Me too. It just comes down to what you like and don't like. I like vodka & Dr Pepper. I know plenty of people who wouldn't drink it but its their choice.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
Sam Smith's Old Brewery Bitter, popped into the Chandoos opposite the National Portrait Gallery for a quick one on Saturday. When I saw it was a Sam's house had to have two. Art always makes more sense under the influence.But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the youngerComment

It's a bit less hoppy compared to Bitburger, Warsteiner etc, which is probably why I prefer it TBH.Originally posted by sasguru View PostI've tried the Waitrose one - seemed a bit bland compared with some other German's i've tried?
Quite partial to Jever.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

I really really hate Sam Smiths pubs. Their fondness for non branded stuff makes their bar look like some kind of 'My First Pub' toy bar. There is one near us that is like something out of Delivernece...you can almost hear the Banjo music outside!Originally posted by Gibbon View PostSam Smith's Old Brewery Bitter, popped into the Chandoos opposite the National Portrait Gallery for a quick one on Saturday.

I really really like them, because they look after their beer, don't have music and are generally cheaper.Originally posted by BoredBloke View PostI really really hate Sam Smiths pubs.

Used to drink a lot for of lager in my teens. Now rarely drink the grain (prefer the red grape), but on a hot summers day (one of the 3 in England) I am the Duvel or a Berliner Weiss.Comment

They look after their beer depending on who Humphrey has in his pub at that time. They have a high turnaover of managers because he won't allow them to use too many bar staff - so the managers have to do more shifts - lower costs. They don't have music because he is too much of a tight arse to pay for it. Yes they are cheap, but so is Tesco! One pub near us was refurbished and they had open fires in each of the rooms and he instructed that they should be lit at all times because it encourages people to drink more. No it doesn't it makes you not want to go into his play pub with tulip beer and boiling hot rooms. I'd rather stay in than have to endure his pubsOriginally posted by Gibbon View PostI really really like them, because they look after their beer, don't have music and are generally cheaper.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Well I can only speak for the few I've been in and one which I use quite often and they're fine. Actually loud music is one of the tricks to make people drink quicker.Originally posted by BoredBloke View PostThey look after their beer depending on who Humphrey has in his pub at that time.

Really liked this one when I worked in Belgium, although there was stiff competition from a whole range of others.

Which reminds me, off to Brussels for the weekend this friday!!

Recently discovered this one....which is nice!!
