Just got back from the weekly shop and in need of a drink :beer:
Checked out the range of beers at the supermarket and couldn't believe my eyes. Marstons Pedigree are offering the chance to win........................................wait for it .................................................. ...a garden shed!!!!!!!! :confused:

I think we at raine's bar can beat that, lets have a 70's - 80's disco ( fancy dress optional ). We will also have a quiz on the 70's/80's with drinks as prizes.

Feel free to chuck in your questions, first drinks on me .

Hi folks Stuart here, just thought i'd run this past you for your opinions.
Since Raine66 and i cannot be here 24/7 to cater for your needs i thought it best to recruit some more barstaff to help out. I got lots of replys and have narrowed it down to 6 people, all of whom have experience of working behind a bar.
What do you folks think?

Stu-pot Jun 16th 2006 5:07 am

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 
As you can see they are all highly qualified :D :D :D

If you have interviewed them in person and you feel they are fully qualified for the job, then go for it. :D

I am 100% behind you :p
