In the 80s it was all Martinis, big suits, and 911 Turbos.
Cavey is the 1980s.
He wouldn't be drinking Martinis; too girly.
Yeah, that's why I drink pink champagne (and take the piss out of myself, including here, for so doing).
The whole thing was just a laugh, Bamba, as difficult a concept as doubtless that is for you to grasp. Seriously, you could start an argument in an empty room.

You should fill in a feedback card saying how great her service was. I once posted a customer feedback form saying how great I was and then the area manager came down to give me £15 smiths vouchers.

If you have a contactless debit card, just use that, but remember to touch in and out whenever you leave the station even if theres not a barrier.
Great stuff. Thanks for a reply that wasn't facetious or cunty.

It might not have been you I'm thinking of, I don't actually know... It was at the cottage, though. I think Grim even had his own little fridge
I've met a lot of elitist beer snobs, and they are usually a bore, especially when some people just want to drink what they like and have s good time.

I refuse to be drawn tbh. If people want to get actually offended, for real, over some pretty lame beer gags, as mitigated with a good dollop of self deprecation as well, then frankly I hope they never dare leave their homes, let alone go to a pub. For heavens sake, get some perspective IMO, otherwise people will be perpetually outraged? Crazy.

Your right to free speech means the government shouldn't be able to imprison you for things you say (unless it is hate speech), not that you are immune to criticism of said speech. Because - and this will blow your mind - criticism of free speech is also free speech.
Saying a joke isn't funny because it relies on the trope that anything feminine is somehow less worthy or desirable isn't infringing your freedom of speech.

Miki asked not to use 'girly' as an insult, (because that can be offensive to anyone: women who see that girl-like is being made to seem weak, or negative in some way, or anyone of any gender who is having their strength or masculinity dampened by being called 'girly', but Miki asked Cavey to stop, Cavey apologised, and it was all over in a few words.
That small exchange was great, and not just bashing the topic around for the sake of it or to prove anything.
Anyway, I'm drinking Diet Coke, out of a can. Have at it, numpties!

Just FYI, "having a laugh" isn't ever going to be a defence against saying crappy things. Indeed it's a tactic often used by proper genuine misogynists who're outraged at getting called on their shit so trotting it out puts you in some pretty bad company. Anyway, all I did was voice my opinion about something you said; I can't make it into an 'argument' on my own. Don't let that get in your way of avoiding any responsibility though.

Yes, but then it was defended by being 'just a joke', which is what I objected to, as you well know.

So is it OK for Myp to do it to try and undermine someone's drink choice because, in his defence, he's having a laugh or winding someone up? The rules of engagement here are so confusing.

If he's saying something that denigrates specifically and only the person he's talking to then it's entirely between the two of them whether anyone wants to get offended. If he's making a joke that takes aim at an entire gender then I certainly wouldn't advise it.

That's what I wondered. If you thought taking the piss or mocking people/undermining their choices was OK in some circumstances but not others, due to sexism, or other isms. I guess we could say it is elitism of sorts, but I don't think we've got around to that
I think you all drink rubbish things anyway. Especially you, Myp. I think you choose your beer as an accesory to your facial hair. Mypster
Next time I see you in going to get some limited edition Brew Dog rubbish and make a shandy with it. And add black current cordial. And I'm going to chill it so far beyond the point of taste it will be practically ice. Then I'm going to drink it in your FACE.I'm going to do this for your own good, because I love you.

Didn't you just tell Cavey he'd totally missed the point for suggesting that there are worse things than being called girly? I mean, calling something "girly" and refusing to hire a black person because they were black are pretty separate ballparks, too, but that doesn't just mean you should be able to do the other.
Anyway, fuck you, Stella is well nice and you only don't drink it because you're a manly girl.

Nowt wrong with a pint of Banks as far as I'm concerned, as long as the pub gets good volume/turnover (but that applies to any draught beer of course).
Pint of Eastgate for me as I said earlier - and that's just a common-or-garden best bitter with no frills at all, but a very good one (IMO) and undoubtedly well kept in the pub I frequent.
