The choice nowadays is high priced designer slops pretending to come from celebrated european brewries on the one hand or watered down piss served in plastic jugs in smelly and dangerous bars on the other hand. I've switched to Chardonnay mate but ask them to fill up a handle which they usually do to stop me complaining.THE CURMUDGEONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01747720629076703739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386000359463629107.post-48313581201136667362008-05-31T09:46:00.000+12:002008-05-31T09:46:00.000+12:00I dislike a wine glass with a little line on it. ...I dislike a wine glass with a little line on it. This creates a few impressions in my mind about the manager:<BR/>1. He's a tight bastard<BR/>2. He's not giving me any more than the damn line, and don't bloody ask<BR/>3. He thinks his staff are morons<BR/><BR/>On the flip side:<BR/><BR/>Cathy and I once went to a bar in Mana where she ordered a reasonable wine by the glass and the waiter filled it up so high he had to tip toe across the room with it. We laughed (appreciatively) when he arrived at the table, and he said - with a grin - "Gotta get your money's worth, ay?"<BR/><BR/>Finally, yesterday at school the deputy principal came into my class and told off one of my students. He said "we've lost mana". Quick as a flash the boy said: "It's next to Paremata." Even the deputy principal had to smile.JYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01782467791968901038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386000359463629107.post-67007382427230886952008-05-31T07:42:00.000+12:002008-05-31T07:42:00.000+12:00I can't wait for Grumpy Old Man to read this!

Look, wine guy, sometimes you get a better amount of wine than other times, but who really gives a shit? Look, after the second glass it all bloody tastes the same and your mind has switched back to thinking about women's body parts. Sod the bloody wine... its work is done!Richard (of RBB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07245921253761836268noreply@blogger.com
