correction (with pride): Stella is a Belgian Beer, made at Interbrew's headquarter in Leuven (Louvain) .
Prosit! Santé! Zum wohl! Cheers!

Now I am at work and sober(ish), I can tell you it was just plain
Fosters (Australian, brewed in the UK) I was drinking. But I always
follow it up with a couple of pints of King Fisher in the curry house.
(Indian, I think it is brewed here too, though)

Stella Artios is not a ‘school day’ pint for me. If you never have had
this stuff (probably if you are American, as I’m sure most Europeans
would have tried it), you should give it a go – it is loopy juice, and
leaves you with a very nasty hangover when drunk in volume…

Interestingly, foreign beers brewed here is not as bad as you might
think, because our climate in the UK is pretty good for the brewing
and transport of beer. So it is probably better than the native stuff.
Maybe.

Except for Guinness, I am assured. Apparently that's all in the local
water.

As I wrote that, I knew I'd get corrected - I was just thinking back to
the old UK Stella ads (the ones that said it was "Reassuringly
Expensive&quot😉 and I thought the little village was in France, but, it
seems I was making the same mistake as many made with Hercule
Poirot.

I use Mozilla and Opera and the sites performs beautifully in both.

Chris,

The difference is amazing, instant flicking onto your next game
without any delay, makes it easier to jump through my 50-80 games
which is fab. Good old US technolgoy and British Engineering ... Good
Combo. Well done the Boys.

Almost Frighteningly quick....

Thanks for the upgrade fellas, us Heavy user multi-game users are in
your debt

Does the new server have a period of down time associated with it like
with the old one in the mornings (UK time). Because if it does I
havent seen it !

RHP gets better and better.

Nope, we so far have no need to bring the server down. So far, it
seems to be powerful enough to be able to perform its daily
housekeeping tasks while still serving up RHP pages!

not only is the server too fast for me to stop stupid moves, the
downtime was the only time I actually got any work done...
anyone invented the chess addiction patch yet?

another one is "work", but this one isn't always as effective...
