He left shortly before the warfare in Kuwait. It was hard in them days cause we didn't see him for six months at a time, but the tall tales soon made us forget he'd been gone a while.....especially the gin ones

Must have been around the same time then...many stories too...
I remember arriving in Saudi - must have been in the house about half an hour, when there was a knock at the door - was a chap from Round Table, took us to the local supermarket (interestingly enough was a Safeway), and proceeded to put 10 cases of Barbican lager (alcohol free of course), 2 dustbins, 20 kilos of sugar and some yeast into the trolley (no food I might add)....
Got home and started brewing for us....
I knew from then it would be an interesting 5 years!
Sorry for the de-rail, but it turned out to be an ok brew from what i remember...
