He's cured?

ITS A MIRACLE!

I love real ale but those events have too many beards and sandals for my liking.

On the blokes too.

 

Oh you should buy him a copy of that photo.

Use it to bribe him.

 

Yep he's one of them and he's had a gastric band fitted as he just cant lose weight conventionally. Tried everything he has poor bloke.

 

Seriously, buy a copy of the photo.

Christ, wanna go halves on a banner of it by Mauled??

 

I'm having a look later I think.

Went on the Saturday last year and they'd ran out of everything except bottles, so it was a bit ****.

Couldn't get time off work (even though it was my birthday) so today is the best I can do. If there's nowt, I'll be off to a pub. Fancy that.

 

I bet he was bitter about it.

 

Frothing at the mouth, I imagine.

 

He is a lager than life character I suppose

 

Unless he's a mild mannered chap.

 

Or has mixed emotions.

 

Missed doing the mxed joke by 4 minutes. Meh I'm feeling a bit scrumpy now

 

He could make a quick hop to the next pub, there'd be barley any queues there.

 

That's the spirit.

 

Sound like a bit if a rum lad !

 

Went Friday, top night. Excellent ale, and some fine warm black pudding pork pies with mushy peas
If you don't like real ale you are a child

 

I went last night and spent 45 minutes queuing. One guy kicked off at the bouncer shouting that it was a shambles. After half an hour the Chief Organiser came outside and explained that their license says that they can only hold 500 people so they had to have a one in-one out policy at maximum capacity, which was fair enough really.

 

Queued about 25 mins on Friday
To be fair they explained why early and it wasn't any hassle
I particularly liked it when a woman strode up with some free pass thing ( saving her the grand total of about £2.50 in reality) and demanded she should be able to queue jump. The bouncer politely checked it and told her she would indeed get in free, but she would still have to queue
I was looking forward to going before the Liverpool game today though !

 

there is also a GIN festival...oh my golly gosh!!
