Gracious me… on Wall of Mouths

I’m very sensitive to caffeine and if I have a coffee at this time of day I won’t sleep all night.

Oh sod it, I’ll have a mocha with an extra espresso thrown in and mixed in a big vat with three cans of Red Bull.

And I will wash it down with razor blades and rattlesnake venom.

Better - did I ever tell you about my self-titled debut cocktail I created? very similar recipe.

Pint glass filled one third with ice. Double measure of Jack Daniels over it can of Red Bull, double espresso and topped up with Newcastle Brown.

Keep topping up with Newcastle Brown as you drink it (in traditional Newcastle Brown drinking fashion) And Bob’s your uncle -the Caffeinebomb.

It hurts. A lot. Especially the following morning.

Oh man, I never told you all about our Angel of Beer who descended from Heaven to be amongst us for a short time on Friday, did I?

I was in a pub in Wolverhampton, with around 6 or 7 mates, when a very smartly-dressed, but clearly worse for wear, dude walks in (NB. this is a rockers pub, with coffin-shaped tables with pentagrams on, and here was a guy in a three piece suit and overcoat - and a black guy at that, not that you don’t get black dudes into rock, but you get what I mean).

As our two small table are close to the bar, he talks to us as he’s getting served. Of course we’re all :rolleyes: at this total stranger butting in.

THEN he asked if any of us wanted a drink.

Of course we all politely, albeit grudgingly, decline.

So he asks again.

No thanks, very kind, very generous, but we can’t take your money off you, sir ,we don’t know you!

Asks again.

And again.

Insisitant now.

Finally one of us snaps (well, it was his birthday) and has a large Southern Comfort and lemonade.

OK, now we’re off the hook, the dude has a “mate” now he has bought a drink for, he can natter to him for a bit and be happy.

No no no!

Works his way around the table working out what all the drinks are ..”Newcastle…Smirnoff Ice…Whats’ that? Lager? Stella? Fosters..? Nah, have a Stella!”

Long story short, he buys all of us a drink.

THEN as we are half way down said drinks, he gets another round in before we can stop him.

THEN with two full drinks on the table (we hadn’t finished the ones we had when he came in!) WE GET A THIRD!!!!

We all just sat there, looking in disbelief at all this free beer!

Then I had to leave with the missus AND THOSE WHO STAYED GOT ANOTHER TWO ROUNDS!

The Giffard Arms, on the same road as Waterstones and Forbidden Planet.

Good jukebox, rock DJ’s of a Saturday afternoon and evening and a great big throne with dragons carved into it.

Pretty much the only rock pub in Wolves. Myspace page is at:

This isn’t quite the same, but i remember going out for quite a boozy night in some 24 hour pub and we were playing pool all night. My mate Boyd got up and said he going to get some change for the table, and came back with a round? We asked him why and he said he got to the bar forgot why he was there and thought it must be for beer. Twenty minutes later he once again went for change and came back with another round:D He did it a third time when he got up to go home, said he saw the exit or the bar and thought..well it must be the bar that i’m here for?? :D:D

I can ask him, it will take him at least 24 hours to get to this country but that will just help to build up a thirst!
