...Before Keanu Reeves set the trend for dodging bullets in slow motion, Sly Stallone was chiselling his iron jaw, rather than putting his mind to a script in 1986's Cobra. Crime was a disease; he was the cure. It was that simple.
An army of axe wielding serial killers led by the "Nightslasher" are terrorizing L.A. with absolutely no motive. But spare the psychological babble for the films that don't make it seem so cool to wear a trench coat, a pair of aviators, and chew on a match stick in the presence of danger. Stallone's only job as "The Cobra" was to protect a fashion model- who witnessed some of the unmotivated murders- and max out as many psychopaths as possible. It was a great life being an action star.
Whether Stallone meant it or not, Cobra is full of hilarity. Though, surely he must have seen the funny side to a bad guy...

Advantages: A good thirst quencher Disadvantages: Not very complex
...mugs or straight noninck tumblers - pint or half pint - that's about it.
One of the few glasses I have in my pathetic collection is a gold rimmed, tulip shaped, flute glass which bears the Fischer logo. This was a 'gift' from a cafe in Strasbourg where I first sampled this brew.
"Mrs.P," I said, "I like this glass. I would like to have one just like it for my very own."
"That's incredibly interesting," she replied, with what I thought was the meerest hint of sarcasm, "you should buy one."
- "Steady on. I don't like it that much."
"You're a mean master." She said. At least that's what it sounded like. She says that I'm so tight-fisted that if I dropped a £1 coin, it would hit me on the back of the head.
Anyway, I've got the glass. So, when I saw a bottle of Fischers in my local supermarket, I said to Mrs.P.....you know how...

Advantages: Good tasty drinking beer Disadvantages: May take a little finding
...I have previously decanted on Kronenbourg lager on these pages and have recently drooled enviously over Proxam?s unattainable French brew, La Wambrechies, (http://www.ciao.co.uk/LaWambrechiesReview5326679). In seeking solace I found a few intriguing but rather anonymous bottles of a beer from the Alsace region of France lurking on the shelves of a local supermarket. I bought one, tried it, quite liked it and went back for another to prepare this review.
THE BREWERY
Strasbourg is midway between Paris and Prague and has the reputation of being the crossroads of Europe. With Germany just across the bridge and around the next bend, this geographical nexus also probably accounts for the wide range of influences in its brewing.
?Situated in the city of Strasbourg, in the Alsace region of France, the Fischer brewery has been...
