Brewdog aggressively purchase real estate and shove in their own lovely bars. My partner and I often go on long walks around London just to explore - we'll come across a bar we used to like drinking in only to find its now a brewdog. I hate their smarmy ad campaigns too, 'advert on a bus' haha how clever of you. I guess the beers a step up from carlsberg or whatever but there's a million other UK beers that are better. Beavertown can go gently caress themselves too. I'll have a quarter pounder please

Nuclear Spoon posted:what's the deal with beavertown, i assumed there would be something lovely about them eventually but i never bothered to go digging I guess nothing too horrible, just still marketing themselves as a quirky craft brewery that only cares about quality. Heineken bought an undisclosed portion of their company so they could build a huge new building, they often contract brewed in Belgium when they couldn't keep up with demand, stopped supplying the distributors that made them big in the first place so they could prioritise selling to the supermarket chains. Like I don't mind if you wanna go big and make money but don't pretend you're some little guy slugging it out with the German consortiums any more in the name of good beer. Plus neck oil tastes like old piss I have Opinions On Beer

I sometimes go for alcfree stuff if I'm hammered but my mates are still going and I still want to drink beer. Low abv stuff is good too, table/small beers that hang around 2.5-3.5% is good if you're starting early on a sunny day

OwlFancier posted:in order to deter you from being able to immigrate. This was my experience with UKBA. Took me ages to figure out which form I was supposed to be using. Form is full of questions they don't actually need to ask, hugely complicated and takes 6 months to process. I was nearly a bloody immigration lawyer by the end of it. People hear I'm from new zealand and assume I got in easy, I always let them know nothing could be farther from the truth, and comparatively I probably did have an easier experience than many others. By the way if anyone needs a few pointers or whatever I'd be happy to help. Maybe not here tho, it'd be a bit of a derail, an A/T thread perhaps?

Oh man this reminds me of a story my mum was telling me: I've been in the UK for idk, 7-8 years. She bumped into an old school friend of mine (I grew up in a village, everyone knows each other) who's now running for mayor. He asked mum how I was getting on: 'dingos fine, been living in London for a long time now' 'Oh really? How's he handling all the immigrants there?' 'He is an immigrant'

Adam Buxton had Curtis on his podcast, its a really good listen. Its not really that funny like when he interviews actors/comedians but still one of my favourites. The grand narrative is mentioned and Curtis answers that of course he's trying to sell a narrative, all journalism is. He also had a lot of discussion about the rise of the individual and how this hurts the left: since everyone is making their 'own story', this leaves little room for the kind of anonymous sacrifice and struggle involved in bringing about change on a large scale. I'd recommend. Link if you want it: http://adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/ep44-adam-curtis el dingo fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Sep 30, 2019 |
