Well, er, yeah. It's a lonely life sometimes out here in the hardship
regions. And the inverter is indeed a battery bank - a man comes around and
fills it up with distilled water every few months.

Then it's all exotic.

Kebabs exotic just about everywhere,
currywurst exotic in France,
crêpes exotic in Germany.
And good food exotic in the UK.

and so on.

Such behaviour is reported if not regularly then occasionally. Usually with
either the word "medevac" or the words "relatives accompanied the body" in
the article.

ah, no.
A "real" ginger beer plant is a mixture of some yeasts and other, I think
bacteria, and possibly a protozoan or two.
You can get the correct strains from a bio lab in Germany (or you could),
at extortionate prices and probably after being vetted by the US Homeland
Security twits.

AFAIR it starts life in a dry form.

The BBC knows how to do it
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A827426

"The Recipe

Producing your own ginger beer is very easy. It is produced in a biological
process in much the same way as yoghurt. You will first need to create what is
called a ginger beer plant2. It will be ten days before the first batch will be
ready.

Ingredients

* 25g Dry yeast (50g of fresh)
* 2tbsp ground ginger
* 2tbsp caster sugar
* ½pt (300ml) water
... "

Don't try this at home, Magda!
