🍻🍷 The Map of 🇲🇷 Booze thread whatever the title says (or is changed to when moderately intoxicated)

Back in the 90’s I was Goatboy, travelling the land in my white van (a petrol mercedes)
I went at weekends to the All Format Computer Fairs where basivmcally we had Car Boit sales for computer shit.
I tried to be good was able to go back to places I had already sold at, we also got gret weekend deals at 4 star hotels i could never afford.
As a gang we had some great nights out.

At the core was a guy - Bruce - who made money in gaming before these days. He was tbh a bore but a really intellectual one, he knew his shit.
So for all of us it was a Symbiotic relationship i earnt the rent and kearnt some serious hard arse sales skills which got me to Dubai.

So Bruce has been in town, so I done tour guiding.
We did everything, he loved it we both listened to each others stories, he brought Glen Morangie, paid for the meals and got me shit faced last 2 days.

Great days great fun will take my knee days to recover

Been a while since I found any Ale on sale - Lidl have come up trumps this past 2 weeks.

The Bitter is lovely

This could go on the “I’m so fucked off I want to maim” thread

Those stupid Danish cunts at Carlsberg are discontinuing Old Thumper (along with 10 other ales including Bombardier). They got their claws on these when they took over Marstons a while back - they almost immediately closed the small breweries including Ringwood, and now they are killing the beers. Half the Jennings range is getting the shaft as well.

May I recommend the products of the Hogsback Brewery? I personally favour their Ripsnorter

“Carlsberg don’t do asset stripping, but if they did…”

I worked with Danes back in the day
I understand why Carlsberg made that decision

All utter arrogant morons and all failed when working with us

Any takers? Only £290 for a double…

In my heyday, I reckon it would have cost a couple of grand just to get merry on that. :slightly_frowning_face::smile:

Popped into majestics to pick up some wine for the troops as a pressie.

Totally got upsold by the lad behind the till and ended up buying a load of stuff for me as well, including half their fine wines

I’m going back in tomorrow to offer him a job - it the only thing I can think of to recoup some of what I’ve spent
