[Speicher]

It won't take me that long, surely?

[Kirstie]

I was 15 the very first time I went in a pub (excluding the cricket club bars I, er, drank in after a match) - The Rising Sun in Brentwood.

I had 25p on me (1975) and didn't know how much a pint was (it was cheaper at the cricket club) so I asked for a half to be on the safe side!
Unfortunately I was only familiar with light and bitter!
To the barman's credit he replied, 'We don't do halves of light and bitter', so I immediately and bravely asked for a pint!
It cost 22p!

Another mate of mine, on his very first time in a pub (aged 16), coolly said, 'Hello barman, pint of the usual, please!'

Any pub-moment stories?

I'd been drinking under age for quite a time and thought I'd got away with it, till aged about 20 went in in fancy dress as a schoolboy,
when some wag at the bar suggested I shouldn't be served as I was under age,the barmaid replied, "I've been serving him since he was 14 so I'm not going to stop now."

A pint of Banks's please barman, even though it has just gone up 10p

 

[Slowgrind]

Bloomin Scousers!!!!!! Sore throat and a muzzy head, (had a few Grolsch watching the match) Wait till next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Speicher]

Sore throat, muzzy head? aahhh, make yourself comfy on the sofa.

 

[Slowgrind]

Any more lager goin though????????????????

 

[Speicher]

I am sure there is. We have a new Barman tonight, called Joaquin.

Mr Slowgrind, Stella? ice cold?

BTW how did you choose your forum name, is it something about how slow you cycle or your dancing skills ?

 

[Speicher]

Careful Speciher - could've been someting else entirely

Er yes, I am old wise enough to realise that, so I phrased the question carefully.

 

[fossyant]

Drinking ice cold Carling in the garden - taking advantage of what sun we have (with laptop) !!!

 

[Speicher]

I was going to have a shower, and then fetch a Chinese take-away. But I am now trying to help Paulus with some sums, in "thought for a week".
Fossyant, can you help him out? pleeease.

 

[fossyant]

Even I can add that one up, even after a few beers - told him to get back to school !!!

 

[Speicher]

Well, in my defence, could I say that I was making my usual mistake.

I was trying ever so hard to illustrate in incorrectivity of his sums, without being in the least bit rude. Fossyant, you weren't rude, just funny!
