World class

[BaggyTrousers]

Two further things:

- Stroke City, allegedly declared the greatest Halloween venue on the planet
- Giant's Causeway - (the ould one) worth seeing, just not worth travelling to see.

[Tender]

I've considered buying a dog, to blame for the emissions.
A recent report ( sounding like Steve Wright) says smelling such emissions makes the brain stronger and may prevent dementia. Getting rid may also prevent cancer, heart attacks and strokes.
This will mean I may live long enough to see Ulster win the Guinness PRO12 or not the Heineken Cup, but by then Guinness will have gone bust, after their owners are rounded up in the second internment sweep, following the outbreak of the Brexit Wars and Kingspan step in as the main sponsors of the competition. They naturally demand the Mexicans are banned from their new league, replacing them with Gloucester, who prove to be gash and sack Humph.
It will all be coming to a future reality near you soon.

Sorry Baggy, kinda talkin over ya there. Spanners is indeed functional, but compared to our new National stadium (stop tittering up the rear) it's a friggin palace.

Sunblest Veda'n'cheese
Tayto Cheese'n'Onion
Guinness
And my very own Hydrogen Sulphate emissions
My Missus (most of the time) for tolerance.

Fixed that for you
You forgot Belfast bap and pickled onions crisps inside, plus Black Bush...

Stroke city, the World's biggest Shytehole, worse even than Stab City..

Apparently the "finish" at Windsor is appalling, although it looks good from a distance.

you could say that about most things in Northern Ireland.

From a distance is how Winger Park should be viewed.
I didn't forget Black Bush, much as I try to, but Mr Cochrane at Dundonald's cardiac ward told me it was gonna kill me, so I now take the occasional Guinness.
I've gone of Belfast Baps a bit, as they're mostly air, unlike Skinner's own Veda and my own wheaten Bread.
Pickled Onion crisps are nearly as good as Cheese'n'Onion, but way too modernist for my taste.

Hang on a minute, has it ever been documented that Black Bush has killed someone ? OK they might have fallen off a cliff under the influence or their liver might have been pickled but do a shot of the stuff ever finish someone off ?

[Tender]

In the interest of clarity, Bush(Black or standard) or Jameson's do not make unhealthy products, but a problem might arise if large quantities are consumed. I was downing more than a bottle every Friday and Saturday night and this was before I was a regular at Spanners, so no blame attaches itself to UR.
I drank it neat, with Jameson's being the lighter option. My tolerance was such, I could still quite safely walk, talk and climb stairs. I seldom appeared drunk to others and never had a hangover.
After a serous drink one Friday night, my ticker started going into spasms, along with it wee tubes and I ended up in Dundonald Hosp. Just too much alcohol in my blood.
That's what'll kill ye.

FFFS Tender you appear to have been a master with the Breakfast of Champions. Very sad that your status has been damaged by an ungrateful heart. You have my deep sympathy for your loss.

I'm a much more low grade consumer, indeed a rank amatuer by your description, I must admit but I bloody love it & the occasional binge, a siege of Whiskey/Whisky is a wonderful thing every so often. I not there is nothing overly rational behind it but good whiskey sends me on my ringpiece much more quickly than the likes of gin or wine. More than likely the undiluted hit from it.

[Tender]

I only ever took the Oirish type, and I wasn't told not to drink it, just not to drink it like a fish. Problem being I love the taste of it and I couldn't trust myself to have the 'odd glass' as suggested by Mr Cochrane. So I give it a miss, and after six months total abstinence, my tolerance levels had reset to about the level they were at when I was 12yrs old. Then one night, Four small bottles of Guinness, and the Angel I married had to practically carry me up the stairs. That was five years past and I can now manage six pints without falling over, but that's the limit. The problem lies in tolerance levels. Regular drinking can raise it quite quickly and the liver, heart and kidneys can't cope.
I now smile when I listen to lads at work boasting about being bladderred and how much they drank. I got the Tshirt and a warning. I've nothing to prove, but I'll tell anyone who'll listen 'Don't drink regularly and don't drink often' unless you want to die, or wreck your health.

Wise words there tighter, sounds like you had a lucky escape

[Tender]

Indeed a salutary tale which those without thought see as terrible, but without wanting to sound like a sanctimonious Ashton, it changed my life for the good. I had people in my life who I called friends, but our socialising was based around the consumption of vast quantities of hard booze. I've cut them out of my life and I don't miss them.
Saved me a small fortune since, bought that longed for Gibson, paid off the mortgage and had a few good hols. Well worth it.

Tender, I assume you realised I was not entirely serious in lamenting your loosening of you ties to the Breakfast of Champions and though I've never had health issues with alcohol, I too drink hugely less than I once did. Indeed, at present there is almost no alcohol being consumed in our house as my son has recently realised that booze is doing him no favours.

It's like anything else, from the age of 13 I played golf, man and boy I was out there regular as clockwork, eventually to a one handicap when you had to work to keep that level, but here's the thing. In my 20s I gave it up for about 4 years and more recently have had shoulder problems which mean I haven't played for 4 years and may not again. It's not that I wouldn't enjoy a game every now and then, but I rarely think about it.

Fair play to you for making a positive out of it. Just one thing, WTF is a Gibson? In my mind I'm seeing either a guitar or one of those tiny cars ould lads in WWI pilot googles drive around to nowhere in particular.

[thecrouch]

Gibson is a guitar baggster.

I love the taste of beer. Like oul weemin love the taste of a pot of tay, I love the taste of beer.

Glad to hear you're sorted Tighter End, it's a dangerous hole to fall in to. Full of snakes, and not a mongoose to be seen.
