The Wetherspoon Ale Festival is back!!!!
Dom absolutely loves the ale festival, he gets all excited reading about the ales in the little books they produce.
We went to the pub today and Dom ordered a gourmet burger. He had a pint of coconut ale with it and a pint of ale that had hawk in the title after.
He hasn't said much since so I'm guessing they did the trick.
That's the problem with lunch time drinking - you can go through all the stages of a good night out in just over an hour.
You can be sober, happy, chatty, angry, sleepy and have a hangover between 1 and 2 if you do it right.
Dom's somewhere between the sleepy/hangover stage at the moment - he had his angry moment in the pub when for some reason the way we pronounce things was brought up again.
It always starts off with snoooker vs snook-ah before moving on.
Today's included poor being pronounced poo-er or pour, ear being pronounced year or ee-ar and so on.
During lunch Dom spilled melted cheese on himself three times.
I was surprised Dom opted for a gourmet burger today as we had already talked about calorie counting which I know freaks him out at times.
It started because Dom showed us a new KFC burger where they've replaced the bread around the chicken with chicken.
The burger
He then said how shocked he was that Mars bars have 500 calories. Cath said that she wasn't surprised because she loves Snickers but won't eat them because they are even higher.
Dom tried to relate to this.
"I'm not a fan of Snickers either," he said.
"I don't like peanuts.
"They squeak in your mouth."
For some reason this caused an awkward silence.
Yesterday Dave found a survey a radio station was doing about the best ever intros.
Dom listed about 30 without being asked.
"Won't get fooled again" by The Who was one of them.
This led Dom to tell a story about our friend Chris who tried impersonating the Townsend slide while dancing to the song on a juke box one night.
He gave it his all but the floor wasn't very slippery. He ran flat out but the second his knees hit the floor he came to a grinding halt and fell on his face.
He went from about 30mph to 0mph in around 0.1 seconds.
"We could smell jeans all night," Dom recalled.
How the slide should look
