She can now no longer live anywhere other than Elgin. To be fair, if she's a denizen of Elgin, she shouldn't be allowed to live anywhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Fucking boxers pretending to hate each other before every fight just to sell it. Fake as f**k.

A: Karl What's nana's name? A: Skype This is what happens when the kid's mother keeps asking her: Do you want to Skype nana? My oldest daughter thought my sister-in-law was called Maybe Holly, because every time she asked who was going to be at a family event, they'd say all the names and "maybe Holly" (at the time she was pregnant and not keeping well so didn't come to a lot of things). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kneal Down Caster Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 When a new bar person has not been taught how to pour a pint and finds it totally acceptable to hand over a pint with a 2 inch head. Naw young man. Try again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw young man. Try again. If it's a Guinness or a Best or something I could understand it as they can be a nightmare to pour if you haven't been shown how, but if it's a lager the guy is best just quitting now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 When I was Down South recently, I was surprised by the number of times I said "a [insert beer name here] please", only to be asked "pint?". Maybe just me, but I never seem to be asked this up here. Presumed pisshead (or just man) until half pint is specifically asked for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Peroni can be a pain in the arse in their stupid glasses, especially half pints and in warm weather. The Peroni glasses are designed so that you get two inches of head on them anyway. Seen folk arguing about that and how they want it filed to the top like a normal lager only to back down when you spin the glass round and show them the pint mark is exactly where you poured it too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 So many bar folk struggle to pour pints. It always annoys me when they let the tap drip in to the pint which they've sat down under the tap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A half is only acceptable if you over 65 and asking for 'half and a half' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you move from one bar job to another but they won't let you pour a pint during your trial shift because you haven't done licensing training with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 3 hours ago, Bairnardo said: Anyone ordering half pints really has no cause to complain about anyone elses performance in a pub. I was in The State Bar a few weeks ago and at the table next to us there was some Spanish tourists quite happily sitting nursing half pints of Tennents. In the time it took them to drink theirs, my mate and I had skulled 3 pints. They need to up their game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
