Curse! I was going to have a day off.
Have tomorrow off.
Though I rather suspect that’ll take care of itself.
Get crackin’ lad, time’s a-wastin’.
I’m on my second Bishop’s Finger. I feel quite as languid as a senior cleric flicking the Vs.
*Thinks: that’s either been generated by AI, or an infinite number of monkeys, or…
…yeah it’s Moose*.
Good work, fella.
And yea I say unto you,
“Never ever bloody anything ever”
Abstinence? Well…yeah…I guess that could work.
Not for you though.
I mean, c’mon, let’s be serious here, right?
Bishops Finger? Fnarrr….
*checks watch*
Advisory: Mods, can I just point out that it’s actually a criminal offence to serve someone who’s evidently drunk when they enter the premises.
I’d rather be evidently drunk than ecumenically aroused.
I challenge you to say that again, without hesitation, repetition, or deviation, after another three pints of @blue-boy‘s Ringwood 49er.
Anyone heard back from @blue-boy yet?
You’re my besht mate you are….
Arrest me oshifer!
Early start, Bonesy?
You’ve been on those ‘breakfast beers’ all day?
On it.
I have 2 bottles of Duchesse De Bourgone (Belgium), couple cans of Red Stripe (Jamaica), Doom Bar (Cornwall) and Newcastle Brown (oop North).
The international imbibing will be rounded off with Makers Mark Bourbon (US of A).
In related news, I have recently discovered that daytime drinking plays havoc with my digestive system. Evenings only for me now.
Oh good show, Mr D! Very international indeed, that’s the spirit (Swidt? Oh, please yourselves, Jeez, tough room).
That’s impressive @rigid-digit, all that tonight?
The intention is there, but the Doom Bar and Newcastle may be saved for tomorrow.
Plus I’ve just found a bottle of Duvel and a bottle of Kwak – tonight could just be Belgian night
(probably won’t dodge the Makers Mark though – just to keep the international theme)
An observation, well 2 actually.
1. Aldi Salt & Vinegar Peanuts and Kaskews make for a fine accompaniment
2. With Belgian Beers, you get drunk from the feet upwards. My head is fine, but my legs are not really connected anymore
‘Kaskews’, you say?
Interesting.
*Flips notepad, licks pencil*
… go on?
I’m sorry, I have a cold.
(a cold what?)
Bless shew.
It’s c.20.30 as I post this, @freddy-steady, and still no reply from @rigid-digit…
…I think we should draw our own inferences from this.
I’m predicting…Saturday, mid-afternoon…a post consisting almost entirely of typos and regret.
Anyone wanna give me a price on that?
Edit: Oh and indeed Blimey! I beg your very pardon, @rigid-digit . Big rispeck.
Evend
Yeah, right… ‘evend’.
This obviously doesn’t count; I’ll stick with my original punt.
Evend to you too!
Whoa whoa, easy @freddy-steady, let’s not spoil a good night, you know what he’s like when he’s in drink, the lad Digit.
Or that expensive bridgework, narmean?
Just warming up with a pint of home brewed Ringwood 49er…
Sell Ringwood 49er to us, @blue-boy, in five punchy bullets.
Think of the potential market; there are DOZENS of us on here.
It’s cheap
It’s potent
It’s on tap in a keg so you don’t have to open a bottle or a can or anything
It’s an artisan craft beer lovingly brewed by my good self
Did I say it was cheap?
Can we order online?
Also, what’s the ABV, to the nearest, say, 10?
Every day is international beer day.
We have a Mission Statement!
Or is that our Values?
I get so confused about these things, these days.
Back in my day, it was simply: ‘Oi you there…yes, YOU SIR… come over here quicksharp and hammer that thing down flat until no damn fool can rip their toenail off on it’.
Mind you, that *was* the Golden Age of Dentistry, I suppose.
I like to think of it as a core valumission – what’s a valumission? It’s a disruptive hybrid that combines the best of these two important concepts. For any time-poor business this is an efficient accelerator towards neatly encapsulating both the values and the mission statement.
By the way, my accountant tells me that yesterday’s invoice remains unpaid – if this can be attended to by COB today, I will appreciate it. If not I can be at your place tomorrow first thing to collect the payment in cash.
Well thankyou for that…er.. clarification, but, as any damn fule accountant kno (yes, even the Colonial ones), standard business Ts & Cs for settlement is 28 days innit?
And anyways.. cor look at them dogs fightin’! No, not over there… THEM ONES DIRECKLY BEHIND YOU!!!
*Legs it*
Michael Hestletine, when he was a minister, once told struggling businesses that they don’t have to pay their suppliers on time if cashflow is tight.
Anyway, I’m in reception and I’m not leaving.
“F*ck business!”
Also, you can stay in Reception as long as you like, I’m on the back nine.
Late to the party, but I celebrated last night with an imported bottle of Snow from the evocatively-named China Resources Snow Breweries. At a suitably frosty temperature, it slid down a treat (something you can’t say of Bishops Fingers), and I recommend it.
Describe it, using some of your best words.
I think we might be able to flush out King, S. that way.
On which, any update?
