...on a social evening to Highgate Brewery. We were to have a tour of the building, a look at the brewing process and (most importantly) SOME BEER! The tour cost us the princely sum of £3.00 and for that we had a guide to show us round in groups and unlimited beer during the three hours we spent there ~ BARGAIN!

Highgate is located in the Black Country; an area of the country so called because of the blackness of the place caused by the thick smog from iron smelting. Walsall was a centre for pig iron smelting (producing the iron for use in industry) and the purest type of this was called “black pig...

I have always preferred a soap and water approach to washing my face as opposed to a cream cleanser but as I have got older my skin has become much drier and so I began searching the internet to try and find something which would cleanse without drying.... more
Wow, what a great game!
Take the standard recipe for 1 st person shooters, reduce down until only the best parts are left, skim off the dirty boring bits, mix it up in a blender for a bit and bake in the oven of awesomness.

I first heard of this book over three years ago when one of my friends kept on nagging at me to read it. Now I didn't like this friend very much so I decided not to read it but one day when I saw Northern Lights lying around in my sisters room I actually more
