“What a pack of cunts”, said Dirty Dave. “My work has insisted that everybody take a 10% pay cut because of this poxy recession”.
“That’s harsh”, I said.
“Yeah. It is harsh. So thanks to a 10% pay cut and this 1% income levy I know have less money to spend but I still have to buy all the same stuff. How does that work?”
“I’ll tell you what”, said Ron, “as a gesture of goodwill I’ll lower the price of a pint for you by 10%”.
“You will?”, said Dirty Dave.
“I certainly will”, said Ron.
“Well, this calls for a celebration. Bring me a pint of your finest Guinness so, Ron!”
“No problem, that’ll be €8.90″.
“€8.90?! But you said you were going to lower the price by 10%”.
“So I did. Apologies, Dave. That’ll be €8.50″.
“That’s better!”
A 10% cut would be 8.01.
Yeah, but €8.01 would be like, stupid.
You’ll have to tell me where this place is Twenty,for when im up in Dublin.. €8.50 is a bargain..
I’m going to do everything ten percent less than last year.
Vintner math 101.
Very similar to local Centra math which has a 50% ‘special’ price on the dodgy cava they stock, reducing it to the price they’ve been selling it at for the last year.
Are you guys serious about the price of Guinness? How can it be that much in Dublin yet only $5 over here?
It’s a much bigger pint.
Not true. Most Irish or Brit pubs here sell it and other imports in 20 ounce glasses.
The gubbermint and publicans are goughing cunts basically.
About 4 yo yos is more typical 10 pd
10 Park Drive, yer I know, I was just kidding there. It’s about €4.50 which is still too much.
I shall be downing a few tonight whatever.
Just back from guzzlin a few fine pints with Redleeroy in the leeson lounge and 4.30 a pint was an agreeable option to a fiver across the canal. It seems location is all important when it comes to Wallet Destruction on a sunday morning.
ahh, the Auld Leeson Lounge, many is the afternoon I lost in that place…
Twenty what is all this about the herr-ild? Was Monkey photoshopping again, or is it real??
Miss me “boggies?”
Ah, PE.
-Back for a few more slaps, are ye?
Hi,
I think you missed the following point:
- you (the society, not necessarily you personally) are f..ed not because you have to pay €8+ for beer but that so many of you waste their entire lives drinking beer!
Yes, I am. I generally love the Yanks; however, it is fucking boring over here.
