Drunk Darth Vader's Jedi Assault
You couldn't make it up!
Quote:
|
A man posing as Darth Vader attacked a Star Wars fan, who had founded a Jedi Church, a court has heard.
|
Quote:
The court heard he has a "chronic alcohol problem" and had drunk the best part of a 10 litre box of wine.
<snip>
Hughes could not remember the incident and only realised what had happened when he read about it in local newspapers, the court told.
|
I'm not surprised...

Earlier, when Hughes failed to arrive on time, District Judge Andrew Shaw issued an arrest warrant, adding: "I hope the force will soon be with him."

All he's got to say in court is. "I was over come by The Dark Side. I had no choice but to embrace it's power."  |

Re: Drunk Darth Vader's Jedi Assault
Blimey nigh on 20 pints of wine, I would have thought he'd have been dead, if not the only force he'd be feeling would be the deathstar explosion of a hangover

Bag In Box Draught Wines
Bag in Box Draught Wine has developed significantly over recent years and is now by far the most efficient and cost effective method of selling "wine by the glass".
Unlike serving "wine by the glass" from a bottle, Bag in Box wine creates a vacuum as it is dispensed thus avoiding air contamination and and as a result, no problems with oxidation, ensuring the last glass of wine is served as fresh as the first.
An added advantage of choosing draught wine is being able to serve it constantly at the correct temperature due to it passing through a thermostatically controlled cooler. Your customer will be assured a glass of perfectly chilled wine and you will be able to utilise the space created in the chiller cabinet by not having to store all those bottles.
Over recent years the range of wines available on Draught has increased considerably with many of the world most recognised varieties and blends being made available.
1 x 10 ltr Bag in Box wine will provide 57 x 175ml glasses of wine - the equivalent to opening 14 x 75cl bottles.

Re: Drunk Darth Vader's Jedi Assault
I'm gobsmacked...and the government nag us all about binge drinking but allow wine to be purchased in such vast quantities by one individual..crazy.

You could well be on dodgy ground there cimt, what with the dopey new "religious hate bill"
I mean insulting a Jedi knight, and blaspheming about Lord Vader.

He probably got it from a wholesaler for the pub/catering industry.
