I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Remember to keep off the beer before you go, pump ship, and try and hold on for an hour or so. The 'Colonel' may or may not have beer on offer. If he asks what you would like try and pick something that someone else is already drinking.

At one function in India I asked for a beer as it was hot and I wanted a bit more liquid. The delay became clear later when the guy got back from th shops having been out to buy the beer.

OTOH, in Cyprus, when we asked for wine (in a restaurant) they had to go to the supermarket to buy it.
