*Gedge enters the beer tent after queuing all night, looks around*
I thought the place would be packed with at least 42,042 people, where's the party then?
* gets out his note book and beer guide*
A. Beer A is for aardvark, made from freshly squeezed UgHHHH, well perhaps i'll try a half.
*pours himself a beer*
a self service beer festival I could get to like this.

Hey, morning Gedge! I that the sound of that Aardvark beer. If you can't beat ''em, drink 'em.

I think its an aquired taste. It looks as though somebody did beat it to make this only not enough, there are still some lumps in mine. Next on my list is the Curry and Corriander beer, which according the advertising is "not just a drink but a meal as well", the first five customers get a free Nan bread as well to dip in to it.
Have you found the cider stall yet?

How much have you had? You can no longer spell your own name!
I haven't looked for the cider. I grew up in the West Country. Too many bad memories of cider.
I'll give the curry beer a miss. Is there any pizza beer?

I am definately keeping off the Aardvark, not only can I no longer spell my name, but I end up at the food bar thinking that they are drinks. The rice with knives and forks for the curry should have been a give away but it still took me a day to realise. I think i'm slowly losing it.

That's the problem with runny curries. The answer is arrowroot (or cornflour).

The last time I used cornflour, my once runny meal turned into a pale gooey mess, and not very edible, mind you I still ate it, its was just harder to scrape from the plate, I need a trowel more than a knife or fork, come to think about it we did re plaster the bathroom instead of having seconds.
