Recently I’ve been trying to find a shop that sells this Asahi Stout bottled beer but it’s proving to be quite elusive.
While I was in my local supermarket I came across this “Munich-type” black beer, which is also by Asahi. It was right next to the Kirin Stout that I found last week so I’m surprised I hadn’t seen it before.

Taste-wise I’d say it’s pretty much the same as the Kirin, but with a slightly bitterer taste. I don’t think either of them are quite as good as a real Munich Dunkelbier, but I’ll probably buy them again.
Note: Wikipedia has a convenient list of Japanese beers to avoid. Who the hell came up with the idea of brewing beer with soy protein instead of malt? The mind boggles.

Changing the tax class after getting married was a lot easier than I expected. All I had to do was go down to the KVR with the translation of the wedding certificate, our passports, and our current tax cards
The nice man in the office made the relevant changes in the system and updated the tax cards while I waited, and I didn’t have to pay anything.

The good bits: Muse. Eugene Kelly supporting the Lemonheads. Evan Dando kicking some bloke in the head for having a mobile phone conversation while leaning on the stage during the acoustic part of the set. Richard Ashcroft for the third time.
The bad bits: Sisters of Mercy – worst concert ever.

The Britboard and Toytown Munich have been merged to create Toytown Germany. Whether or not the new site will be greater than the sum of its parts is something we’ll have to wait to find out.
When the 2 sites were merged we found that Invision, the developers of the forum software that we use, don’t provide any way to merge two separate forum installations, so we had to do it ourselves:

Tickets from concerts in Munich – 2003.
The good bits: Dandy Warhols.
The bad bits: This year all the tickets are the boring thermal-printed ones. No nice specially printed ones with pictures of the artists or album art like in previous years (for example Guano Apes, Richard Ashcroft, etc).
