You could just say you've bought his book and how great it is, @ him and wonder where he got his jacket all casual, like. These people will normally do anything for someone who buys their books and gives good feedback.

Obviously, don't actually buy his book.

He doesn't look like one, to be fair. And a good jacket's a good jacket.

I have. I was going to stay overnight there once, but got scared and drove to Stafford and found a place there, instead.

It did amuse me that they made Tristram Hunt of all people the MP for Stoke. No wonder he decided to jack MP-ing in. :hehe:

I found my favouritist ever beer up norf, a. It was called Kirkstone Black, and is apparently a 'dark mild', whatever that means.

Totes delish. Another good reason for retiring to the fells.

'Dark mild', indeed. It's clearly a stout.

Is there a difference? I know little of beer, as you know.

I wondered if there was an Irish influence, as I drank 12 pints of it, went home, pissed in the wardrobe and savagely beat the wife and kids.

Mild used to a sort of weak, dark beer that used almost exclusively to be drunk in the midlands. All the rules have gone out the window now, with microbreweries and similar, though, so I've no idea what's what anymore.

I must say, though, that that looks more like a porter or a stout than the milds I've seen.

It's more to do with the strength of the beer than the looks (nowadays anyway) - that appears to be 3.3%, so definitely mild. And quite possibly a women's drink
