Not sure if my subject title is correct. Fill a pint glass full of beer. Then very gently position a thimble with brandy or whiskey in it, on the surface of beer. It must not sink immediately. My memories are a bit vague now, because it was part of my initiation process as a new employee in the original stone trade. There were two brothers and they had no intention of allowing me any slack. The induction festivities were continued as in a pub crawl.
Yes, i was totally maggoted as in legless. Suffice it to say a thorough drunken mess. It was 1969 so henceforth the beginning and first year of my apprenticeship. My spoken english was slurred to the extreme. Also the effort at walking was totally unco-ordinated. Can remember they were in hysterics of laughter. It was all in fun and no harm was done to anyone. After the first pub, we somehow managed to visit five other pubs via taxi.
I think the idea of thimble container is for this, whiskey or brandy to slowly disperse into pint of beer. That depth charge certainly performed it's desired effect. I was sixteen and outside the hotel, it was an incredibly hot glary day. Upon venturing into environment my reaction was :yahoo: lets get the party in progress. The inebriation level was " Ticking over just nicely"
Have not had any stout for years but am partial to it. Possibly had a schooner of stout, then two schooners of beer and then that pint with the depth charge. During our pub crawl mission my drinking became adventurous. My weakness is spirit drinks. Especially anything that is mixed. In due time a good old chunder was induced. So that's what a multi-coloured pizza looks like. :beer: :topic: Sorry to go off topic. It was an educational experience. There is school where we think life is difficult and take things for granted. I am not criticising ,because even my parents have noticed changes in attitude. The young people these days are so serious. Then there is the work scene. Can remember that entering the work force at sixteen was quite a culture shock.
My foreman and the brothers advised me, that i had a lot to learn regarding the world. They were correct. Their knowledge and skill was much appreciated. I used to be very naive and reserved.
