A Thread About Nothing

Sure

Here in Madrid, a good bartender will rarely be unemployed, even through this horrible crisis.

Yep, people like to drink in public, that's for sure. 

Ten days ago I was still in Galicia. Every day I met my sister-in-law's bf we had about 7-8 "manchados" (a mix of vermouth and white wine) before eating the octopus (with a couple of bottles of Ribeiro). But he would say people who drink alone are boozers!

A nice guy, he says he must be allergic to shellfish (a curse if there's one) because he can't take on more than 2 kg. per session.

Drinking at home is just cheaper, and when alone you can always go on the computer and hang out with people in that way:) But I wouldn't mind being called a "boozer" Getting called an "alcoholic" seems bad to me because it just seems like the name means that you don't like drinking and it's evil but you can't help yourself--like you're possessed by a demon or have a disease. I like drinking too much to even imply I'm doing something against my will;) 

This is one of my Anthems Trysts and Pulp.

@ Trysts  Okay so you get a 100 bucks from a guy who whats your shift. He makes 300 bucks while you were farting around all day. So did you do anything to make it feel worth while at the end of the day?

Sure-- I played tennis, gabbed on the phone, blabbed on the Internet, got high, watched a movie, ate some yummies and then went to bed. It was a pretty nice and cheap day:) What do you do on a surprise day off, hashish?

I don't tell the wife and come home at the regular time.

On a suprise day off, I try not to play too many hours of Game in 5/5.

Yes, it's an "addiction" not unlike acoholism or compulsive gambling, but at most it gives you a sore backside (from sitting too long), and a slight headache from cursing at the screen when you lose on time.

Thankfully, I have annual leave, today.  Time to recover, whew.  

Nice! Btw, I have "Bad to the bone" in my cell phone as the ringtone assigned to my mother-in-law. 

He, he, you may have a point, but I haven't noted any difference. People simply love bars. I once read there are more than in all the rest of EU capitals together. What really pop up like mushrooms in crisis time are the gambling houses.

I never take siestas. When she stops snoring is time to try an approach though. 

Good one Pulp.

@ Pulp  You a few years ago I was in a bar having a brew or two after work and there was a woman bartender, a nice lady, and this clown down the bar had a call on his cell phone. It was the sound of a woman having a really good time in the sack and it took him awhile to answer it.

I thought it was lame and by the look on her face so did the bartender.

I have never heard that ringtone again.
