>After the cobblers spouted by Malcolm Gluck a couple of weeks ago, beer writer Melissa Cole challenged the Guardian’s wine writer to a beer tasting. It can be seen in all its glory here. Malc clearly had his mind made up before he arrived, but his body language speaks volumes. If he was in a boxing ring, he’d be on the ropes. And as for beer drinkers being ‘unsexy… sad sacks and losers’ – I don’t think you should be lobbing rocks from that particular glass house you’re standing in, Mr Gluck.

>I’ve always hated people who say ‘pacifically’ instead of ‘specifically’; as bad as those who say ‘nucular’! As to the discussion, it is about as intellectual as arguing that rice is better than potato…they’re different. If I was travelling on an aeroplane with Malcolm Gluck, I might reach for the parachute – or throw him out!
