If I'm not here, then I'll be in the library. Or the other library.

I don't think the mouse is a Friedmanesque monetarist, although I haven't had the chance to interrogate it.

I suggest creating a preposterously elaborate trap involving a large boot kicking a ball down some rickety stairs and a diver being catapulted into a small pool.

Then the penny dropped.
My penny remains firmly undropped.

I think he must have been saying "markers" (the 2 metre kind).

I refer you back to the 'Homer Slow' video I posted earlier.

Beer 5.

(last one, I did get another but it cost nearly as much as the rest combined so I'll save it for now).

Half Dome Pale Ale. 5.2%. Track brewing company, Manchester.

(The same as made the digusting swill I began with).

Look - So it wasn't my slovenly lack of glass cleaning. 'Hazy' IPA's are a thing it would appear, an American thing.
Taste - I'm detecting hints of Greenland shark, Neptune's moon Triton and Jilly Goolden's bikini wax residue.

7/10

It's really rather good.

So 4/5 aint bad.

The woman in the stupidly expensive beer shop said she'd had to order extra stock such was the demand for their wares over the last week, and half the shelves were empty, but then the shop is in Chapel Allerton (or Chapel 'A' as its most egregiously twatful inhabitants refer to it). Where you'll pay 200 grand for a tiny back to back so you can go to the hipster beard barbers then go out and pay £5 a pint to have it brought to your table on a tray in a cool arty bar by a girl on minimum wage. It's where all the 'creatives' in Leeds live, and I love creative, interesting people, but most of them up there are utter wankers. A while ago a guy threw his pizza in my face when I questioned whether writing for 'Doctors' was as prestigious as he was making out.

And I bet most of them read the Guardian.

Not the entire pizza, just a slice. But some jalapeno went in my eye which hurt. The rest of the story is like a drunk Rashomon.
