 4 or 5 years, I've made almost every kind of beer, but the one prize that has always eluded me is the Moby Dick of brewing, the great white beer, weissbier.

Meantime, I made tapioca last night, with coconut cream, vanilla, and pulped mango. Quite a sensory experience. Sadly, it's probably too late in life to have the ultimate experience - licking tapioca off a naked nubile. Or doing anything with a naked nubile.

toilet developments

This is a picture of a public toilet in Houston, Texas.

The lady is getting ready to enter.




Now that you've seen the outside view, take a look at the inside view.




It's made entirely of one-way glass. No one can see you from the outside, but when you are inside it's like sitting in a clear glass box. Would You use it?

friday night

Walked out of the McDonald Institute on Friday night into an eerie winter light. Sunsets here don't last long. I got these snaps within about 5 minutes.

I don't recall why I was Googling "assaults in Kilmarnock", but anyway in amongst all the court transcripts and reports, I stumbled on the official Kilmarnock Academy website where, amongst all the usual self-congratulation and window-dressing for parents, it said

Once again we fielded a strong team of prosecutors, defenders, accused and witnesses. We were relieved to have our Head Boy acquitted on a serious assault charge, despite his very obvious guilt. The positive impact of a smart suit was noted.

Sounds like they stacked the courtroom with old school stooges and the guy wore his Sunday best. What is Britain coming to? In my day, I never got any advantage, even with allegedly the best school tie in Glasgow.
