Everywhere but New Zealand

[scracha]

I'd give my left bollock to be able to sit with a pint of Tennants lager and watch Eurosport on a Sunday morning. Over 50 countries receive it (most of them as a "freebie" on their basic cable/satellite package) including Asian countries like the Phillipines and yet we're stuck with Sky Sport's pathetic offering (unless you like Rugby, American footie, baseball and Golf). I hope Rupert Murdoch chokes.

Isn't that foolish offering the majority sports instead of relatively minor sports.

Check the attachment. Funnily enough being on KB I'm hankering after motorcycle endurance racing, WSB, BSB, AMA, Japanese superbike, German Superbike, supersports racing, supermotard etc. Not to mention all the rallying and saloon car racing.

[scracha]

At least I can watch old firm games. Didn't know baseball and American football were that popular out here.

[McJim]

Aye, whaur kin ah buy some Tennents 70 Shillin'?

I hear what your saying - Eurosport was a good channel. This is what comes of living in a country where minority sports are the only sorts played.

New Zealand leading the world in Rugby (only 5 countries in the world take it seriously as a sport)
New Zealand are also pretty damn good at Cricket (again only really played in a handful of countries)

Sorry - you were trolling again and I'm just agreeing with you.

If it helps I'll say Tennents lager is shite - geeza pint o' heavy!

[The_Dover]

yer both poofs.

Tennents Super and White Lightning with a dash of blackcurrant.

RED SHITERS!!!

Your forgot Netball. They're not even that good at Rugby, I heard the All Blacks were gonna give up on the ball thing and just stick to doing the pre-match dance.

Moi....trolling?

There's a bar in Tauranga (an English theme pub selling pints of Tennants....bwhahahah) some kiwi bikers dragged me into. Fantastic. I've never found 70 shilling over here (yet). It's probably illegal to sell it or something.

If ah gie ye the money will ye goin buy us a boattle o' bucky nad 20 lambert & butler mister.

fuck that, i'll just go and hold up haddows with a syringe full of blood.

L&B, that's a bit posh. I prefer mayfair.

[SPman]

Aaah - maybe we'll go with the satellite TV connection after all - has Eurosport as one of the channels and is a shit load cheaper the Foxtel.......as well as not being tied into a contract.....

See, even crap countries like Australia get Eurosport. I don't just want motogp. I want them all. I want them repeated 3 or 4 times a week so if I miss em (you know..when they're shown live at 3am on a Monday morning) I can watch em again.

[Lias]

Everyone knows real men drink Boddingtons :-P


You've got veins in your bodies
We've got Boddies in our veins
We'll outdrink anybody
Then we'll go and do it all again.

[The_Dover]

Boddingtons is piss water.

Real men drink Landlord.

[Hitcher]

Tennants. Is that the stuff that Poms prefer warm and flat?

[Big Dave]

Not to mention all the rallying and saloon car racing.

I promise I won't.

Oh yes there is a drink one can find oblivion with.


Mr :shit:

[emaN]

Tribute ale, St Austell...... proper proper good!

[Hitcher]

And finally -- a beer thread!

[Mr Merde]

Always partial to a good pint of "Old Peculiar".

Good night on the bevvies, Vindaloo at the curry house, couple of lagers and a severe case of the screaming shits the next day.

I was young once.

Mr :shit:

[jonbuoy]

Special Brew or a scrumpyjack and ringwood 49er thanks.

The only time I've literally been legless was on some of these super-snake bites. Luvely jubbley me ol' china.

[scracha]

No, it's a Scottish lager. Dunno where kiwi's get this warm and flat beer myth from? Oh yeah, I do...they're copying the Aussies and just trying to compensate for their own $hite beer and $hite pubs.

Golf is classed as a sport??????:scratch:

I thought it was a good walk that has been fu*ked up!






(stupid game)

I got mine from having warm, flat, beer presented to me in London pubs. Perhaps I was transported into some parallel universe? My mythtake.

Well, it worked. Top plan. The redolence of a yokel's crotch was unnecessary overkill, IMHO.

hands up all those who would like to know [but are too scared to contemplate] just wat our Mr Hitcher's nose was doing in proximity to aforementioned yokel's nether regions?????? :shifty:

[Hitcher]

Well beer like that had to taste like something. I could not rest until I had discovered exactly what. I then saw the error of my ways and scuttled home to the welcoming bosom of Speight's.

And, on that subject, I see that there is a Speight's Alehouse about to depart shortly for Blighty. At least that should provide an alternative to those soulless Aussie ales.

[Big Dave]

Meh. I drink bourbon.

Ah, you've made the mistake of thinking that London is in Britain. Geographically you are correct however culturally London bears as much resemblance to the rest of the United Kingdom as the Bedlam Mental Assylum does to a packet of mixed nuts (apologies to Douglas Adams).

I prefer my beer cold. I also haven't had what I deem a decent pint in 8 years so I'm more than a little irate these days.

[jonbuoy]

Some of that Macs stuff isn't too bad if you let it get up to the right temperature :dodge:

[scracha]

Ah...that's London. The correct phrase to say to the barman is "take the heid oaf that fuckin lager" or "can I have a cold glass please".

Londoner's can't fathom drinking whiskey straight. The number of times I had a double served up in a tall glass that was warm (straight out the glass washer thingie) with some twat asking me what I want with it. Still, at least the measures are decent...70ml in a double.
