Did think before, the poster was some kind of genius, but all that should have been quoted was just from Wickapedia etc.
I have my reasons for mentioning this now and not before, doubt if I will publish all.

Re: A Pound A Pint.
Ref Post #22. I sincerely hope you are not referring to me when you state "the poster was some kind of genius"
because if you are lets get one thing staright mister, I am getting fed up to the back teeth at some of the crap you have written on here. It was not so long ago that you spent an entire evening insulting me constantly, in the end I had to ask Vernon to delete all of your posts which he did. For the record I was drinking in Quids Inn before Wickpedia was even heard of. Get your facts straight.

You really have some kind of a problem that I am not aware of mister ? If I ever generalised will add the name, yours was never mentioned. Guess you feel guilty about something, never came from me. K.

Re: A Pound A Pint.
You have no need to know of any problem that I may have. Perhaps you would like to explain exactly what you mean in your post. Cheap beer. Try a shandy.

At least you acknowledge that you do have one.
Your personal attacks will only ever result in a similar reply.
I would shake and make up, but doubt your willing to do the same.
Whatever your problem was last time, seems to remain.
I moved on minutes later, what ever the hang up, it is yours.
RE: Perhaps you would like to explain exactly what you mean in your post. Cheap beer. Beer at low cost ?
Perhaps you will explain what your problems is ?
Not that I am bothered by trite.

Re: A Pound A Pint.
There were a group of Ale houses over the NE cant remember their name right now. Cheapest beer around, was between 1 and 2 pounds, may have been close to a pound during happy hour. This was last June and July.Also did meals. Seemed very popular. JS

Re: A Pound A Pint.
John: Am off to kip, last time you dished it out or tried to, took it as banter, you were out bantered and lost. No malice on my side, something deep rooted on yours. Hate to see grown men cry. Will end this here, lest you persist.
All the best. K.
