Yup - next door pub for me too

It is only 8 paces in total from my PC to the bar

It is further for me to go to get a beer from the fridge in our kitchen but cheaper ( ) & for that I have a dedicated fridge

Little Miss WRX

I am jealous Puff, it is about 20 paces for me

Shark

Puff thats awsome - is your PC next to the front door which is next to the pub ?

Too right it does

Thought it'd be taking the **** to stick my mini-fridge under the desk in my office

My "office" / "den" is at the pub end of the house & it has a door to the garden, which has a door to the road that leads to the pub carpark that is opposite the sidedoor to the pub that is rarely locked Everything is just too close

In fact I can (& have) go to the pub without my wife realising I'm not on the PC anymore

boomer

Just a thought for those with their beer-fridge next to the PC - do you get any problems with mains spikes caused by the compressor switching in and out? I might move mine a little closer if it doesn't cause bluescreens

Mini-bar fridges don't have compressors

boomer

Puff,

mine does - it has a glass-fronted door with "Stella Artios" on it. I guess that your's is like the ones in hotel rooms - what model? I think that Electrolux do 'em?

Electrolux R122F

Its an electronic heat exchanger thingy. No moving parts & no noise. Not economical in a standard kitchen fridge, but this thing is about 20 inches high, 14 wide/deep & takes approximately 24 500ml cans of Fosters

Its not a current model (8yrs old?) & I got it from an office when doing a clearance - so free too

My friends share a flat, and its know as the "South side social club" - they have a beer fridge (always full woth stella), wine rack (full of vodka and a bottle of wine for the ladies), loads of spirits (1 worked for a distillers) dart board, pool table, ps1,a pc and the best a disco to go with the beer.

Don't have one myself, but my folks have got one in their cellar.

A few years ago, they had a major pipe burst, and so after emptying the cellar of 25 years of crap to get rid of the water, my Dad decided to do something useful with it.He decided to build his own bar.
It's got working pumps,optics, juke box, pinball, and an old upright video game unit (can't remember the name, but along the lines of Defender).

They've had some cracking parties in there, and it was featured on a 'Changing Rooms' type programme a few years ago.(I think it was calles 'Better Homes'. or something like).

Have a big beer fridge in the garage which also contains some fishing bait, so NO food goes in there

Dedicated Beer Fridge in the Futility Room thanks!

TurboLE

Got a full bar set up at home. Converted the celler last year, music, tv, fridge, free standing 70's style lit bar in brass/mahogany (groovy) full range of spirits, wine, beer pump. Hic Hic

Had a friend wjo lived next door to a pub. Their wireless LAN worked in the pub so they could surf with a beer!

"Futility Room"

LOL

We've got a dedicated beer fridge in the garage, although must get up to Asda to see if they still have the Stella ones.

sebastian

I would never have a bar at home, far too Wilmslow snooker professional.

A wine cellar and a serious fridge is all that is required. If you want a bar there are plenty in town and they are full of girls to chat up too.

jbryant

Nic one boomer - same as that!

Have a dedicated glass-fronted Stella fridge one foot away from the keyboard. Did have a second fridge freezer in the (joined to my study) garage, but I found that getting up and walking the 5 yards got a bit much
Now considering the catheter options

Joolz
PS. All this beerfridge talk has made me 'stretch out that arm'!

boomer

Joolz,

i am sure that the glass front can't be ideal, as mine sits in the sun in the evening! As ChrisB said, i think that mine came from Asda (sister bought it as a present )

I fancy one like Puff's though (as well ).

Talking about "beer" - anyone remember the Simpson's episode when Homer got one of those "pods" fron the film "The Fly" so that he could reach into the fridge from the front room sofa - cool!!!

Not fair - My nearest pub's a 15 minute walk away, and that's a hole... <sigh>
