Yea, I appreciate that, but there are loads of beer fests occuring at other times Some of them will not be in that awkward gap between aspiration and cash.

Re: Friday Open Thread (none / 1)

the change over to a bank based system has resulted in the banks getting hold of your benefit for three days, and so what was a Friday paymeny becomes a monday payment. Not good for the social life.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Then go out with the restaurant staff. In Finland, monday night is infested with waiters with sculptured hair and argumentative chefs who are handy with knives: it's their night off.

Oh no, nights out with chefs always end messily. and try getting a surly waiter to get a pint, they look most disappointed when theres no tip when they get back from the bar
