I think some folk got a bit lost in it but by and large it was mostly just hilarious and a lot of tongue in cheek i’m sure.
Same as it ever was imo…
Fabric’s always been particularly vulnerable to high street infiltration (tho they usually clear off by 2), but the ‘filming people to mock on the socials’ aspect is relatively new.
Viva Berghain…

that might be the case but the security itself is very laddish. I remember one of the bouncers pushing me when i was in the smoking area and i fell face first onto the floor. It didn’t particularly bother me at the time, just gave him an angry grunt and told him to watch out. who pushes people over with a burning cigarette in their hand?
I mean yeah I get it, that fucking Horse thing…

I was DJing at a festival down South about 6 years ago. We had a few people back in our static caravan for some after hours activities including a ‘big name’ from the balearic scene. Someone I kind of looked up to at the time. Once i got tired and called time on the party, he ended up in the caravan next door. They had their window down and while I tried to sleep, I got to listen to them all have a very serious 2 hour conversation about astrology. I was lying in my bed laughing my ass off and never looked at him the same way which is a shame cos he’s a brilliant DJ.

Went for a pint earlier today. Beavertown Neck Oil. It was poured into a Beavertown pint glass. The beer finished about 1 1/2 inches from the top of the glass. I paid £6.90 for it. I honestly thought the barkeep was going to top it up so i waited. But no, It was explained to me that their policy was to leave ‘2 fingers’ from the top to allow for a head and that actually i was lucky so Ssshh.
I drank the pint and mulled things over. 2 fingers on that pint glass was equal to approximately 20%. So £1.39 in monetary terms. Bringing the price down to £5.50.
When i went back to the bar for another pint I brought this up with the manager. She assured me that tge glass was a pint up to the place where it said ‘pint’ on it. About 1 3/4 inches down the glass. I suggested we test her theory with another glass and a pint of water. She disappeared and left me at the bar for about 5 mins. On returning she said that she couldn’t find a pint glass! And was too busy to bother with all this. My suggestion that it amounted to theft under the weights and measures act didn’t go down well and I started to feel like a miserable old fucker who had nothing better to do. But honestly, their policy means that every 5 pints I buy I’d be buying them one. Rip off Britain I tell thee!

Beavertown beers (now 100% Heineken) are awful. Hipster marketing ahoy

Went to the Christmas market here yesterday, it was £7.50 for a pint of Neck Oil. Staggering.

Quick update, I’ve now got a bee in my bonnet (and not a lot else to do) so i conducted a simple experiment with a borrowed Beavertown glass from my local. The results are in…25% less than a full pint!!
3/4 of a pint for £6.90.
It seems that three pubs in Eastbourne owned by the same landlady have an actual policy of serving all pints as 3/4s.
One manager actually defended it on the basis that ‘if customers spill some or drop their pint someone has to pay and we have to do a stock take’ as if serving short measures is a legitimate way of ensuring maximum profit.
Think of this, for every 11 gallon (88 pints) keg of beer they get 22 extra pints to sell again as 3/4 pints.
Daylight robbery.

In the way that people take a reusable cup to the coffee shop we should return to the days of having your own full-pint tankard and bringing it with you to fill up.
