Before we get into serius business do you want to smile?

What not to say to the nice policeman:

Everyone knows the feeling. You wake up feeling groggy and wooly-headed. You KNOW you shouldn’t have had that last drink (or three!), but you were having such a good time…….

So you search in the medicine cupboards, nursing your head so it doesn’t wobble too much, but there are no paracetamol or Nurofen, or aspirin, in fact nothing that will help you. What do you do?

Well first of all, while you are at the cupboard, check to see if you have any vitamin tablets around, if so take some, and specifically try to find some Vitamin C.

Paris Hilton has made a video for a new beer in Brazil called Devassa (which means ‘very blonde’ apparently), but it is being reported that the authorities in the South American country are trying to get it banned because it’s ‘demeaning to women’.

This is how it was described on inentertainment.co.uk: Conar – the Brazilian advertisement regulatory body – has apparently got rules that state “appeals to sensuality won’t constitute the principal content of the message,” and “advertising models won’t be treated as sex objects.” Read the full post

I know this website is always looking for reasons to believe that beer and wine are good for you, and I have now found further proof!

A publican in Gillingham was stabbed by an angry customer after a band night in his pub, and the doctor told him that he may have died if he didn’t have a beer belly!

Snaz Martin said: “I could have died but my organs were protected by a bit of extra fat.

“I’m not massive by any stretch of the imagination – I only weigh 13stone. But I do have a beer belly and they’re saying that’s what saved me.” Read the full post

Someone who desires to brew some homemade wine, no matter if they are a beginner or an authority, must reason clearly in relation to a few important things ahead of preparing a gallon (or five!) of wine.
