The student union at my polyversity served a drink called "Damage" that consisted of almost a pint of snakebite with a shot of Blue Bols and a splash of orange juice (an optional vodka could be added on special occasions.) The resulting concoction was an unmistakable bright greeen.Originally posted by cailin maith View Post...a pint of snakebite...
One night I drank something in the region of 7 or 8 pints of that - the exact figure is somewhat hazy. I was very, very ill for quite a while after that...
Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?Comment

On that note...Originally posted by wc2 View PostChicken Curry and boiled rice please.
Down the pub last night (Saturday, not Sunday) a bloke who used to work there, and can be a bit of a pain, phoned the place up (after closing time) hooting about wanting to pop in for a late drink.
The girlies on the staff had kept relaying the manager's message that he wasn't welcome, but he just kept ringing back.
Anyway... I'd gone for a wazz before finishing the remains of my pint, and as I headed back the phone started going again. The manager, by now sitting down in the hope of relaxing for a few minutes before they (the staff) all headed up town to go clubbing, shouted "<insert name>, answer that phone and tell him to fsck off!"
Popping behind the bar, I picked up the phone:
[Me]: "Hello, Hong Kong Takeaway!"
[DH]: "Oh right, yeah, course it is, yeah, I want to order a pizza!"
[Me]: "Hello, Hong Kong Takeaway! We don't do pizza! OK, Bye!"
[Me]: <hangs up>
He didn't call back - possibly because my Chinese-accent-mimicry is based on how Anglicised Chinese people speak, rather than on racist stereotypes
