nightscape94 966 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I used to work at Best Buy, and Black Friday was like the day everyone never wanted to come. Then I started working at a bank, and quickly learned that there's a Black Friday every month on the 1st I haven't stepped inside my own bank since I opened my account 5 years ago or however long it was. I don't understand it.I recall January 2nd of this year being a pretty bad since it was the day after a holiday, a payday (Thursday), and folks checking on their SSI and Pension. It was like the perfect storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brown 91 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Drinking some Carlsberg for the first time. Still better than Heineken.

Sweeping Strings 2,698 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Eh, Carlsberg has passed into the realm of 'Well, OK ... if there's NOTHING else' beers for me. Fine as a 'training' beer when you start drinking, but not much appeal when you're older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the peachiness in its flavour isn't to everyone's taste ...It was totally bizarre to me at the time, though that was quite a while ago (probably close to a decade) and I hadn't much experience of styles of beer out of the common macrobrewed way. Perhaps I'd find it more agreeable nowadays. I do still find fruit beer to be rather a dubious species, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glóin the Dark 1,367 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Why? Not sure. Maybe just a residual prejudice from my unpleasant experience with Golden Glory, and the time I gave in to someone's insistence that I try a sip of their god-awful Früli strawberry beer.
