There’s some of conspiracy here! My favourite pub:

1) Raised prices a month ago, $3.25/beer to $4.50/beer
2) Last night, pulled all of the big (34 ounce) mugs, now I have a micro mug which can’t be much bigger than pint
3) Fired my mate yesterday [who has been a server there for 10 years] over something very pidly
4) Are pulling all of their internet thin clients within the month
5) Minneapolis is banning smoking in all pubs in March!!

What’s next? They’ll want to come over and kick my bloody dog?!

Might be time to move back to Toronto!!

Sounds like time to root out another favourite pub.  Damn shame though.

'Tis a shame, guess I had it pretty good there for a while. Still, how did this all come about in 2 month span of time?!

Well that's just WRONG (apart from the smoking ban!  Loved Dublin, I could go out & not come home stinking ).  You definitely need a new pub!

To add a little insult to injury, they have a policy that terminated employees can't enter the premises for 45 days, so my mate can't even go in for a beer (although I can't be sure why he'd want to!!).

Sorry to hear that Joe, it's a real bum rush I tell ya. I'll have to start looking tomorrow morning I think...

I always hated rules like that. When I was waitressing, you couldn't sit at the bar even if you weren't working and were out of uniform. You had to sit at a table.. which meant you were now paying your salary to the other servers... friggin annoying!

Probably worried about disgruntled employees going postal or creating a scene at the bar or something Suey. Want a cooling off period.

Kate mate, see the following: link

Free internet surfing. They're pretty locked up but you can check your e-mail, post to bored, etc...

I recommend the Tesco offers - 8 cans of Blackthorn for £5.00 always goes down well!


Olde English is often a cheap but nice variety too.

24 cans of Olafenbrau for £12 in tescos as well isnt to be sniffed at, or if you are too skint for that a barrack buster is pretty good value

The barrack buster is good, but tends to go flat before I finish it.


Never heard of the other one though!!

That's mad!  Remind me the point of the south?  Don't know cider prices, Guinness you can rarely get under £2 now (though still ocassionaly get a nice suprise), but I've never seen it over £3, even in the expensive places.  Move north!

Hehe, no anti-freeze. Years ago when i worked in the pub there was this carlsberg advert only it was for a beer called olafenbrau but at the end the sign fell of the beer tap and it was carlsberg.

So to sum up Olafenbrau = Carlsberg

The point of the south - like it -


The main point of it is to house the posh people and run the country I think....... and keep the welsh in check.... sorry Hengle.....
