>>>Harp?!!! That makes Fosters almost palatable!
I was amazed when I googled to find the ABV of Harp. It's so lacking in flavour that I always assumed that it was around 3.5% to 4% (at the very most).
Fosters? The UK version is almost undrinkable but, if you get the chance, try it in Oz, where the ABV is much higher and where it's full of flavour.

>>>I think you need to be young for the heavy drinking
Oh, fond (if somewhat hazy) memories.
During our second year at college, the three of us who were in digs together (about 1½ miles from the campus) would often meet up after lectures and find that we'd got no change for the bus. The solution, of course, was provided by one of us voicing the magical abbreviation, 'QH', which meant going for a 'Quick Half' in the Nursery Tavern. Somewhat strangely, we often seemed to miss the last bus home, around 6 hours later!
These days I look forward to my three pints of real ale on a Sunday evening (with perhaps a few drinks during the week) while our little group studies the Times crossword. However, for the past month or so, I've only actually consumed just two pints on a Sunday evening.
Oh well, at least old age seems to be saving me money!

I've just had to look up (in a proper, physical, dictionary, rather than on the web) the meaning of 'propinquity'. It's one of those words that I just accept when it's used in context but I couldn't put my finger on a specific definition. ('Close kinship' does, indeed, seem to nearly synonymous with 'consanguineous').
Incidentally, are you aware that most UK libraries subscribe to the Oxford English Dictionary website, so that (simply by entering the number on their library cards) library users can get full access to the contents of the OED (which costs megabucks if you take out a personal subscription)? It's one of my favourite websites!

Here's where to enter your library card number for access to the OED:

In the (hopefully unlikely) event that your local library doesn't subscribe to the system, email me and I'll give you my library card number: [email protected]
