Redbaron Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Says ALHOLK: P.S. Stay away from the "Carlsberg Elephant" beer. I tastes like grain alcohol diluted with piss. probably because it IS grain alcohol diluted with piss. And stale piss at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 At the risk of going slightly off-topic, I have to ask how the Irish get on at the bar : if you've ever stood around waiting for a barperson to draw a handle of Guinness or one of the treacle-like stouts that they love so dearly, you'll know what I mean. Dont get me wrong - this is great beer - but it takes long enough to get to the bar and get served as it is (at least here in Oz) ...... Having said that, I cant wait to get back to the Big Smoke next week and start dowing pints at Irish Murphys - see you there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli13 Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 yeah dealing with basic stuff in life like alcohol seems to be very hard on the isles. funny that I still remember my very first binge when I was only 14 at some pub in the north of england around coalville! got so drunk in bitter that I wasn't even alolowed onwards to the disco with the rest of our sports club tour anyways back in DK the cheap supermarked elephant beers ruined the rest of my teenage years & now I'm trying hard to reach FJ status not really sure what I wanted to state here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiery Jack Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Says LaoHuLi: Britons are the worst binge drinkers in Europe... [color:"blue"]To deal with the problem, the government plans to coax guzzlers to linger over their alcoholic beverages by extending drinking hours. [/color] What do you figure FJ will it work ? Hmmn, interesting question, sir. Well, I stayed in Edinburgh, Scotland for a few years where it was, and still is possible (if not obligatory judging by most Scots I met there ) to get a drink in a bar 24 hours a day (this fact had perhaps some small influence on my decision to venture forth and reside there awhile ). I don't mean that all the pubs were open all day, but if you played your cards right you could do a 24 hour round-the-clock pub crawl, beginning in a notorious spit-and-sawdust "fight" alehouse in Leith that threw open its doors at precisely 5AM (and was, by 5.05AM, customarily full of red-jowled inebriated postmen having a quick few beer-and-vodka "bracers" before starting their daily rounds ? hence so much misdirected mail in Edinburgh no doubt ) then you could merrily bar-hop around the city all day and finally end up being turfed out of a night club at about 5AM, a full hard day's heavy boozing later. So, to answer your question: extended licensing hours? Never did me any harm, pal. jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 FJ, Gidday. On behalf of all Aussies, I'd like to extend an invitation to yourself and your fellow Brits to come downunder (er, you know what I mean !) for the Rugby World Cup. We've got women here who will give you a run for your money. Then we'll see who can handle their grog ! Sanuk ? Trust me, drinking with them is infinitely safer than engaging in other forms of social intercourse, beer goggles or no ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiery Jack Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I've just been re-reading this misconceived diatribe against British inebriates :: after a quiet midweek night out in Stoke, UK with my British mate Smokey :: ? 20 pints of lager each in an afternoon drinking den, a couple of hefty lines of speed apiece in the back of a taxi to an off license, then a wee "puff of the magic glass pipe" round the back of a friendly local kebab house while Smokey had a shite inside a phone box and we drank the litre of cooking vodka we'd nicked from the "offie". And then we hit a night club for the 6-8PM tequila-promotion happy hour and ended up, via a couple of "trendy" wine-bar type pubs then a "private" men's club :hubba:, drinking absinthe in a crackhouse in Burnely at 5AM playing cards and getting sucked off for free by a drunk Scottish hooker. (We had to take it a bit easy 'cos Smokey's a dentist and was pulling some poor sod's wisdom teeth at 8 the next morning, and I was on 9AM jury duty at the Stoke District Court. ) With which in mind, I think someone's making a hell of a blunder somewhere here ::. Shouldn't this misguided thread be titled: Britons are the best binge drinkers in Europe...? jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
