    Don't worry I can see at least Two things wrong with it One it only uses Plastic cups and two it only dispenses Flat Lager. It will never work or catch on Its a bit like the self serve Beer Pump a few years back and the Hot Dog Maker.

    I'm no apologist for Guinness, but I'd love to see what this daft gizmo would make of it.
    Course, I were waiting at the MCG fer a drink, I may'nt find it quite so daft
    Pubs are a hobby, real ale is a passion. Oh, and like me dogs, fear no evil..........

    Sorry but I think that is a brilliant idea, although not sure about the hygiene implications

    Could be brilliant for some of the gigs I have been to though, I mean you are being served rubbish at them anyway, may as well be served it quickly.

    Hmmm-it does smack of the "Whitbread Umbrella" methinks. Incidentally, I must be the only man in England never to have drunk DoomBar. It was in a pub last Saturday, but more interesting/appealing fare prevailed.

    An important victory in the EU court for the Portsmouth landlady who is battling with the FA/Sky over showing live football via foreign providers. Could have a massive impact on football, as well as the costs of showing it for pubs, which is currently extortionate if going through Sky etc.
