LUCK

This story goes to show just what kind of a world we actually live in.

I was out with buddies one Saturday in 2008, watching the wonderful Lewis Floyd Henry and his one-man-band. We arrived at the pub and I got a round in, three pints of cider and a soft drink and was charged £13.85. I inquired about about the price, £3.35 for a cider and £2.80 for the soft drink (basically a can of ginger beer and soda in a pint glass) WHAT? YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS? I paid my money and fifteen minutes later added it up... HANG ON, THEY'VE CHARGED ME A QUID EXTRA! I thought maybe I'd unknowingly paid for my friend's bag of Salty Dog crisps, but found out he'd paid for them himself, by this time I could not be arsed to go to the bar and demand satisfaction. Our lovely mate Tim Siddal (AKA BOYCOTT COCA-COLA EXPERIENCE) Sat down with his pint of Guinness and had started drinking it when a particularly pretty barmaid came up with another pint of Guinness and proceeded to explain that there had been a mistake and would he like the extra pint for free, upon which I looked at him aghast. Some people just got it lucky, which if you know Tim's music explains a lot.
