If it becomes Koff, then it is a good bier; Coff, must be some British lukewarm stuff. Söff, as the Germans say.

Not only a bit but a lot.

Not shaken, flipped, or stirred.

Over to you

DO NOT ASK THE PRICE
Why should I?

1. Never been and never will be married so long
2. Couldn't afford anyways
3. Me Missus earns more than me
