[Danae]

tequila and chocolate mudcake?

OM NOM NOM

But like...savoury pie. Like mince and rum.

[Phurrball]

Who needs pie?

A good stout deals with the meal AND the alcohol.

Mmmmm Oatmeal Stout NOMNOMNOM

[ital916]

Bring a knife and fork to eat the head...tougher than eating steak dont ya know.

Guinness IS stout! I like more stouts than just Guinness, so I named a whole genre of beer rather than a specific well-known example.

And ya call yerself a student

Quick! Straight to BEER101, Shads lecture theatre, evenings 6pm onwards. Readin is the Bier column in Craccum (actually not bad beer reviews) !!!

(Fees are buying botique beers for old fogies like me and cradling yourself while they wave their walking sticks and talk endlessly about "In my day...")

I'll have my stouts one after another please, starting with Guinness [Probably all that's available in Shads sadly, better make it a doz]

And no, I don't do corporal punishment at this school, even if you pay extra...I let RM take charge of all homoerotic fantasies...

On my way to Shads once again this arvo only to remember they wont bloody let me in with a legal temporary driver license!

That's three times they've lost any money of mine.

That's pretty shit. It's an officially issued licence. As long as you can give them something with a photo and name they should let you in (ie AU ID).

I'd be interested in their official policy regarding this, as there'd be quite a few students going through the GDLS and caught by this.

(Hell I remember people being Id'd with the old paper licences in the late 90's - just ask the person their birthday, whether they're a donor etc It worked fine for years)

Anyway, Jenny Shitley assured us when she usshered in the new licences that they were NOT a national ID card.

(Definately showing my age here...)

Edit: Chocolate goes well with stout, even better with a Belgian cherry beer, like Emerson's JP (Good luck finding THAT one. If you do, tell me immediately, and I'll pay a finder's fee...)

Yep! In NZ there is no such thing as a national ID card! But I guess ya gotta have something to prove you're age to get in places.

But yeah it's just stupid... If they're requiring hard copy ID driver's licenses because they're worried about being busted for underages then that's plain dumb cause the cops would be absolutely fine with my paper license.

I think it's stupid that they can't even rely on intuition to allow people in... After rejecting my paper license I showed them my uni photo ID issued as of 2006. Still don't let me in...

So pretty much this place wont let me in even though they KNOW I'm over 18.

On the other hand... I'm gonna be piiiissssseeeedd off if my license hasn't arrived by Sat morn at the LATEST... Really do not want to have to take my bloody passport into the city that night.

there is a sign up at the door stating that they only accept photo NZ drivers licence and 18+ cards.

i've been caught out before by this during o-week when i got my full car licence.

you'd think a uni bar would accept uni ID, but they might not have legal backing for that i suppose....

It's shit alright. If you present fake ID, then it's YOUR PROBLEM when the police catch up with you...They Id'd you. They fulfilled their obligation. End of story. I don't see the problem.

Shall we visit them for the chiller and I'll harass the management...

We have a similar policy at work. I let people make remote charges without their licence after satisfactory enquiries = they can answer questions about the account. (I also look at what they're getting - nailgun = NO, roll of tape = yes.)

Common sense is a virtue sadly lacking.

No bitching, bring your passport tomorrow if that license still hasnt arrived
