    @Charles_Barrett - Now with Variable-Valve Timing: I must be honest, it looks quite an interesting publication.


    You know what I mean, though? We used to have a BBC series called Queer As Folk (I think it may have been shown in the US), about the lives of a group of young gay men in Brighton. It was excellent, seemed to be well observed.


    And they drove a Jeep Wrangler. Kind of rugged-ish, butch.... Seemed typecast for the programme.

    @Charles_Barrett - Now with Variable-Valve Timing: It's been my understanding that gin martinis are just "martinis". It's (the, ahem, vastly superior) vodka martini that requires the prefix.


    Has the cultured crowd gone and changed that on me?

    @beercheck: Agreed. Gin is the original martini, but if I don't use the "gin" prefix with most bartenders, I'll get vodka as their default.


    Did you know that the original Bloody Mary is made with gin? Yet again, I make a point of using the gin prefix. Vodka is all very well, but gin brings in the added variable of juniper berries, with interesting results (and personality shifts) in the imbiber.

    @Rust-MyEnemyOnTour!: "Queer as Folk" was a successful pay-cable series (five years) on Showtime; it was set in Philly yet produced in Toronto. Character Brian Kinney drove a Wrangler, then traded up to a vintage C3 'Vette convertible (can you GET any more phallic than that?) in season three or four. I don't subscribe to Showtime, but I bought the boxed DVD set after it ended its run.

    @Charles_Barrett - Now with Variable-Valve Timing:
    apologies for the correction mr. barrett, but the show was set in pittsburgh. i'm sure you may have been a bit distracted by the rest of the show's content, it's an easy mistake to make :)


    the only reason i remember that it is set in pittsburgh is because i used to watch it at a gay bar in pittsburgh.

A gay friend of mine went to Pittsburgh on a business trip back when QaF was new and getting our attention.
