Own BrewDog: Equity For Punks IV

Published on 14 May 2015

In case you missed it: a new crowdfunding round has opened at my favourite Scottish brewery BrewDog. With Equity For Punks IV, BrewDog is quite ambitious, trying to collect £25 million. I have no doubt they will reach this number well before the closing date (20 April 2016), since they’ve already reached the £5 million mark after just a couple of weeks!

In 2013 I invested the absolute minimum of £95 in Equity For Punks III. Already within a couple of months, the amount of accumulated discounts — bar discounts, online shop discounts and Beer Bucks — outweighed my investment!
This time I invested some more in EFP IV, to qualify for even higher discounts. With BrewDog Brussels opening soon, I’m sure it will not take long before this investment will have paid off as well. 😉 And did I mention the value of my first shares increased considerably?

If you are a craft beer lover (in Europe) and interested in being a part of BrewDog, I strongly suggest you have a look at the prospectus.
Of course, the reasons for this post are not entirely selfless: if you decide to invest, I would be very grateful if you could use the referral code R088218 when asked. In return, with the first three referrers living near — or visiting — Brussels, I’d be happy to share one of the exclusive limited edition barrel-aged bottles of Hinterland I might receive thanks to your referral!

Jamie McCrimmon

Published on 13 February 2015

wobblycompetencies:

OKAY BUT DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN the companion who stayed with the Doctor the longest was a piper’s son named Jamie McCrimmon from 18th century Scotland who couldn’t read or write and had no idea what a radio or a toaster or an elevator was, much less a time-and-space-ship? And who probably mentally catalogued Daleks and Cybermen as “metal beasties” and “the other metal beasties”, and made fun of the Doctor for never, ever landing the TARDIS even remotely where he intended, but still called him a clever wee chappie and would follow this rumpled-looking little Englishman to the ends of the earth without hesitation?

And then remember how the Time Lords ripped the Doctor’s companions away from him and wiped their memories, and Jamie woke up in the middle of the Battle of Culloden with a redcoat shooting at him, and the Doctor was exiled on Earth with a broken TARDIS so he could never find them again?

And then remember that one time on the Scottish moors when Ten used the name Doctor McCrimmon.

I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT JAMES ROBERT MCCRIMMON OKAY.
