Or I could do something game related, such as if a faction researches a tech or builds an SP just before we start, I model the new floor on that?

Real beer as in *real* beer, or as in Xenobrew (just not the lager of Weissbier verions)? The former is in very short supply... *very* short supply, but for the right price I might be able to let a pint out...

* Drogue ducks as the Gorilla goes flying into an obviously startled Micha, knocking him to the floor. A smile creeps across his face as he spies the remains of Micha's drink. He lifts the glass to his lips, downs the remaining liquid, and bounces joyfully back to his post at the door.

* Drogue gets up from behind the bar, and surveys the damage. There is a dent in the bar, about 2 foot in diameter.

Ach, I've gotta teach that Gorilla to ask first!

Yes, many vodkas are pure grain spirit, such as Stolichnaya. I have found a simple one, that is 43%, nice and clean but with a kick, and at £11.49 a bottle, not too expensive. I wanted Polish Pure Spirit, but at £14.99 for half a bottle, it's too much. It is 79.9% though

Half a bottle (35cl). But then at 79.9% it is expensive stuff. I know the difference in price though, when I was in Florence I got a bottle of Finlandia and one of Absolut Red (50%) for 25 Euros. Over here it would be about £30.

To give you an idea of prices here:
Smirnoff red: £11
Stolichnaya: £12
Finlandia: £12.50
Absolut: £13.50
All 70cl bottles, between 37.5% and 40% alcohol.

Actually, I'd love to move to continental Europe when I leave uni, but where? And to be honest, I like speaking English. It's not about me not wanting to learn another language, I'd love to do that, but I've spent 19 years becoming proficient at English, and I like the language, as a language. I'm not sure I could get used to using something else for day to day stuff. However I'd love to give it a try Louise loves Italy, so we could go there. I dunno. I loved being in Italy too, the style of things, but I loved Germany when I went on the exchange and before that on holiday. Just the style of the place, the food, the people, even the politics. Not sure I could cope with the Italian black market and Berlesconi, I'm to honest when it comes to business.

Either way, if I can find a decent online supplier, I'm getting my spirits sent over. But with the holiday in the summer, I should be able to pick up on everything I need then
