Seriously it's true. Got out of hospital yesterday after a week being layed up with a totally fnuck'd wrist. Currently my right arm weighs about 2 ton, is stuck in a plastic cast and has more metalwork than a scrap yard sticking out of where I think my right wrist is/was. So last night Mrs Al poured me my first beer in over a week and therefore due to the enforced immobility of my right arm I had to employ the alternative limb, left arm, and to my horror, it tasted differently, same beer as always, but really YUCK.
No it's true, it don't taste proper. I blame the effect of gravity being reversed by lifting the glass with my left hand. Well that's my excuse.
Al, the answer to your failed flavour is swap watch over, drink in view of a mirror, arm ow looks correct, magic! Ps, hope your arm won't go septic, Al?
Do NOT under any circumstances stick a coat hanger under yer pot to deal with itching, it'll end real bad !!!
