PO has a Cask Marque and is listed in CAMRA's 2001 Good Beer Guide.

So, uh, yes.

Incidentally, I'm setting up a real ale review page. Send real ale reviews

i think both `theoretically' have guest ales, but it may vary
for your definition of real

for instance real to some people on this list is anything that
they can drink a lot of and isn't just being waved by the pink
elephant that sits in front of them for 8 or 9 hours a day while
some people don't think its real unless its got straw in it

I found Ruby much closer to Perl in spirit.  If Perl didn't exist, I'd
be using Ruby not Python.  If Perl hadn't existed, there would be no
Ruby.

And that's today's exploration of alternate realities.  We now return
you to your chosen reality.

I should confess that I recently installed python on one of my boxen.
Excuse: something else needed it.  However, I'd like to take a look at
it sometime.  Same goes for Ruby.  More things for the to-do queue.

I also installed Python on the Palm, cos I thought it was a nifty idea.
I deleted it earlier today cos I thought putting Lovecraft books on
there was a better use of memory.

Michael, you're *useless*!

The only reason I haven't got the weekly summary out yet is because of
you being so useless. It has nothing to do with the fact that I just
got Zone of the Enders (fun) that happen to come with a Metal Gear
Solid 2 demo (fab). Oh no.
