    I would say

    from and engineers perspective that though it may look half full its likely that it is not.</p>

    yes but.....

    the bar man didn't give it me, so your analogy is ******.</p>

    My own personal thoughts would be that I've had the occasional bad pint of this kind of ale in the past but the first half of this pint was bloody brilliant, theres no reason to expect any different from the other half so I can't wait to sup it.</p>

    It is definitely half empty because

    ...there is a frothy ring a few inches above the beer level. So it has been fuller and is losing liquid.</p>

    It would only be half full if it had already been filled to that level.</p>

    The picture appears distorted, but.....

    to the eye of an ex-liquor stock-taker, the glass contains less than half of it's capacity.

    RE: ok smartarse

    Cos it looks a bit slanty, as if it's been tipped sideways for a slurp like.</p>

    If it had been swished the level would be the same all round.</p>

    Ahem.</p>

    remind me to be more selective when I choose pictures to demonstrate analogies

    my point has been totally lost

    I concur.

    It looks about 40% full at best.
