All things Jack Grealish

Champagne, especially the expensive stuff, is the most overrated booze ever invented.
Gets you wankered by lunchtime, leaves you with a heavy head for the rest of the day and makes your piss smell of sugar puffs.
I think this is broadly correct. That said, I've had some immense days/nights where I’ve drank nothing but champagne. A few weddings and garden parties. Can’t be doing with the cheap shite though. Not worth the heartburn.

I’d say Pol Roger was my favourite.

But I almost never feel the urge to drink the stuff unless it’s free!

There was a nightclub in dublin called The Pod,
dunno if it still exists,
owned at the time by the then prime minister (or premier or whatever they call themself over there).

We were there and it happened to be my birthday and a certain mister oakes owed me a fair bit so he had a word and wangled us a free bar all night on him.

The owner's son was in some boy band, westlife or boydrone or summat.
The 5 of us were sat at the band's favourite table in the vvip (very very)area overlooking the place, genuinely necking the most expensive stuff.

I got called into the office on the monday morning and was shown the bar bill.
hahaha he wasn't too impressed.

Saw him around Christmas, in Nottingham. Early doors. I’d got there early, so I could do some work before my professional commitment (can’t even remember what it was) and was at the only place that was open, the Pret at the back of the council house.

And he walked past. Had to double take, but it was definitely him. He looked pretty broken. I felt very sorry for him.

By the time I’d made myself certain it was definitely him, he’d gone. I suppose I could have ran down the road, but I felt it was best left tbh.

So I went back to my work.

I remember doing a shit load of Dom Perignon in one night in town at some Turkish restaurant. And no, I wasn’t paying either!

It was owned by a John Reynolds .
His uncle was Albert Reynolds, the taoiseach.
Albert was a right ducker and diver, owned a large pet food factory but was also a music promoter and involved in several dance halls.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was involved in The Pod I some way alright.

Clearly you have drunk copious amounts then - based on your in depth analysis : D
I'll stick to good old bitter - being a blue it seems fitting
 
No!

because he is still on loan to Everton and they still have to pay 75% of his wages and he is out for the season!

We also have a lot of players who are better than him!
 
Were you out celebrating the takeover?! :-)
Not quite! It was a few months later. December time - had a customer over from Norway with his wife, plus a couple of suppliers who knew him met up with us too. It was his wife’s birthday so we did the classy thing - went to Belle Vue dogs and sponsored a race in her name ;)

Done the dogs a couple of times. Sunderland and Poole. Had a great time on both occasions.

That's a real shame because, boy, did he know how to to put on a party.
Some great sessions after shelley's at his house with sasha,
eventually turning into him organising incredibly outlandish enormous events globally.

That 1st cd sold over 100k in the first week iirc and every other club copied the mixtape cd idea,
but he was so shit with money.
We'd do, say, The Cross in london, The Tunnel in glasgow and Lakota in bristol, friday saturday sunday,
come the following friday there was no float for that weekend.

Wonderful memories though.
I know he and i didn't end up on perfect terms but what an experience it all was.

I understand why you didn't go after him.
It's difficult and can happen to any of us at any time.

That sounds about right, joe.

There was definitely, what shall we call it, an undercurrent of best not to say the wrong thing to the wrong person.

I'm happier on the stouts and red wine, john,
but would never disagree with a decent bitter :)
