Even wiser words, mate
GK Chesterton again, on an even more important topic: beer.
"Only Brits would come up with the idea of brewing beer without carbonation", he writes. Excuse me? Daniel, don't let's get started on transatlantic beer comparisons. There are words in the English language to describe American beer, but unfortunately they're all forbidden by Colossians 3:8... :-)
Think GKC should have the last word again:
Let a man walk ten miles steadily on a hot summer's day along a dusty English road, and he will soon discover why beer was invented.Amen, brother. Posted in honour of Daniel's decision to categorise his blogroll links by reference to beer.
- from the essay, Wine When it is Red

Think GKC should have the last word again:
Man is always something worse or something better than an animal ... Thus in sex no animal is either chivalrous or obscene. And thus no animal ever invented anything so bad as drunkenness - or so good as drink
