When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

             1/2 cup corn flour

 

             110ml soda water

 

             110ml bundeburg ginger beer

 

Once mixed together leave in fridge for an hour before using. Tastes a treat!

anything with heaps of flavour

a India Pale Ale is a winner for sure or a bitter beer, no point using weak flavoured beer it defeats the purpose. Pure Blonde comes up all right with the fruity aftertaste
