Who are the mystical 'purists'?

Are they frothing? I might get over there for a laugh...

 

Just go on the thread and type "Emmet"
They are not frothing but its just the same old posters going back and forth.
Wheres that Rat thread?

 

I prefer the word "perfectionist" @Lord Charles
Ms.T thinks of it as me being "a pedantic s***"

 

Camra member you say? so, you are wearing a hand knitted jumper and sport a full beard then ?(essential!) and have absolutely no interest in females, but seem to know lots about hops.

 

I don't recall meeting you Steve
You just described me.

 

You forgot the large gut and apparently uncontrollable flatulence...

 

Have you met me as well?

 

I'm sure do yourself an injustice, sir...

 

Real Ale Drinkers
One of the greatest aspects of drinking Real Ale is that doing so earns you the unassailable right to be as sanctimonious and patronising toward other drinkers as you wish at all times. People who prefer low-quality pseudo-beers such as lager should be treated with derision whenever you come into contact with them and anyone - especially male - who drinks so-called alcopops such as Bacardi Breezer should be ignored, even if they happen to be your wife. In short, the regular consumption of Real Ale implies that you are a beer connoisseur and all consumers of lesser beverages must bow down before your greater knowledge on this subject and all others. You will, with immediate effect, become the King of the Pub and - with the exception of the esoteric, arcane and druid-like Single Malt Scotch aficionados - all will be subservient to you.

Purist = Conscience

 

Mystical purists or mythical? The first have long white beards and possibly a gnarly staff. (Not that one...) The latter don't exist, unless they are actually in a forest somewhere, tutting.

 

Hmm too complex a question....I have a white beard and have been known to venture into a forest or two but purist no...maybe just trainee perfectionist.

 

Does this mean I am liable to get my van frowned upon by a load of bus driving Druids ? I have to say no one warned me of this previously . I'm not too worried about the second option because as you pointed out they are mythical.

 

I frown upon any bus with lights changed I.e indicator/headlight positions etc ..... il take my seat in the corner

 

Clear indicator lenses. Buses, Minis, any cars.... WHYYYYY?!!!!!!!!!!

 

Woo hoo - i got 10 in the test! Do i win a prize?

Pure/original is great, but modded can be great too - just as long as the mods don't make it worse than it was to start with.. more useable means it'll get more use (dur!) and, be more fun /enjoyable in the process.

02p etc.

 

There is a direct link between real ale and late bays. Both come with a relatively high specific gravity. It's a little-known fact that an unlowered '78 Moonraker has a final gravity of 1.010, especially on a windy day going round a corner on an adverse camber, which makes her FG roughly equivalent to a pint of Abbot Ale.

 

Correct. They should be banned by law.
