Passed this year

[bhgobuchul]

Got my results recently, passed my exams, my marks are a little erratic, ranging from 80% for Stars and Galaxies to 51% for one of the lab modules, but overall they all average out at about 66.5%, so a rather strong 2:1 standard by the looks of it ^_^

Thanks, and I do currently have 4 bottles of cider, an interesting cherry flavoured beer and a bottle of lager in my room (though not really anyone to drink with at the moment ^^")

They must make it differently over there in Canada (really wouldn't surprise me), the stuff they sell over here is not what I would call quality cider O_o
Then again, it only takes a single bottle of strong cider to get me pretty tipsy, so I like to make it a good cider ^^"

English Strongbow is only 5.3%, looking at production methods on the wikipedia page there is no surprise the English stuff is no good XP

"It is the UK's most popular cider, accounting for more than half of the cider sold in Britain."

Going to show that you're average English man has no tastebuds whatsoever :P

I usually drink Westerns cider, don't know how that compares to the stuff over there, but it's the best you can get hold of easily in Durham (as far as I know at least, it's what my cider loving friends recomend at least, though most pubs only serve Strongbow)

*Nods*
Though I'm still more of a cider man, have drunk enough of the better quality beer and ale to know the difference between the good and the bad stuff though, and went on a brewery tour of a small local place over compsoc 10th anniversary ^_^

"12. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling "beer" is not actually beer at all, it is lager . From November 1st only proper British Bitter will be referred to as "beer," and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as "Lager." The substances formerly known as "American Beer" will henceforth be referred to as "Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine," with the exception of the product of the American Budweiser company whose product will be referred to as "Weak Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine." This will allow true Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in the Czech Republic) to be sold without risk of confusion."

Quoted from a joke facebook group, "Petition to revoke the independence of the United States of America", some of the American responses to which just go to show how bad a grasp some Americans have on British humour :/
