Wainy316 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Well I've been round to my mates new house and had 2 pints and 2 cans and now I'm on my way home to get a pizza and a nice cup of tea. Looks like my new found sensible drinking thing will survive for Another week Beer goes far better with pizza than a cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holteendhero Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 So, I've taken some initial steps to starting my own business, it'll be a specialty beer retail store in a high foot traffic tourist area in a gentrifying town. High end American craft beers and quality European imports. Bi-weekly in store beer tastings, demos by local brewers, etc. Bit of a roll of the dice, but nothing ventured, as they say. I'll be sure to hang the Villa scarf up somewhere in there : ) The next big thing with beer is to match it with food in the same way types of wine are recommend with certain dishes. There is a lot of matching beers to chocolate so maybe incorporate this I know of a chef that is working on opening a restarauant that only serves beer and matches what type with you order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's become a greta place to both drink and buy wine. If you can get both of those things going on maqroll, you'll be on the path to success!

Unbelievable, and hard to pick up outside of Deutschland... http://www.zirndorfer.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I cannot find the opener thing for it. And i've had too much to drink to consider to drive to the shops. This should be fun., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should probably do it over a sink. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B94villa Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Don't do what my aunt did once while babysitting me, namely freezing the wine, smashing the neck off and then spend the next hour waiting for it to defrost and sieve the broken glass out, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted March 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Had a stroke of luck on Saturday regarding our housing situation. A couple were posting leaflets through every house on our road saying that they wanted to downsize and buy a 2 bed purely on our road. I phoned back by chance and found out they want to buy when we want to sell (New Year 2016). Got an estate agent coming on Thursday to value the house and said that they can come to view it after it's been valued. How to I play this? Should I tell them the value before or after coming? Any general advice? This would be perfect if it was all done with no hassle as I'd save a lot of money on fees and I'd be able to move out the day my mortgage period expires.

DO NOT TELL THEM THE VALUE. Tell them what you want to sell the house for. Say - value plus 10-15%. Let them argue the toss. If they want your road and your road alone you are in a really strong position. Just make sure the house is clean and tidy and looking as good as it can.
