I fancy a pint or two of that moonraker  -  7.5% abv .... mmmmm :angel
Unfortunately they didn't have that one available, but thb its a bit strong, too much alcohol kills the real taste of the beer and you couldn't drink more than one or two.

What is "vindehop" beer ? Thats a new one for me :hmmmm
Vindehop was a new one on me but it tastes great. The manager of the pub that organised the trip went round canvassing everyone to get some idea of what was/ wasn't liked. Theing she will be ordering a few kegs of that judging by peoples response. :chuckle

Relatively light today, think they wanted us out early due to getting the frames ready for the dreaded revision on Monday. Out at 8.45 back at 12 ish to an office full of managers & planners, bet that was a shock to their fecking system! There again I would stay for a min of £17ph today for an acting lineo! Lovely sunny,warm day here, the harrington nearly came off at one point.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Snow? Rain? Sunshine today in the smoke! :shock:
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
