Tyrion Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 About every 1 in 3 glasses of beer have the bartender's crap on them.
Mike Windu Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 That's pretty disturbing if you're saying the literal meaning of crap.... I don't wanna go to a pub now.
IG-64 Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Drinking is stupid, but smoking, smoking is really stupid..

There are idiots in all walks of life, and drinking is no exception. But this thread wasn't started to celebrate them, it was started to say thanks to Mr Publington Housemansworth, inventor of the pub. The first person to find a picture of him wins a half of mild. I can't even drive anyway B. I actually tried to find a picture of him untill I realised... [align=center]Public House[/align] wow, I feel dumb

Yes, the literal meaning of crap. (well, to be truthful, it's about drinks served in vacation areas..but I imagine it's around the same amount in pubs, if not worse)
El Sitherino Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Originally posted by IG-64 Drinking is stupid, but smoking, smoking is really stupid.. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. *raises glass for another round of cheering to the pub man*
BawBag™ Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Originally posted by IG-64 Drinking is stupid.. Pffff. What Insane said. Because I'm a rude wee bastard. Aye, about time we had an alcohol appreciation thread! Obi - Sure, there are fools out there, but I really can't imagine any of the swampies being fools. Pad - Challenge accepted. Your buying though Don't know what else to say..... feck it! CHEERS!
Clemme w/Stick Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Originally posted by Pad And why Germany? I´ve been there last year and had quite a lot of beer and I must say, it aint that great. Surely you haven't been to Denmark. We have the best beer you'll ever get your hands on. -Clemme
BCanr2d2 Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Originally posted by Mike Windu Aren't you missing one Gonk? Foster's-Australian for beer. That stupid beer came up in my head when I noticed where you were from. No Australian actually drinks Fosters, or self respecting one anways. Something more classy like Boags is much better for the stomach..... Oh, and if drinking is stupid, then why does a glass of red a day help reduce the incidence of heart attacks???
toms Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 i don't think any aussies drink XXXX either... There is a weird thing going on where each country's internationally famous beer is actually the stuff no-one would be seen dead drinking in that country. They obviously just export the rubbish and convince everyone it is their national drink. Pubs rule, although i also have a soft spot for bars on a summer evening (when in town and without access to a pub with beer garden). I think that usually pubs are more of a winter/after work venue. My vote for best beer country goes to china, Tsing Tao beer rules. I've got a soft spot for Budvar as well. I used to like real ale, but it is an aquired taste, and it's unpredictability and general lack of availability meant i gave up and switched to fake ales. microbreweries = overhyped, overpriced rubbish What i really hate is having one or two beers (especially at lunch before going back to work), you get the hangover and the headache and the lack of concentration anyway, so you might as well just go for it and drink loads! :D
BawBag™ Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 I reccomend a well chilled bottle of Corona with a slice of lime.
BongoBob Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Now, I'm not of the legal drinking age, but don't ever, EVER, place a vodka of any type near me. I don't like beer, or pretty much any other type of alchohol, but vodka and tequilla(sp?) I can drink like it's nobodies buisiness. Not saying I drink, ut whenever someone offers me a sip of those two, I gladly accept and saver the moment. Alchoholic bastards
The_One Posted May 18, 2004 Author Posted May 18, 2004 Hey, this is a Pub appreciation thread - don't bring any of that spirits rubbish in here. As far as I'm concerned, Pubs are about beer and ale (well, maybe cider). And toms, what sensible country is going to export their best beer? Especially here in the UK, where we're so worried about European domination, we ain't giving any of it away And despite what anyone says, the UK is home to the Pub - you just ain't gonna find a Pub anywhere as good as a decent old British one
Master_Keralys Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Well, this is an interesting thread. I'm from America. We don't have pubs. And I'm underage, so I have no experience with any of this. But it certainly makes for interesting reading! *chuckles* In reality, the UK invented the pub, so of course it's home to it. I think the only country that exports all its best alcoholic beverages is the US - and that's because ours really aren't all that unique (though my dad has a fondness for some Coloradan local ones that are typically difficult to find anywhere else in the country... so, really, over here, it's the states that keep their own secret beers and malts and ales, not countries - the county itself is just too darn big). Anyways.... *wanders off to annoy the living daylights out of Siv for no apparent reason.*
IG-64 Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Originally posted by BCanr2d2 Oh, and if drinking is stupid, then why does a glass of red a day help reduce the incidence of heart attacks??? Suure, and a million beers a day will help too

And yet, you go to Newcastle and everyone's drinking Newcastle Brown!! EXCELLENT! In fact I may have to revert to my old Av/Sig in honour of the Brown... EDIT: done.

We don't have pubs. yes we do, we get them from Immigrants from england and ireland and scottland. STOP SPREADING YOUR NON-ALCOHOLIC LIES! I'm kinda mean when I'm sober... always have been that way though
BawBag™ Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Signs of a good boozer (pub): A roaring fireplace A dog that doesn't seem to belong to anyone Pints = less than £2 A pool table A big decorative mirror Barman has a tea-towel over his shoulder Those really long taps .... aye. that suits me just fine
Pad Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Originally posted by IG-64 Suure, and a million beers a day will help too That aint proven yet, but that fact about drinking a glass of wine a day IS.
