Read an awesome article today about low alcohol beers – or near-beers as they are called. Can’t remember if I’ve ever heard anyone use that phrase but I’m now adopting it from this point on.

Feb 1st is suddenly upon us and it’s all go at febfast HQ (think: a small hamster running frantically in it’s little wheel). If there’s one thing that’s currently NOT on our minds it’s sex!
