September 2000
Catching up on chronicling past journal goings-on... This is September 2000... a little over 10 years ago... Living in Dumfries, working in Glasgow as an engineer at the shipyard.
Sept 8... documented the results of a beer contest... out of 32 beers, I narrowed it down to the final four: Belhaven Best Ale, Pilsner Urquell, Castle Lager and Guinness Original Stout... and the winner was Belhaven Best Ale (with Guinness as runner-up).
Sept 10... Ride and walk in Mabie forest... other subjects include the Kursk tragedy, Britney Spears, Sinead O'Connor comes out as a lesbian, mostly catching up on old stuff I had clipped out, which interested me...
Sept 11... more junk... Hitler's skull, Charlie Chaplin, Cuba, Vikings, pictures of Guid Nychburris in Dumfries, Burns poetry... etc etc
Sept 13... Britain is having the worst fuel crisis in 25 years... Protesters are blockading refineries... "Looks like I'm going to have to stay up in Glasgow during the week next week."... stuff about George W. Bush, Run-DMC, Kim Jong Il, Vladimir Putin, the usual...
Sept 17... Fuel protest ended, Sydney Olympics started, a look at music charts in the '60's...
