Later in the week after the Ealing Beer Festival I was in my local, The Old Parrs Head W14 for dinner (they have an excellent Thai kitchen) when I noticed a new addition to the draught beer selection - Beck's Vier (4.0% abv) (named after German for four). Now come the question - What is the difference between Becks Vier and just regular ordinary Becks? Apparently from the label 1% abv, however

I tracked my journey into Oxford Circus this morning by scooter from Ealing using an i-gotU GPS tracker . It's a tiny device weighing about 20g that's about half the size of a matchbox and logs GPS data at intervals of between 5 and 60 seconds.

It was back in April this year that Ealing Council voted to withdraw funding from Southall Black Sisters , a women's support group, on the spurious grounds that targeting services at black and minority ethnic groups ran contrary to the "equality" and "integration" agenda. On Friday it lost its court case.
As I mentioned the other day, the Ealing Summer festival has a lot of music events going on right now. I attended bits and pieces of the Blues festival yesterday. No top-tier acts, but it was a lot of fun (and when entry is only a quid you can’t really moan). The first act we caught [...]
