Slightly OT, have you ever noticed small pieces of grit at the bottom of your whisky? That comes from not having separate buckets for ice that beer cans or bottles are kept in, and for drinking ice. Small pieces of dirt that were on the can or bottle come off in the ice bucket and end up in your mixer drink. Cheers! I'll have a beer thanks.

They served me a broken beer glass at a Riverside restaurant and I asked for another one. 2 beers later the same broken glass was given to me again and it turned out that they had just washed it and kept using it. So I took it to the nearest pile of garbare and made sure they wouldn't use it again. They don't let me go there anymore. The guard just says "no no ok you go!" :plus1:

there is no win in this situation, u complained they ignore, u take action they kick u out, best is that u keep quiet, some big shot come and drinks and cut their lips on the glass sue the hell of out them and closes them down or some dude with a gun comes, get into heated argument, shoots warning shots into the air, more cops come, big woohaa.

moral of the story, let them learn their lesson the hard way, half arsed attitudes needs full throttle arse kicking

You sure it's not ash from the ashtrays?
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

I don't think the OP touches drugs. The only crack that would interest him is inside a Khmer chick's panties.

Cracked glasses irk me. I can't help 'stress testing' the crack several times, although only one ever failed the test, and they replaced it. It was at a girlie bar and they saw me do it and replaced it, gladly.
