They were supped on the train whilst going to an awayday so I felt like a hard midget. I expect the 10% version is only available in Denmark. 🙁 Speaking of Denmark - 24 cans for a hundred and forty quid, and they pick the cunts... Bargain. 'Free' delivery though. At least buying these magic bean brews locally theoretically keeps money here. Although in actuality it probably ends up in the tills of Milanese fashion houses, French Estate Agents, German Supercar Dealerships, Swedish Yachtyards and the pockets of Peruvian 'exporters'... £4.99 in B&M if the scutters haven’t cleared them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Home Bargains Speccy deal was £3 per litre, but 2.5% less in strength so... Anyhow, for the craft lot, a message that is in your vernacular, so might actually register, you're being swizzed, hoodwinked, gypped, bamboozled, duped - you've been had...

Youri McAnespie Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 And the can is obviously to appeal to ageing fans of the shite Jamiroquai. So quadruple twat points (price, JK love and orange and chocolate in beer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Or is it meant to be that Capitol Building cockhead? Either way it's probably still fermenting in the can - so prepare for explosions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted March 22, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'm not drinking through the week. But Today has already been about as good as having a wank then just blood and sand comes out of your chamber at the end. So I'm off to the grog shop in a bit. Just weighing up whether to go quantity or abv. If it's quantity, a case of something cheap and nasty If it's abv, I might just buy 6 DDH's and slip into a coma by the end of Only Connect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Football Ventures should set up a Unibol Brewery like at the new Spurs stadium. They could use all the runoff from the roof, pigeon shit, fungus from the bogs etc. in the brews. You lot could even have your own little concessions - tenner a tankard, free pencil and notepaper to keep track of what you've supped (which is all actually the same slop just branded differently).

Old fella used to come in the Alma on an afternoon and have 4 or 5 bottles and a natter (was always quiet on a midweek afternoon). He wobbled out one day and I decided to have a few to pass the time. Never kept any in the fridge so room temperature it was. A dense brew but tasty enough. Think I ended up asleep in a corner at the Dog and Partridge around 9pm.

It's better served ambient as it's an isotonic sports drink. That old fella was Louis Zamparini or whatever he's called. Why would you do a shift in The Alma then go to The D&P tho'? Weren't you all grebbed out by then? I always got funny looks in The Alma, when I stopped dressing like the bassist from Malevolent Creation...It was a necessity tho', there were only about ten metal girls in Bolton back then, a change of image was needed to widen my scope.

I always got funny looks in The Alma, when I stopped dressing like the bassist from Malevolent Creation...It was a necessity tho', there were only about ten metal girls in Bolton back then, a change of image was needed to widen my scope. After an afternoon working the graveyard shift and having to serve & converse with some of Bolton's finest, the D&P was a veritable treat. Though I never, ever went in sober. Not once. John McGinlay once set fire to Jimmy Phillips coat on the bar in the Alma when a few of the team were on an end of season bender around town. They were blind drunk. The Alma would often be a "let's go in there if we dare and chuckle at the grebs" stop off for those destined to end up in Ritzy or the Swan trying to finger some deadeyed roughers from Breightmet. As it was, I picked up Alan Thompson's pint and threw it on the flaming jacket before the whole pub went up. Thommo was at the stage were speech had deserted him so he just had a thousand yard stare. Jimmy Phillips thought I'd set fire to his coat so wanted to punch me, and McGinlay and Phil Brown just stood giggling before necking their Newcy Brown and staggering out onto Bradshawgate. Phil Brown's tie was a sight to behold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Are you sure it was end of season? I'd regularly see Thommo on a Friday afternoon rather merry the day before a game... I never really got why some were hostile toward me in there, perhaps they thought I was a 'tourist' on account of my clobber? I never wore a tie though. I imagine Browny sporting a garish silk kipper tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine Browny sporting a garish silk kipper tie. Brpwny was sporting a plastic, see through tie with water and plastic fish floating in it. The Alma was surprisingly inclusive. It was only moody if people were obviously taking the piss. Otherwise, no-one gave a fuck how you were dressed. Why would they? Hardly Milan in there was it? One group of 4 lads came in about half 8 one Friday night, clearly on the pisstake. They all had trousers and shoes on so they could get into their New Romantic nightclub - Ritzy or Atlantis probably, which had these comical dress codes. The silly wankers. They started having a pop at some of the assembled members of the Alma "community" and about 5 minutes later were out the back looking for their teeth on the cobbles. Never saw them again.

Youri McAnespie Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I never considered The Alma 'moody' - I knew most of the older blokes who could take care of themselves and didn't concern myself with the silly wankers who were pretty much New Romantic tossers in different gear. I never used to see these types at gigs or in the record shops, in it for the image a lot of 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never used to see these types at gigs or in the record shops, in it for the image a lot of 'em. The arguments over the jukebox were always fun. It was a real bone of contention and massive rows would break out when we were updating the vinyl. Jilted John survived every single cull. As did Ozzy. Then the CD era ushered in the advent of being able to play album tracks rather than just singles. Fuck me. There was one misery-shrouded mini-greb who used to come in and just put "The End" on by the Doors about 8 times on the bounce. I'd cut the track by the 3rd go and he'd threaten to leave, but never fucking did. Just trudged back to the jukebox to waste another few quid. The huwers from Shifnall St across the way would pop in occasionally for half a Stella but really they were just washing their fannies in the sink and shooting up. One of them offered me a freebie if I agreed to let her use the backyard now and again for quickies. I didn't, obviously. Was always nice to know they'd just fished a day old condom out of their soilpipe and left it on the cistern, before necking their lager though.

Youri McAnespie Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 The jukebox was one way to prove I knew my onions despite my garb. I always assumed street prozzies mainly just steered their punters to hand or oral relief. Jesus, it must be desperation on both parts to go the whole hog. I wonder if they use the amenities at The Little John or The Irish Centre/Nightingale now the centre of trade has shifted? Maybe that Muslim Wedding Centre accommodates? Nipped through Coe Street on Saturday, there were about four ladies of the night, maskless 😡, plying their trade... Loads of whoremasters kerbcrawling an' all.

Still loads in at Burnden last night. Then went over to the new Lidl and they had 99p 'craft' cans chilled to perfection in a fridge. The Gods are deliberately toying with my recent commitment to temperance. I didn't dare go in the scutteris B&M lest they had those giant FAXE trampjuices in, I'd have crumbled there and then.

Jay Kay is responsible for the majority of wickedness in the world already, if the price of a pint increases because of him he should be sent to The Hague to receive the justice he richly deserves. Incidentally, how many times has the twat been justifiably assaulted? Searching for the above suggested it wasn't an isolated incident.
