Not in Crawley Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Tried that Madri - dunno, perhaps its me but thought it was a bit gassy and sweet. Neck Oil is another grapefruit one that seems to give me a headache as I'm drinking it and that Blue Moon we used to get served for free at work as MillerCoors used to have a suite of offices in the building and used to be loads left over. Maybe I just don't like lager anymore! I'll have a Pilzner, but bitter and then wine with food seem to be my go to. I do like a Negroni before a meal though. There's a decent place on Willam St in Covent Garden called Bancone if you are in central London (really good pasta resturant) anyway they do a White Negroni which is Lillet Blanc Vermouth, Suze and Gin which I had last week and subsequently went and bought the ingredients.

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted May 15, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2023 Me and Loft were on Neck Oil a few weeks ago in London town. I didn't fancy it when he got the first, but the bloke next to me was on an IPA with only about four bubbles on top so I gave it a go and stopped on it all day. I wasn't rough the next day, and had managed to get off the train at the right stop, so it was indeed win/win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did work for the club at the time, let's just say after a few colleagues disgraced themselves we were booted off the account and told never to come back! Thankfully I switched to wine after a couple but some folk were a total mess and the toilets looked like someone had thrown talc everywhere.

gonzo Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) My greenking contract just cut back from monthly cleans,some fortnightly to bi-monthly. Thats after cancelling from December to March. Effectively 5 cleans a year on gaffs less than a mile from the sea. Absolute buffoons. Theyll look like shit and fucks me over in the process.
