    Beer at lunchtime

    (hic)

    3 pints. Is this acceptable in a recession? Haven't got a lot to do this afternoon, other than post here of course

    3 pints of a good real ale should be enough to set you up for the afternoon.

      Three pints is all I can manage for an evening session without seriously regretting it in the morning these days. Having that many beers for lunch would be fatal.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        If I had 3 pints at lunch time there would be serious trouble... if the wife came home and found I hadn't even bothered to empty the dish washer.

        Would be fine if I was still working though.

          It was a mix.

          Two pints of London Pride followed by a swift pint of Heineken (Export). Suggested a cheeky half to old drinking mate pal, but he wisely said "we've got to get back to work".

            Having to go back to work after 3 pints would kill me off. All that I'd be able to manage after that would be a silly grin.

            I love Friday. Especially around this time when my wanders and I start thinking about that first pint. Great. Roll on 5.
            I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.
