[22:58:48] <AndyTheAbsurd> SoyGuest10360: because USAians don't consume anything that isn't sweetened so much you can barely taste anything else.

[23:04:09] <SoyGuest10360> AndyTheAbsurd: many of your craft beers have made it to our part of the world too, and in my reviews I so often write "too sweet".
[23:05:20] <SoyGuest10360> In particular since the trend for dessert stouts kicked off, but Shorts and DFH were making disgustingly sweet things 15+ years ago.

[23:15:25] <chromas> SoyGuest10360: The camera almost always cuts out when it lands. Almost like they're hiding the flat earth
[23:16:52] <SoyGuest10360> funny you should mention that - I just added anothe quote to my sigfile today
[23:17:23] <SoyGuest10360> When people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought
[23:17:23] <SoyGuest10360> the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that [they are
[23:17:23] <SoyGuest10360> equally wrong] then your view is wronger than both of them put together.

[23:31:52] <RandomFactor> Soyguest10360: Saxon? The 80's heavy metal group?
[23:32:00] <RandomFactor> Haven't heard that name in forever
[23:37:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> And Bruce Dickinson's group before he joined Iron Maiden, IIRC.
[23:48:27] <SoyGuest10360> RandomFactor: Yeah, Biff Bifford!
[23:49:52] <SoyGuest10360> TBH, my favourite maiden album is still the Anselmo one. Phantom of the Opera sends shivers down my spine.
[23:51:57] <SoyGuest10360> And because I'm an idiot hippy, my second favourite Iron Maiden album was the one from 1969 that's unrelated to the more modern one - /Maiden Voyage/
[23:54:25] <SoyGuest10360> But all credit for bringing up Saxon must go to Runaway1956 - thanks mate!
