I'm altogether too aware of that, but I like my wine and beer
far too much for this to be an effective solution. What happens
is that my notes start off being like this and end up beimeiw
lkk ers. Which looks like Dutch, only I don't read Dutch.

Speaking of which, I think I described the Meneer Smakers burger
joint in Utrecht - the name as you might have been able to guess
means Mr. Tastee, only with a bit of a Netherlandish accent.

I used to have pretty inerrant memories of what I'd eaten and
