Jonathan still blabbing on about the intricacies of running a bar in the Bay Area when he’s literally the only one interested.

    Gotta fill the time while working, Dave. If one person finds it interesting, good in my book. Do you have anything to share? Any yellow whores to recommend? Needs pics.

      I made lemon and watermelon gin cocktails yesterday and got absolutely rat arsed. Off to Sasha tomorrow night and then down to the Summer house on Saturday. Bliss.

        LT42 is that the home brew gin? If so how does it compare to commercial stuff like Hendricks or Tanqueray?

            jonattonyeah I suppose it’s like the boozers here, majority owned by the big companies so sell all the same booze. It’s only the independents you get some real variety and interesting stuff

              Can’t beat an ice cold pint of Carling Rich.

                Smallman1 especially whilst eating a belly buster and reading the Sun whilst on holiday. Ideally wearing some Union Jack shorts and sporting some nice British bulldog tattoos. Or ultimate winning as everyone I’m sure would agree

                  RichM If I’m honest, Rich, there’s zero difference once all the bits and pieces like your mixer etc are added. Anyone who tells you differently is either full of shit, pretentious, or both.

                      Do you not use totes amaze boutique artisan aromatics?

                        I’ve made Vodka filtered through a coconut and it tasted better than anything you’d spend a 100 quid on. You realise the level of marketing and how easy it is to dupe people with it. When I think of these places that do bottle service with roped off tables filled with idiots spending literally hundreds it just makes me laugh. “I only drink Grey Goose”. Thats fine but allow me to think of you as a complete idiot.

                        It was either Aldi or Lidl who did a blind tasting exercise in Dublin around 2013 for some magazine. They used all the top brands of vodka and their own “house” brands with names like Blawovski and Red Eagle. They used some socialites and a few experts for the tasting. One of the house brands came first. I’m sure all the fancy tasters were mortified. The cost of a bottle was under 20 euro at the time. It just goes to show the power of branding and I’m sure you can apply that to most spirits, beers and ales are obviously more complex.

                          Your whole campaign is a psy-op, Ed

                            I’d like to smack Ed in the neck with a red hot branding iron.

                              Even though I don’t know what this means, I concur!

                                  Lol, thanks Dave!

                                    You said you couldn’t stop watching it. MORE LIES.

                                    Oh yeah that, bunch of mad bastards.

                                    What’s that got to do with a psy-op campaign though?!
