Imagine…You are at your last beer…A True story

It’s pouring rain outside.
You are drinking it slowly because you wish rain stop soon in the main time.
But you are at your keyboard and the rain is getting stronger and stronger.
What do you do? You would call the depanneur/delivery but you don’t have enough money on you to pay for it. And they don’t accept credit card.
A real story

I'd have to say: don't drink as a way to pass time on a rainy day. :!:

Do they deliver beer in Canada?

It's like a 7/11 in the states
Sorry. I have been in real estate for 8 y and I still wonder what is the exact terminology for it.

When I Googled it, the only translation that made sense was "convenience store". But you referred to calling them, and last time I checked, the local 7/11 doesn't deliver to my house. :p

Thanks for the translation but what should I do?

Read a book. Or at least do something quiet so you can listen to the rain. I find something mesmerizing about just listening to rain on the rooftop.

Put on your raincoat, open an umbrella and go for a friggin walk.

Purchase beer and plenty of it. Pick up some condoms, thay will come in handy later and buy a pack of smokes.

Well first off I wouldn't drink that shitty beer that you always do. Why drink cheap american beer when you live in Europe and have access to good stuff like Newcastle, Harp, Guiness and Baas.

I, on the other hand, have enough beer to ensure I don't have to go out. Imagine how much I would have if it were raining.

there's 3 becks gold in my fridge. I'll probably never drink them, as I hate beer.
