Step inside. Pull up a beer. Have a chair on me.
I stopped drinking before work a week ago. I have a day off tomorrow so I’m havin a drink (or twelve) tonight.
How many pubs are there, on the Isle of Man? What is the pub-to-human ratio?
roughly 75 thousand humans. roughly ‘many’ pubs (according to most websites)
What is the ratio 75,000:many?
(there are plenty of pubs…In fact one of the pubs here featured on sky one’s britain’s worst pubs programme)
I’m not supposed to really, but the doctor said one wouldn’t hurt me every once in awhile, so don’t mind if I do.
You know, I have a DVD of The Who playing at the Isle of Man.
or would that be on
I’m game. pulls up a pint
So , Lobsang, ever been to Andreas?
OOgy! Someone bought me a black & tan! Just a minnit.
…OK that’s better. Nice big fat Guinness . . . : Spraay : . . . EW! It’s warm! What’s up with that? Oh well. Hey, they serve deergoat here?
Another lager and lime for me, bar keep. Those wings were on the spicy side.
Hi Guys! I’ll have a pint of Newcastle or a Boddingtons if you’re pulling that tonight.
I’ll have to pass on the drink tonight but Lobsang, it would be my pleasure to buy you a pint. 
Cheers, an may you be in heaven a week afore the Devil knows your dead.
I’m in.
::sidles up to the bar::
Uhhh…you do serve Americanized pisswater beer here, right? Ok…good. Miller Lite, please.
Pass a Boddington’s down this end of the bar when you have a moment … ta!
You don’t like black & tans? :eek:
No. I do not. There’s a reason Bass ale is called … bass. I think it’s the main ingredient. Bleah.
Drinking before work? I try to keep that to the minimum too. But I’ve nothing against drinking during office hours, so make mine a rough cider, and rack 'em up.
Well, I happen to like Bass, but that’s not the only way to make a black & tan: try using Harp.
Sorry – Watney’s Red Barrel, here, when you can. Cheers.
I’ll have a pint of Woodpecker or Strongbow, unless there’s a local cider you care to recommend, thanks.
It’s pissing down so a pub is by far the best place to be. I’m with photopat. A decent cider of the dry variety. Or some of the paintstripper they sell in the Vosges: that’ll put hairs on your chest!
Make that two … failing that, a Guinness. I desperately need a drink today!
chucks the car keys into a cement block, seals it up and pulls over a chair
It’s been one of those weeks, guys…
'Nother cider over here, please.
…whaddaya mean it’s only Monday?
…
Ah, hell…a round on me, folks!
