I don't get that.  Ale is served at room temperature, but its not like the fizzy water you know to be beer.

Beer - lager or bitter - is served cold.

I'll have you know that I drink Mexican beer!

You don't drink **** like the fake Budweiser they sell in the U.S. You drink microbrews and imports. I'm not even legally allowed to drink, and I know that.

And just to see what the thought of all the British people here on this would be, read the sixth paragraph of this article, written by a tech news site based in the UK: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=20870

DG, those are biscuits. If it's flat and sweet it's a cookie. If it's puffy and designed to go well with butter it's a biscuit. I don't know how to classify those rich tea things. They look like weak cookies to me.

Though not a pom myself, I feel it is my duty to remind you that arguing English with the English is silly.

The queen doesn't invite you round for tea and 'cookies'.

biscuits

[Grug]

Indeed. Biscuits.

Origins...
Biscuit = Middle English bisquit, from Old French biscuit, from Medieval Latin bis coctus.

Cookie = Dutch koekje, diminutive of koek, cake, from Middle Dutch koeke.

Yet again a word has been raped through time....

Once again; THERE IS ONLY A COOKIE!

Really, I've been laughing ever since this thread was started.
