The leaning tower of pint glass

I'm busy with various things - not least the vulgar grind of preparing for a VAT return - so there's no time for blogging. Sorry about that. To keep you entertained, here's a photo of barman Eddie's successful attempt to balance three pint glasses in a tower. One of our favourite regulars, Percy, seems to have migrated to behind the jump in order to witness the spectacle at closer quarters. Friday night was very boozy.

Those of you who subscribe to Beers of the World will have seen a short, half-page piece by myself in the beer and food section. I realise now that the profile photo I sent them was inappropriate. I didn't know they'd print it that big. I hope my mum never sees it.

VAT returns? You have my sympathy.

To be fair, my accountant's going to do the hard work. It's just a question of pulling all my papers into order. No mean feat. I'm used to a paperless office, you see.

Is your tax return likely to be like Bernard Black of Black Books'?

This Friday night will be plenty boozy as my entire office descend upon your pub for my farewell drinks. Im getting rather excited..

Damn, if only I lived in London!!!!

Tim, that's what I like to hear. A crowd from your shop were in last night, as it happens.

I reckon ales on Friday are likely to be Landlord, Harvey's, Summer Lightning and Alton's Pride. Although I have some Ringwood and some Workie Ticket using up space in the cellar so they might make an appearance instead.

Tim said...

I don't mind what's on - there will be something suitable to drink. I'll probably pop in a few times this week as I am not exactly busy waiting out my notice period.

Jeffrey said...

Tim, I like your style. Essentially beer tastes fairly similar anyway.

It's 10:03AM here, and I am drinking a Delirium Tremens in an over-sized wine glass while laying down vocals on another new track!! At this rate I'll have an album to go along with t-shirts by the end of the year.

Bell, just so you know, if I were there Friday, I'd have 3 pints of Harveys, followed by 3 pints of Summer Lightning, followed by 3 pints of Landlord and a small whisky! In that exact order!

Wurst, when using just Jeff's surname, manages to sound just like Bob Mortimer's 'Graham Lister' adressing Vic Reeves. Using just the typed word, too. It's uncanny :)

I am familiar with those guys. They had a single in the 80's called "Dizzy."

You and me both. Will need a couple of those pints by the time I've finished.
