STOP WORRYING WE HAVE A VODKA PARTNER https://x.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1854479188121751644

I wonder how much additional revenue that brings in?  Very little would be my guess, maybe we'll be getting preferential rates on multiple cases of this unheard of Vodka

When I was at uni, the students union sold Odessa vodka which I've never seen before or since.  50p a shot though, so you couldn't complain - standard drink very quickly became 4 shots of Odessa, a can of Irn-Bru, and a pint glass for the princely sum of £2.60.  Tasted rough as fuck.  Still, it made a soundtrack comprising mostly of Kylie's greatest hits and random 80s TV theme tunes perfectly tolerable, so it wasn't all bad.

I think I was knocking around Edinburgh at the same time (or perhaps just before) your time at uni algy. We used to take advantage of the 50p shots and £1 cocktails at the Subway on Cowgate on a Wednesday. A terrible place, without which there would be significantly fewer notches on my bedpost!

Subway was quite the place. We’d go wandering down the Cowgate most Thursday nights and almost inevitably end up going there at some point, mostly because it was excessively cheap - the most expensive pint (Stella) on a Friday/Saturday night was £1.80, though it was 2 for 1 midnight to lure the punters in early.

The owners took over the honeycomb and for one brief summer in 2006 (?) it was amazing - you still got the honeycomb’s music policy (house/techno/funk) and clientele, but free entry and Subway bar prices. I believe it’s descended in to a lowest common denominator place these days though.

Subway nostalgia? Fuck me, it'll be The Hive next!

It was Blastaways for a quid in the guild at Brum Uni. White Lightning cider and Castaway in a pint pot. Rank, but did the job.

The Guild was shite when I was there, so we used to go to the Gun Barrels, which no longer exists.

Gun Barrels was one of the first pubs i went to. Used to go down the hill from school, coats hiding blazers and put on our deepest voices.

'Down the hill'? You're not a KE lad, surely?

I was. Left after O Levels, though, did my A levels at a sixth form college. I hated that school.

I think I'm a decade older than you, Monty. We didn't have dating apps. We had drunk people who were out at 2am on a Thursday morning. Much less targeted but it was hella effective.

Monty, you’re not going to believe this but when the Honeycomb was taken over by the Subway management they changed the name to …

I’ll let you fill in the blank there.

It's responses like this that are behind my surprise at you being an Old Edwardian 😉

Such filth, I despair. Can we please get back on-topic, this thread is for discussing Chris Heck and Villa's business operations.

Haven’t seen him in a while… where’s he gone?

Taking a break. Back in the new year apparently.

This is an appropriate response to anything Heck related!

If he is taking a break I do hope that he is okay, and that he does not have a health issue.
