Re: Official Hart & Thistle Thread
I think they're trying to sneak it away, given that my last trip was for the Hop Rock Candy Mountain or whatever he called it... I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist but hey. At least someone received a discount.KMcK wrote:I had a tense discussion with the server when it was time to pay my bill.

Re: Official Hart & Thistle Thread
I was more interested in clarity than a discount but got both. In retrospect I realize I may have been a bit rude to her.benwedge wrote:I think they're trying to sneak it away, given that my last trip was for the Hop Rock Candy Mountain or whatever he called it...

Re: Official Hart & Thistle Thread
My Dad has never been to Halifax so I am showing him around. Right now we are just wandering so we don't have a plan, but I'm encouraging the direction of rock bottom. I'll post in the RB thread if we make it there.KMcK wrote:Are you around for a drink this evening?mgc wrote:At H&T with my pops. I guess the glycol jacket is still busted. Shitty.
