Triumph and Failure
November 5th, 2005 at 15:51
As is fast becoming regular, I went to my “local” with my friends last night. For the sake of backstory my friends are: JD, Gina, Heggs, Charlie and her (new?) boyfriend Will.
As usual, we decided to have a few games of my favourite sport, Pool.Unlike usual, I owned everyone. Even Will, who sort of sneered at me in a “I bet you’re rubbish” sort of way. I was on fire. Figuratively, I mean.
This was the high point of the evening. Last week, I was musing over why “pub” Coke tastes better than “normal” Coke- and this isn’t a subject I take lightly. As you may well know, I’m a big fan of Cola drinks, and I consider myself something of an expert. I was somewhat horrifed to discover that the so-called “Coke” The Greyhound was selling was in fact Pepsi! Does this mean that all along a superior soft drink has been quite literally right under my nose? Was this “blind” taste test essentially a rehash of the Pepsi Challenge? It’s this sort of thing that keeps me awake at night. That, and helicopters.
I used to pride myself on being able to identify colas of the world. Will I ever live this down?
