Do you have any specials?

We don't have a jukebox.

FFS, Zen - like any teenage bar staff will know who or what The Specials were!

Or a jukebox, for that matter.

@Clarko_son bought me a bovril recently. J'deteste bovril.

You're not meant to like it. Nobody drinks it outside football grounds. You drink it because you had your first Bovril on the terraces as an 8 year old boy when you were frozen to the bone and on the very brink of hypothermia. Then at every game through a cold winter you had a Bovril and it warmed you to your soul. Now, 40-50 years later, you just can't go to a game without a Bovril. It's your own wee tradition. 

 

Aye it's bowfin' though.

You seem every bit as mental as your ancestors.

If you don’t mind me asking what are you basing that on?

I had the cold at the weekend. Bovril got me through it. 

Delicious when made with pepper.

At work I have a jar of Bovril in my bag, prefer it to tea or coffee.

If you were at the Banks O Dee v Ayr Utd game a few years ago I changed my order in the pie queue.

In queue at half time and one of the lasses emerged from the kitchen looked at the queue and said ' oh no we only have two pies left' quietly to her colleague. I was next and asked for 'two pies and a bovril'.

If you were there and missed a pie they were fine

I'm not having this. There's no way having pepper in bovril is worse than some of the fucking disgusting things he rams down his gullet.

Pepper in a Bovril is excellent. It's basically beefy peppery gravy.

[Brother Blades]

Count me in for pepper in Bovril too, caveat is that it must be white pepper!

On that note, is there a petty/crap thievery thread? I think my best haul was a bar stool although I left it halfway up the road as kept tripping over it because pished. If PC Cabe’s still lurking it’ll give him something to do trying to track IP addresses to issue warrants

In his latter years, my old man had a cupboard full of chored Costa sugars and other condiment sachets. I think I’ve inherited his trait.

Good idea for a thread though.
