My mate used to be a regular in there until Fullers took over, beer went up by about £1 a pint!
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Fred Elliot on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 17:06:46 I heard that has only just been taken over ?

Very True, Those cunts took away my Bitburger , Amstel and Urdinger :x They must have lost about 70% of their business. Dougie took care of his customers.

Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 21:08:45 Quote from: "Fred Elliot" Beers toooooooooooo cheap over there I am jealous Alcohol in general is cheap over here (fags are as well but I don't smoke). I usually buy this Portuguese beer called Sagres (5.1%). You can get a pack of 6 bottles for the equivalent of about £1.20-£1.40. :twisted: Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Fred Elliot on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 21:12:28 I HATE YOU
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 22:03:40 I've been on the look out for a Spanish lager brewed in the Canaries called Dorada.
It's like San Miguel, but better. No English supermarkets seem to stock it though :x Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Miss Angry on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 22:10:18 Quote from: "sam_stfc" I've been on the look out for a Spanish lager brewed in the Canaries called Dorada.

I'll know for sure tomo. Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 22:13:14 Ace, I'll have a look. Cheers.
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 22:22:52 Dorada is ace!!!
It's all i drank in Fuertenventura and Gran Canaria. Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 22:31:13 Ralph, I've found out you can order it directly from the brewery in Tenerife. Minumum order is ten pallettes, 60 crates per pallette.
So, 600 crates split between the two of us. Fancy it? :mrgreen: Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 22:33:49 i'll take 10 off you. the other 590 can be your life's work.
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 22:42:21 How much is that gonna cost Sam? :D
Shipping will cost a fortune. :D Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 22:43:53 container ship, £800ish, depends how much a crate is and how quick you want it. and who has the facility to unload a 40' container at their house.
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 22:46:17 You wouldn't unload the container at your house would you numb nuts :D
You get a haulage company to pick the 10 palettes up at the docks and drive to your house. :D Sam lets do it. How much is 600 crates of Dorada? Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 22:51:19 i'm going to open a bottle of wine.
my fork lifts broken so i can't unload pallets either. Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:06:33 Your just creating problems!!!!
You don't need a forklift! You get a haulage company that has a tail lift on their lorries! Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:10:19 all problems solved now. other than the £7000 bill.
you'd better not go on strike or you won't be able to pay your share :soapy tit wank: anyone got a really big shed? maybe ash has got an empty house we could use as storage. Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:42:20 I have a huge shed at my folk's house.
Has a concrete floor so it's very cold in there :D Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:48:13 ace, when does the shipment arrive?
you're paying yeah? i'll chip in a tenner. Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:49:31 We need to ask Sam for his contribution first.
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:50:59 thats another tenner, only 6800 quid to go. know anyone who's minted and wants to buy us beer?
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:51:50 Ash?
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:52:49 how many tenants do you need for £6800?
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:53:32 £6,800
Thats a months wages for him :D Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:54:32 so he wouldn't miss it then?
does this constitute a legally binding contract or does he have to agree to it? Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:55:44 No this is legally binding.
Gentleman's agreement. Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:56:05 excellent, when does the beer arrive?
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:57:28 Takes 2 weeks to ship it.
First weekend of July. Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:58:34 don't drink it all before i get there. all 24,000 bottles that is.
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:59:16 Me and Sam will have to test a few crates for quality before they unload it off the lorry.
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Wednesday, June 20, 2007, 23:59:42 i think my maths is out - 14,400??
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 00:01:32 600 x 24 = 14,400
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 00:01:57 you've got a calculator too then.
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 00:02:24 Yes on my phone.
I'm not that clever. Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 00:03:23 i am sometimes, but not at the moment. hence 24,000. i'm gonna be gutted if there's only 20 in a case.
or if ash doesn't stump up the £6800. Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Ralphy on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 00:05:16 He will else i'll go to the press about his antics at the De Vere :D
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: axs on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 00:06:10 the things i don't know...

Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 07:57:35 Oh go on Ash, there's a couple of crates in it for you :D
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, June 21, 2007, 10:12:03 We may get Dorado here. I will look next time I am in the Supermarket.
Title: Thankyou Mr Sainsbury Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, July 6, 2007, 20:42:48 Somebody on this thread mentioned about enjoying Bitburger. Well tomorrow I am off on the 50km jolly to Bitberg where they brew said beer. Apparently there is some kind of festival and they have beer fountains, good food, live music and dancing etc. Should be good! :beers:
