Christmas Is Rubbish

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The Gods of Christmas they mock me! 365 days a year I visit that off-licence on average. On 364 of those days the bottom doesn't fall out of my carrier bag, drenching the once-a-year shoppers in festive foamy beer. Sake!

Hope you didn't lose too much!
Have a good one!

Yeah, cos I'd really ENJOY having to pay for that twice over at the offie...

Cheers.

No worries, the offie owner took pity on me and gave me a hefty discount on my replacement order after I'd finished mopping up the floor and my tears...

That was very decent to give a discount

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

For sure. Tho arguably not as decent as me offering to mop the floor while he served a shopful of beer-drenched customers

So he should after giving you an inferior carrier bag that split. There's nothing worse than wasting drink to a Scot. I'm surprised you didn't hit the floor before the bottle.

He didn't. I brought my own inferior carrier bag

Tightwad

Racialist!

i'd have licked the floor dry,would have saved me drinking for months....may have got a few dry roasted peanuts thrown in for good measure too.

Actually that is a very good call. I guess I am legally the owner of the contents of that mop and associated bucket...

Always ask for a double bag job

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

So as not to completely waste the day, and In the interests of science, may as well report on the results of my inadvertent testing of the breaking strength of beer bottles dropped from an approximate height of 0.75 metres:

Duvel, 330ml, 8.5% Alc./Vol. - Zero breakage. Contents intact, who a trifle lively when finally opened

Brothers Festival Pear Cider, 500ml, ALC 7% VOL - Single clean breakage at base of bottle neck

Beck's, 66cl, alc. 5% vol - Impressive smashage over wide area. Tiny shards of glass distributed over several metres

From which we can conclude with a certain degree of, er, certainty, that the stronger the beer, the stronger the bottle.

You have not been charged for this information. I, on the other hand...

So you should have gone with the Makers Mark. You'd have dented his floor then.

Serves you right for being green.
