Send messageIt true Temps, I feel your bar work pains. I agree that actually it's quite an enjoyable job when it's not the rammo weekend shifts. I used to love, okay maybe love is the wrong word, practicing wanky clover leafs and stuff in the guiness, pulling pints and making cocktails, also I never met a dickhead member of bar staff, the occasional dickhead manager who had never actually worked behind the bar, hence the dickbaggery, but otherwise all sound.
Fuck I even found some kind of bizarre zen like satisfaction from brassoing the drip trays and pumps and polishing the glasses."Let me tell you, when yung Rouj had his Senna and Mansell Scalextric, Frank was the goddamn Professor X of F1." -
Good honest work innit. If it was reliable or paid well enough and was in a decent place i’d be happy enough doing it more. We’re getting a refurb in a few weeks that i’m actually looking forward to. Can’t make cocktails for shit because we don’t do that, but i’d learn if I had to. Staff are ace as you say, no-one judges, everyone comes from different backgrounds. We’ve got a great manager who has done this for decades, he’s always behind the bar or collecting glasses on busy nights.
Only bad thing is all the boomer customers we get who look down their noses at us, I would fight all of them. -

My dad used to work in a bar where the management had a good attitude to cocktails; it’s not a cocktail lounge, so the staff aren’t expected to memorise them, but if you can tell them how it’s made and the ingredients are here, they’ll oblige. -
That sounds good, I don’t even mind the idea of having a little cheat sheet or book to flick through. We don’t do cocktails that aren’t pre-mixes though, and because we’re a chain we can’t do any cocktails if they aren’t on the till.

Send messageYeah that was how our pub was with cocktails, it was a pretty straight forward pub pub, but we'd make what people asked for, nothing crazy but it was a nice deviation making a mojito or layering up a B52 or whatever."Let me tell you, when yung Rouj had his Senna and Mansell Scalextric, Frank was the goddamn Professor X of F1." -
Jeez - my bar work consisted of pints and spirits with mixers. Wine would have raised an eyebrow.
That was '90-'91 though.Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -
Tom Green. I accidentally saw a bit of one of his films. Is there anyone as painfully unfunny? -
Isn't he Canadian?"Plus he wore shorts like a total cunt" - Bob

I watch plenty. Tom Green is an unfunny cunt. -
Was it an old film? He's one of those flavour of the month guys who was briefly considered funny a good while ago before being rightfully fucked off in a bin.Come with g if you want to live... -
Just awful.nick_md wrote:Yes, probably. My question still makes sense.
Not if it's about Tom Green it doesn't."Plus he wore shorts like a total cunt" - Bob -

Old enough I guess. I saw a bit where he was shaking a horse's cock while shouting something. Maybe that was what counted as humour in the early 21st century. -

"Is there anyone as painfully unfunny"
Not "is there anyone the same nationality as painfully unfunny". -
So why mention American stand up? I get your point but it was an odd thing to say."Plus he wore shorts like a total cunt" - Bob

SpaceGazelle wrote:So why mention American stand up? I get your point but it was an odd thing to say.
Perhaps it’s just because it’s the largest population of English-speakers, but I do feel like I see more unfunny American stand-ups than from anywhere else. Given that Canada is a North American country, and there are more parallels with US culture than other English-speaking countries, it’s not remotely odd to consider Canadian stand-ups with their US counterparts. -
I just meant that I think American standup is an example of something painfully unfunny (bar a few exceptions), I really don't get the confusion in this. I didn't realise I had to drill into Canadian culture in any reply.

‘iOS software update will be auto installed tonight’
Ahhh fuck off already! This cunting caption hovers at the top of my deck phone screen and only disappears when I press the main menu button. And then it just comes back again a few minutes later. Why? -
I think it’s to let you know that, tonight, it’s going to auto-install an update for the iOS software.

Other annoying anti-feature. I used to be able to pause, play, rewind or change the volume of podcasts on my phone without unlocking it. But that seems to have been patched away recently for some unknown reason

Man, pitching is the worst. You find a neat game, an interesting studio, a content creator that does things differently, a neat angle on something old, a cutting edge idea on something new, pitch them everywhere and get knocked back, and then you wake up to something like "Risk of Rain 2 does scale well" on Eurogamer.

Still works for me. I use RSS radio over the podcasts app though, that might make a difference? -
