I don't think it'll be a problem I suspect Stokief is a woman of the world That's as maybe, but I'm not sure that anything in life could prepare me for a big Chopper with Pennant hanging off it!! Well at least it would take your mind off the footy

Pint of Hobgoblin IPA please? I've put it on the table by the dart board which has been converted into the 'Pick-yer-team' board. You get a free go but quick as you can 'cause we've got to make sure that it's leaked with all the others and if nothing else, give's poor old Nath a few ideas for tomorrow! Don't drop your complimentary nuts if you can help it!

It's probably best if I decant all drinks into plastic bottles today, don't want any injuries. Listening to this is unpleasant enough!

I'll be in for pre-match lunch on Saturday. Mrs Q will be along too. She'd like a prawn cocktail and a Babycham with a cherry in it please. I'll have a pint of Double Diamond and a Findus crispy pancake.
As for my Chopper with the Pennant hanging off it, I did get a stern word from one of her majesty's boys in blue. I'd had to give Jermaine a lift because he had no transport. Seems he can't remember where he left his Porsche again. However, PC Bacon merely suggested that we find a safer method of transport and that next time a piggy back might be in order.

Darn, just realised it's international break this weekend. ok, put my previous order on hold until the following Saturday.
I'll bob in this Saturday anyway before a spot of retail therapy. Hmmm, international break so it'll have to be international grub & booze. Mrs Q will have a pizza and a glass of Liebfraumilch. I'll have a Guinness and a plate of chips with mayonnaise. And some Alka-Seltzers for both of us please (so I can drop them into Chuffed's pint of coke before doing a runner).
The 70's rule.

There I was, got me bar up and running again after all these years in the doldrums I get meself a win and a lifeline to keep it open and along comes bloody international footy. I mean, who cares about it really? Now, I've got to find a way to keep my meat n' tater pies fresh and the dog enthusiastic. I've got to carry on training sessions with the hamster whilst the rest of the menagerie disappear.Well, I tell you, I'm coming out fighting and from now on will be doing it all my way! In the past there were people who didn't care if I made a decent cocktail or not but that's before. I'm the Manager here and It's a wonderful bar, a bar I'm proud to run and one that will make you all proud I intend to get this bar back into the Premiership of drinking establishments as quickly as possible.Phew!

Dunna werrit, Stokief. Every knock back is an opportunity. Chuck in a freebie or two to get the punters in - say a free slice of pork pie with every half pint of Mild & creme de menthe cocktail ... and they won't be leaving to go to the match so you could have them in there supping all night !!! A chance to coin it in, I say.
I'll be in right as rain. In fact, check the scruffy armchair near the fire. I might still be in it fast asleep & merely dreaming that I left and am actually posting this. That absinthe you served me has done funny things to my head.

Absinthe? What absinthe? You don't mean the Dettol in that old Pernod bottle do you? I was saving that for a special occasion!

Well, apart from re-opening the bar, I've started listening to Nige and radio stoke commentary again via the website whom I'd 'abandoned' . My other 'alf pointed out that this could also've jinxed them and that I must pay up with immediate effect. Well, I have one win under the belt and must admit, I didn't listen to Huddersield as I was watching (screaming, shouting, cursing) from behind my hands until I could stand it no more and watched 'Great british bake-off' instead here's hoping that between us all we've found a way to change the luck! To think, Nath actually believes it's what he's doing!

Very nice it was though, are you getting any more in? It'll be in with the next delivery of Deep Heat Heat cream rub which I find makes an excellant alternative to chilli mayonnaise on a nice baguette! I've missed football Stoke- stylee this week. Not having that trepadatious feeling associated with merely hearing the line-up. Not having to worry that dinner conversations will be interspersed with expletives regarding the result. I'm going to be able to sit down with a nice big glass of red and watch 'Strictly' without feeling the need to 'pop over' to the Oatcake to see if 'He's gone yet' Bet Nath's enjoying his Saturday night too. Let's hope he's taken the International break to drive Tom Ince off on a nice holiday somewhere far away like Georgia and asked James Mclean to stay with him after the match for company! Eight months should do it!

Stayed up late last night to watch the EFL on that there Quest telly. Parked myself up with some dandelion and burdock with ice and slice confident that we couldn't lose. Thankfully we didn't but there were a few tasty outfits on display. I'll have to find something with a bit more kick when the nerves re convene next time out for our lot.

If you start serving hummus & playing modern jazz, I'm taking my custom elsewhere. I like the sound of the deap heat though. I might try some on the ham sarnies next time I'm in.
I heartily concur with everything else you say. Although not having any red wine in, I made do with turpentine & Mr Sheen whilst watching Strictly. Must be from the same alcohol family as gin, it made me weep.

Always Good to have a new cocktail recipe I feel that the demise of the original establishment was due to the bar going a little 'Prem. wine bar' All fur coat and no pantaloons, prawn cocktail buns and crinkle crisps. Buying in canapes at extortionate prices from dodgy business men from North London. Not doing due diligence where my foreign imports were concerned.Well, back to basics. The most exotic will be some Welsh rarebit
