Alex 24721 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Bar Loco used to La Toscana. One of those Italian restaurants (like erstwhile ‘Italia’ in Low Fell) that was all carafes of Chianti and plastic grapes on the wall. Where the waiters shouted at each other in Italian like everything was a major fucking drama. And where they prided themselves on being a proper ‘ristorante’ and didn’t sell pizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if the Guinness was really good or maybe they were just taking the piss Was it wyki’s builder who told you that? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 30861 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Got asked to work today, expecting it to be driving. Nope- full warehouse stock-take. Since I can’t drive a forklift, didn’t have a scanner, and all the driving was covered, I was sent out to pick up the mid morning bacon butties order, but otherwise was like a spare dick at an orgy. All on double-time So, picked up this at Aldi on the way home along with burger makings for tea tonight. Its not a patch on a proper Belgian Trippel, but at £3:49 a 750ml bottle (6%), it’s perfectly neckable and not too bad at all. ( Obviously, I got more than one- double time, double ale ). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that red washer on the bottle cap? Keep those for MF jr. if he's still playing guitar. They make great makeshift guitar strap locks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 2029 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Shouldn't a triple be 8-9% though? You got ripped off MF, probably should bought yourself four of them to try to get the same effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good job they weren’t 8-9% I was mildly buckled after two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
