Imagine there are two pubs on the same street. They both have comfy decor, delicious beer, and lovely friendly staff. At pub B, the beer comes fast, in big jugs. At pub S, the service is slow, and even though the jugs are big, when they finally arrive they are only about half full.
Which pub would you choose? Pub B? I thought so. Well, so do Arlo and Huey. If pub B is shut, then they will go to pub S, but during the day they don’t really settle in for a good hard drinking session. (Night time is different - any pub will do when you’re half asleep.) Pub S is struggling a bit, but is trying out some new marketing strategies and buying in some more beer to try and lure the customers back. It seems to be working - Arlo in particular is a fan. Even though it’s been a rough few months for the baybeast liquor industry, we’re confident that the sales figures will continue to improve. We’re hoping to keep our customers for a couple of years yet!
i got terribly excited there for a minute as i actually thought you’d chanced upon some new
and cool drinking spots!! Have you given the ol chinese herbs a shot??? see you tonight btw.

I’m sorry. Milk production was the constant bane of my existence. If Teo had another source, I’m sure he would have availed of it too. Hang in there and maybe try some stout (ironic from your post)?
