'ullo?

Empty... Well 'keep, set me up with a virtual keg. Make it two. I have a feeling it's gonna be one of those days...

"Free drinks for everyone!" (Looks around to ensure place is empty still). The janitor saunters up to the bar to get his free keg. Rats! I should have been more specific.

Drinking straight from a keg sure is different... Opps. Floor sure is jumpy.

Cheers Antony I'll have a small one with you...
You should be more observant as an artist,was the janitor hiding in the broom cupboard?... I bet he was.

Oh and I hear you found those loose floor boards, you dont notice them quite so much, after a few kegs..Ha Ha
Quote This Message

The floor boards sure do notice me. Jumping up and catching me on the head like that... I sorta see the walls are getting a bit curved and carved too. Looks like I'm in one of Edvard's Screams.

The Janitor was leaning on his mop (just mopping around) so I took him for a fixture. (Hiding in plane sight.) Sure did come to life at the mention of free rounds... Well, now I got his number: "Jan. 555-1234" What good it'll do, I'll never note.

Almost quitting time so I should start drying out now. Gotta save a few quid for petrol.

Ohhhhh dame it!!!!! I need a hair of the dog really heavy night last nite and not VIRTUAL.......

I'll try and catch you later.

Wake up Joseph not aloud to sleep in this bar..
Quote This Message

That's right no sleeping in the bar! Lots of cots in the janitors supply room though. Just grab one and set it up in office, or maybe in the washroom if you dare. The roof is a good place to mellow out too, there's even a 'scope up there to check out the stars and the girls gym across the way... not that anyone would do that sort of thing.

Back in my home town, New Orleans, I knew a few bars where they did allow you to sleep at the bar. It was funny, you could go in there at 6 in the morning and watch them come to, while you have your coffee.
Quote This Message

That must have been a treat to watch...

On one hand it's better for them to pass out there then pass out while driving home...
Quote This Message

Actually, it worked out kind of handy for the construction crew bosses. The bartender would start pumping 'em full of caffeine, they'd hit the bathroom and do their business, the boss would pull up in front, and they'd be ready to go. Come quittin' time the boss would drop them off there. Kind of like a babysitter 5 and a half days a week. Some of those guys had bar tabs in the thousands. This was back in the 80s when thousands was a lot of money.

Sleeping at the bar. Last call for......Last call for lights out. Everyone hit your cots! And no sleepwalking to the Jagermeister!

A lot of the off-shore workers had nowhere to stay, when they got a few days off(most of them were in the Gulf for 4-6 week stretches). So they'd go to a bar, play cards, and drink till they passed out. Ah the good ol days.

Barkeep,

Another keg for everyone including the janitor... Had a good weekend of avoiding housework, so I feel a little ale is called for. To keep the scurvy away I usually install a slice of lime into the beer, but that is just preference.

Nothing like a lime pint, and some peanuts (with a towel at hand too!) to get you ready for what the week brings.
Quote This Message

your right joseph ......
it is dead round here
Quote This Message

hello mates - have had my head up my sordid reality for the past few and no time to belly up. but noew it's time to get back to a cresent of lime in my mexican toilet warter (corona) - not that i'm worried about scurvey, anthony, but it does cut the taste of the yeast.

it seems that every time my first ex-wife comes out of the woodwork looking for "more", this time because the recession(that doesn't really exsist) hurts her more than it does me, she cleans my clock in court. well not today. today she got "less" and she can't come back again. score one for artman and cousellor bob!

i started getting my NOAA storm reports this week, joseph. they say we're in for a beast of a season (as if the elections weren't pablum enough)so wax your matches and stock up.

the only thing else i've got is a new blog: http://keywesttheblog.blogsp ot.com
(sort of started as a spin-off of another project i was on) outside of my own work, i don't pretend to know it all so if anyone's got comments or suggestions, i'm open to them.
cheers all - a

Been there, done that. Not too worried about storms, myself. They are good for breaking the monotony.

I think attitudes towards cooking in the UK have improved greatly over the past 10 years. People are more interested and aware of the health problems surrounding take outs. Saying that my girlfriend went away for two weeks to see the family and sadly all I ate were take outs. My excuse was a large amount of work which came all at once. I tend to get tunnel vision when working. I won't be doing that again. It's been salads all the way all this week. The detox is slowly working I think.

Another problem with the UK is the drinking culture. How many times have I been out and the night has led me to eating establishment I wouldn't go in at gun point sober.
