$27 a bundle?

Yeah, I don't get it. $11 a whole BBQ chook, a bag of "Proper Chips" (cook them in the oven. Only discovered these from Woolworths due to the local chipping potato shortage) and a large coleslaw for a lesser price and you have a real meal and maybe some leftover for a chicken sandwich the next day.

Yes indeed. Mrs Bealman is partial to Maccas breakfast burgers, and when I got one from the above drive through the other morning, I just about fell out of the car when they told me the price!

Being St Patricks, I thought I'd better indulge the club on it's $8 pint day:

Bealman · March 17, 2023, 06:57:14 AM

Ok, more than one.

Hi George and sláinte

Do they do it big time there with the Irish band etc. or is the bowlo a quiet affair?

Either way, have fun. Will be havin' a few tipples meself later

Pretty quiet. A few people with Irish type shirts on, but mostly Friday is bowls day.

Though as I type this, the place is packed!

I'm not a fan of Guinness so last night when I went out for a few beers with the gym monkeys from fat club I had more than a few of these:

Well, it was Paddy's day and it's green:

Bealman · March 18, 2023, 06:06:01 PM

Is that food colouring in there?

A barman did that to my beer once, saying it doesn't spoil the beer. It bloody well does!

port perran · March 18, 2023, 06:34:15 PM

I think I've tried that at a beer festival.
Tastes great but I'm afraid the colour puts me off.

Trainfish · March 18, 2023, 08:48:53 PM

@Bealman Yes, it's food colouring but it comes from the brewery, not added by the landlord. Tastes fine, if you shut your eyes while drinking it ~~you may spill it~~ you wouldn't have a clue that it is green. It's often on in my local, not just Paddy's day.

Bealman · March 18, 2023, 10:37:36 PM

Well I reckon it does affect the taste, and the barman did it without asking me. As I know him pretty well (I taught both his sons), I told him if he ever did that again he could shove it where the sun don't shine

Bristol?

Bealman · March 19, 2023, 12:03:30 AM

Actually, I've had a beer in Bristol. Spent some time looking for that suspension bridge without success.

Coming over for the NGS show in York, so it might happen again seeing as Mrs B insists on going to the Doc Martin village

And the sun is shining today in Bristol, as well as yesterday!
