Adelardus Bruin

5/5. A heavenly- and heavily-scented ale sampled from the tap, impressively delicate for its type.

Queues and queue jumpers. Crowds and crowded spaces. There are great art galleries and there’s the Louvre.

Stop ACTA!

Hello, you. I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name as those guys. I'm a user experience consultant, expatriate, traveller, writer and pro cycling enthusiast.

I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert. I started my website in 2005 and I've been running it ever since.
