Kronenberg 1664, a great year for beer

There's a funny commercial for Kronenberg which shows a composer stopping a few bars into a masterpiece and then getting distracted by the beer. It then flips to present day where an orchestra stops at an awkward moment, leaving everyone confused. The site's backround of the commercial is thorough, funny and informative.

"Or maybe it was because our fictional composer, Guy de Lafond, through pausing to drink his beer during composing the piece, discovered his natural affinity with British musical styles and stopped immediately for fear of being sent to the gallows…?"

Here I've taken a funny sentence, from a mystery source for my paper, out of context. Guess what it's about:

"She was an elderly, high pooped, French East Indiaman of 900 tons named LE DUC DU DURAS and, in 1779, she was lying at L`Orient on the French Atlantic coast."

My paper for HST is almost done. Just needs a conclusion, a revision, and a posting back to London where it all started.

The Enviro Paper is up next, and I've already written 9 pages on Art and Literature (Turner, London and Modernists). Some additions will be, Beatrix Potter, Journalistic developments of the past 10-20 years (hopefully), The Enlightenment, and mentions of sci-fiers Edgar Rice Burroughs and Ray Bradbury. I'm thinking of adding a section to it that explains what I did not get to, but intended to, suggesting the readers can pursue it as I will do the same.

Mark and I had a huge conversation on religion and homelessness last night. If anyone deserves to be religious without gaining my scepticism it is Mark...and Jonny Cash...who both share an uncanny amount of mannerisms.
