8x500ml Bavaria Lager Cans at Morrison's for £5 (£4.50 with NHS Discount, Traf will be delighted to hear it's been extended again, 'til Christmas).

Anyhow I had two of those ice cold in a pint pot, 'topped' with lemonade, and a Bailey's coffee last night (double 'hello sailor') so I'm as fresh as a daisy.

I was hungover 'til Tuesday last week, if I hadn't puked my ring up (bad pint) on the way home I'd probably still be suffering...

I just can't hack 11+ drinks in a three/four-ish hour window at my age anymore.

It's slow and steady from now on in.

Yes, I'm over the moon that those who've been able to work full time and get loads of overtime over the last 18 months are able to buy their shopping cheaper than the rest of us.

Why wouldn't I be?

We get 20% off Nandos too. Wanna borrow my I.D badge? 

@Traf

I knew you'd be overjoyed.

Some mean-spirited firms limit discounts to groceries only.

Good old Morrison's only exclude; tobacco, top-ups, lottery/scratchcards and fuel.

So get stocking up on the Booze you heroes of the NHS...

They deserve the reward...

You can volunteer for as little as four hours a week and you'll get an NHS I.D. to flash at the tills.

I'll get the telephone number if y'like?

Nandos?
I'd want more than 20 off, but ta xxx

I should also reiterate that I do think certain sectors of the NHS have performed heroics the last 2 years, but (a) they've been paid for it and (b) many of the workshop cunts haven't.

Nah, I'm good despite being broke (mentally, physically & financially).

I know it sounds cuntish or at the very least churlish, but I just don't think anyone should be singled out this way. I said this on here ages ago that my sister in law was embarrassed about it all.

She's a nurse, she wasn't furloughed, she was able to have as much overtime (at time and a half) as she wanted and she's never made as much as much money for "simply doing my job" (her words, not mine).

She was frontline too, not a doctors surgery receptionist, NHS filing clerk etc etc.

 

As previously discussed, there are folk on Universal Credit now worse off, having to use food banks etc, but they go to Morrisons they pay more than a full time worker for groceries? 

Tell me that's not wrong.

She says that but I bet she's a garageful of Prosecco, Chambord, Gin etc. bought at discount...

You'd be daft not to use it...

If she's frontline she probably puts in more than 10% of time 'off the clock', so why be embarrassed about a tiny perk like Morrison's offer.

I expect it's won them lots of new customers too...

It's all bollocks. We know that. Me and @Rudywill book our two weeks abroad with you for next year. No budget. He's paying.

I'm that hungover I've been sat here for half an hour wondering how you got two 500ml cans, some lemonade, and a Bailey's coffee into one pint pot before I finally twigged you didn't mean all at once...

I had them like a twist on the Partridge 'Ladyboy'...

I did have the Bailey's coffee in a matching (to the pint pot) tumbler glass.

Do it in a mug and it just usually ends up being slightly tepid neat Bailey's.

I think, like the shops already having Christmas Selection Boxes and decorations on the shelves, and GREAT!Tv already airing a channel of Christmas films, I've jumped the gun with the Bailey's Coffee.

It's still September FFS.

My big (inaccessible to anyone but Spiderman) window upstairs has been and still is, half open, since May...

I'll probably be on pints of Bailey's 'Top' (with milk in lieu of Lemonade) by Christmas morning.

Not sure if there's an alcohol free thread.. but the AF Guinness isn't bad fwiw.

Picked some up yesterday to try, got a North dipa from tesco also and a boon kriek cherry lambic.

I’ve had some and it’s decent.

The list of ingredients is a bit weird. What the fuck us fructose???

Irish wives love this 

Fructose is just fruit sugar.

No 

I'm down in Wales for the weekend and most annoyed about it 

As an aside 

September was my lowest month in terms of beer spends since records began (Jan 2020)
