    to enjoy a pint of Newkie Brown properly you should have a pint bottle and a
    half pint glass. Then you keep topping up the half pint as you drink, to
    keep the head on it. Otherwise it disappears and looks flat - still tastes
    just as good tho.
     Seems weird the first few times as around here we think of half-pint
    glasses as for women. You don't say that in Geordieland tho'

    you also write: 'up Alan Shearer' to which I reply, that rat deserted
    Blackburn Rovers so 'right up' him!

    Best Cheers
