Travels With Nate

I hate Mark Landells with a passion. He's one of my favourite tweeters because, well, he's a funny guy mostly because you can never tell whether or not he's being serious.

For context, if you don't know me already, I am a beer geek but I also have a love for Carling so that is the joke. I was originally asked to do a video review because I did a couple of dreadful ones before whilst drunk but I refused. I still have 2 c...
