How soft they get bred now. Piss weak.

Had a work function yesterday afternoon that went until after midnight... .....young lad has just messaged in, nearly 2 hours after start time, saying he's not coming in.

At my desk at 7:50 with a bacon and egg sandwich.

Was he on the vodka cruisers with his pants rolled up?
Different breed they are.

Surely you go for a burger for lunch and don’t come back

Probably tough it out until 3:30 and not ask questions when I lob at 9:00 tomorrow after "a meeting".

I did tell you that a while back!
Wish I'd done the usual and gone there too.
Queen's head selection is small and they're charging almost $12 for plastic cups of beer.
WTF?
"It's because of the footy" they say.

And yet I can get an Imperial of Guiness in a glass, guess what I'm drinking.
Now if he will just take my advice on how to pour one as he's clueless.

Geez, that would give me the shits. It's at least 6 months away hopefully.

Coz that’s what bar staff like, advice from a customer on how to do their job

When it comes to Guinness, most need to be told especially if its out of the can.
I dont care if they dont like it - not my fault they dont know what they are doing

Nah, out of the tap is my issue.
You have to pour 3/4s of it (or up to a specified marker on the pint glass) like normal and let rest.
For the last 1/4 you have to push the tap inwards instead of bringing it outwards for a normal pour.
My clown last night just poured it all by pulling the tap outward into a flat puffed up state.
It was one of the first thing's I was taught to do when working at the Sussex.

[Pseudo]

Tangentially to the above - I've known certain bar staff to "milk" beer as they pour it, moving the glass up and down under the tap.

Is there some point to this, or are such bar staff as stupid as they look?

Agree on the pour

Interesting that it was the bloke at the Sussex that taught me how to pour the can

They didn't have it on tap when PAOCFC drank there a couple of years ago
Or is that just in the Corner Bar? Do they have it on tap in one of the other bars?

I too have been wondering this for some time.

It was in the front bar which is out the back ironically.
I left when it changed hands about 6 years ago so things could be a lot different.
Another aside was when I worked there I read the book on my favourite band of all time The Angels and their first paid gigs were at the Sussex!
They got moved on to the Modbury when too many glasses got broken.

How long ago was this, wasn’t an older bloke called Bob was it?

Some times you might do it to to help create a head in a beer that's pouring flat.
Other times you might be bored.
All beers pour differently at different pubs though.
I had no problem getting a head on Superdry which was quite fizzy but Pales and Carlton Draught at our pub came out very flat.
Even the mid strength beers weren't too bad but could come out a little flat looking.
Hate to say it but the beer that always came out with a perfect head easy enough was West End Draught!

A couple of years ago - not sure of his name but he was about 40
