BrewDog: yet another hip company using 'rebel' language to sell its stuff

[freshapple]

Which is why I invite them to pop into the DJ booth for a quick, sneaky shot, if they fancy one.

Which is very nice of you but it doesn’t pay the rent & might get them into trouble.

Me and a mate once had a competition to see who could leg it to the other pub round the corner, drink half a pint and then get back to work without getting caught the most times in one shift. He won 5 - 4.

When I used to work in one of my local pubs, I was allowed to drink halves but not pints, because that's apparently more "professional" (this was the late 90s/early 00s in a village though).

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. I want bar staff to get paid well and to be able to work in a non toxic, non-sexist, non-racist, non-ableist, non-bullying workplace that doesn't leave them exhausted and/or in tears.

And if me giving them a sneaky shot paid for out of my own money makes their shift go just a tiny bit better, then I'm happy enough with that.

I’m absolutely not having a go at you!

I worked bars for years & drinks were always gratefully received but I had lots of friends who worked tables in restaurants who could double their wages at least through tips.

I get bored of lager pretty quickly. It's good that there are some other options in Japan now.

I found some really good bitter made by a craft brewery in Nagano. Other than that enjoyed the malt beers such as Yebisu and ended up home-brewing quite a bit.

The great Keith Fleet of the Guardian letters page has something to say about this. I would boycott but never succumbed to their marketing offensive in the first place.

A real right wing beano!

I wonder if James Watt had gone along with his best pal Nigel Farage to this right wing beano?

Emir Kir, mayor of Brussels district Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, said: "In Etterbeek, in Brussels City and in Saint-Josse, the far-right is not welcome.

When I was a student working in a now closed Birds Eye another student used to come in, clock on, then go across the road to Findus where he'd clock in and do his shift before clocking out. Then back to Birds Eye to clock out. It took about 5 weeks before he was discovered. It didn't matter then because he was going back to college anyway.

So Brewdog's greenwashing 'Lost Forest' has been a catastrophic failure with over half of the trees now dead, and public money wasted on these cunts.

Forestry Scotland handed over cash to pay for fences and also to cover the cost of the first planting phase. However, staff discovered that up to 56 percent of the Scots pine trees had died. This is estimated to be at least 92,436 trees.

They also noticed that 95 percent of the native broadleaved oaks had not survived - thought to be at least 42,712 trees.

Far more important things going on in the world/other threads, to give this one much attention at the moment, so you can wind yourselves up for the time being.

Pro right-wing, employee trashing, sexist, racist, ableist, bullying forest killers is a tough thing to be celebrating, even for the fanboys.

They'll still find an angle, though.

(I guess. Have the usual culprits on ignore which is a boost for the old sanity levels )

Not for now.

You'd have to be a truly revolting individual to try to kick things off again on this thread whilst current events are what they have been for the last couple of weeks.

Time and place ... etc

I've taken full advantage of the ignore function and it's really worked.

Gives him more time to hang out with Farage and his right wing mates. Turns out that the fucking clown is also a fan of Liz Truss.

Some urban posters must be feeling really stupid indeed for their unwavering support for this vile man and his toxic workplace company.
