Def Con 31


So, if you ended up here, you probably saw a bit.ly link on a hat and decided to follow it.

Well, the owner of the hat is me, Glenn; come over and say Hi. Depending where and when we are, I may have stickers and shots of Benedictine available.

Why Benedictine? Whilst it’s of French origin, the vast majority of all the “Bene” produced is drunk in a small area of East Lancashire (the North of England), close to where I grew up. It’s believed to have been popularised by returning World War 1 troops who were stationed in the vicinity of it’s production. So, it’s “kind of” a speciality drink of my homeland! It can be drunk neat or with hot water (considered a medicinal form).

BTW If you can’t think of how to open the conversation, ask me about
