[QUOTE=Surf;15109137]finished work now.

a coach load of people turned up half an hour before the end of my shift and shattered my idleness.

and they were all from north wales. for some reason a glass is always a half pint and they have to refer to everything by its full name.

"I'll have a pint of carling extra cold"

"oh ok well i was just going to take your drink and put it in the oven but if its extra cold i guess i shouldn't"

/bitching[/QUOTE]

Well, if you went into a pub and said "can i have a larger please" and they give you a carlsberg when you wanted a Carling, your not gonna be best pleased are you.

As far as im aware, Carling and Carling extra cold are totally different drinks are they not.

Yeah. If you ask for a Guinness, they giev you a Guiness, not a Guiness extra cold. Why do you think there are two different taps.

there's only one carling tap. we don't even sell it in bottles.

I don't know, at the end of a shift it starts grating on you.

and they're not really different drinks, they come from the same barrel, just pumped in differently.

Lol my granddad met the guitarist from Biomechanical.
Apparently he lives like 10 minutes away and does guitar lessons \m/

How many Guinness taps are there?

one

goes something like

strongbow, guinness, brains smooth, carling, becks, stella, coke pump, budwieser, ales which switch around

i think

Heh, strange. All the pubs near me have two Guinness taps.

You guys are just riveting :p

I'm going on a barcrawl for my birthday.
Anyone nearby can come if they buy me booze.

[QUOTE=Wish;15110100]Hmm, a lot of pubs seem to sell Beck's now. It's a good thing.[/QUOTE]

Becks is a good thing.

Pro tip: let the tap run for a split second before placing the glass underneath or you'll get too much head.

[QUOTE=Mr. Black;15110183]Heh, strange. All the pubs near me have two Guinness taps.[/QUOTE]

Just one extra cold. Extra cold tastes better anyway.

[QUOTE=Pastorius;15110527]You guys are just riveting :p[/QUOTE]

I could also name all the ales, but I felt dull enough as it was. :(

The pub I worked at must have sold about 70% just Carling.

yeah, same.

£2.50 for a pint is alright.

I miss uni prices. £1 a pint is so good.

£2.10 where I was working.

Yeah I spent about every night down my hall's bar last year. There were 6 halls all in a cluster, and each hall had it's own bar.

Ours worked on a happy half hour system.

From 8-8.30 9-9.30 and 10-10.30 it was a point a pint, all other times it was £1.65. Just meant a mad rush to the bar as the hour struck.

I've got to find a way to sneak back into the hall bar this year. The guy who ran it was weird. He hated students ffs. But for some reason he loved us.

You were in Bristol right? Which halls? I stayed in Churchill (I think) for a night for a gig once.

Wouldn't be hard to get into any of the hall bars near me, all you would have to do is walk in. But you'd be a weird outsider. Our main Uni Bar is in the union, and you have to show ID to get in, so that would be harder.

We had to show our hallcard, the one that got us dinner etc. You could sign guests in as well.

We shared our bar between about four halls. Not very big halls though. My room was about twenty feet from the bar, which was nice and convenient.

carling is rank

becks is nice

when no-one's looking

i enjoy a corona

my unlce moved into his pub today! VERY NICE

Negative, Guinness is the best lager ever.

[QUOTE=Squirrel;15111445]I met the whole band tbh, plus autographs and pics with them.[/QUOTE]

That's cool. They've all left the band though haven't they?

Carlesberg and Stella > All other lagers

I'm a Grolsch/1664 man myself.

[QUOTE=Frankie;15113634]Carlesberg and [B]Stella [/B]> All other lagers[/QUOTE]

WIFE BEATER

EDIT: 1664 is great, and i can enjoy carlsberg

we all know that the best is

Magners

though

Magners and Strongbow are my favorite 2 ciders.

[QUOTE=Happy;15113572]That's cool. They've all left the band though haven't they?[/QUOTE]

Im not sure tbh.

I saw them a few months back when they supported severe torture. I knew nothing of them before i got there, really.

Except that they cover painkiller.

[QUOTE=Mr. Black;15113518]Negative, Guinness is the best lager ever.[/QUOTE]

Guiness is a stout...

[QUOTE=Frankie;15113676]Magners and Strongbow are my favorite 2 ciders.[/QUOTE]

Strongbow is the worst i can still drink

I'd like to try some bulmers actually

Bulmers and Gaymers cider is nice too.

Strongbow Cirus is pretty nice.

Its luminous orange though and looks really unnatural.
