A long term moderator, known for 'Stamping' on spammers and giving them a swift 'Boot' in the painful area, was this afternoon astounded when a Beamish delivery truck turned up outside his house with a years supply of Beamish. The company boss was a secret 'Closet winamper' and decided to reward the loyalty of above mentioned mod. A responce is yet to be heard from the mod in question.. [Breaking winamp St.Patricks Day News] :D |
Oh, how I wish that were true, we might own it, but getting any here is the work of the devil, I managed to secure a case at Christmas , cost me a bloody fortune as well!, every can is appreciated like it's the last.........:slurp smilie:
And if my boss is reading this, well ummmm, see you on the outside......:cry: |
Guinness in the UK is pretty Irish now though. And I have to say I'm not a big fan of Beamish (probably because it just tastes like an ale to me, and there's a plentiful supply of tastier ales around here).
Happy St. Patrick's though. I'm gonna get drunk after work, I feel. :) |

Used to work for a company that makes the cans and tops for the likes of Bemish - come November/early december we'd get a big increase in returns due to the printing being well 'Offset' ;) The thing is, once we put the blanks the cans were made from in one end of the machine, we never saw them again. They'd be shipped straight to the beer company for filling/distribution. It's there that the cans/tops are checked and any that are wrong are rejected. If it's because of printing, they'd be returned to our company as rejects. result? We got a load of cheap booze for the xmas :D |
You and Jones are started to sound as Irish as Paddy's Pig!
:p Have a good one all ..me I'm celebratin' later at a really cool pub!:D I don't drink beer, but they've got whiskey! :D:up: |
I'm honarary Irish, I was delivered into the world by an Irish Midwife who convinced my mother to 'give the lad an nice oirish name' instead of the one she had picked out for me :D

We have a big night down at the folk club tonight, as we always do on St Patrick's day. The star turn, an 'All Ireland' fiddle champion, has reported in with two broken fingers, but without too much trouble has been replaced with an 'All Ireland' champion singer and another 'All Ireland' champion fiddler. We are extremely rich in Irish musicians here in London :)
No one who can sing an Irish song will have an empty glass tonight. I shall not be touching the black stuff myself, never has been to my taste, and I always get frowned upon for drinking Smethick's when we're in Dublin(a fine drop by the way). I fully intend to hit the Power's though. UJ |
I have no idea what ya' said in the last part Ujay, but it sounds like you're havin' a great time! :D

Darn These Flys! An Englishman, a Scott, and a Irishman walked into a pub. Each orderd a pint of beer. Then a fly landed in each one's beer. The Englishman, turning slightly green, pushed his beer away and asked for another one. The Scott took the fly out, shrugged, and drank his beer. The Irisman pinched the fly between his fingers and yelled "SPIT IT OUT!" "SPIT IT OUT!" One Wish Two Irishmen were adrift in a life boat following a dramatic escape from a burning freighter. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, one of the men stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, a genie came forth. This particular genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought to the matter the man blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into beer!" The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull broke the stillness as the men considered their circumstances. One man looked disgustedly at the other whose wish had been granted. After a long, tension filled moment, he spoke: "Nice going idiot! Now we're going to have to piss in the boat." Driving Home Drunk An Irishman who had a little too much to drink is driving home from the city one night and, of course, his car is weaving violently all over the road. A cop pulls him over. "So," says the cop to the driver, "where have ya been?" "Why, I've been to the pub of course," slurs the drunk. "Well," says the cop, "it looks like you've had quite a few to drink this evening." "I did all right," the drunk says with a smile. "Did you know," says the cop, standing straight and folding his arms across his chest, "that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?" "Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk. "For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf." My Two Brothers An Irish man walks into a pub. The bartender asks him, "what'll you have?" The man says, "Give me three pints of Guinness please." So the bartender brings him three pints and the man proceeds to alternately sip one, then the other, then the third until they're gone. He then orders three more. The bartender says, "Sir, I know you like them cold. You don't have to order three at a time. I can keep an eye on it and when you get low I'll bring you a fresh cold one." The man says, "You don't understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the States. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night we'd still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three Guinness Stouts too, and we're drinking together. The bartender thought that was a wonderful tradition. Every week the man came in and ordered three beers. Then one week he came in and ordered only two. He drank them and then ordered two more. The bartender said to him, "I know what your tradition is, and I'd just like to say that I'm sorry that one of your brothers died." The man said, "Oh, me brothers are fine----I just quit drinking." Meet the Devil Padraic Flaherty came home drunk every evening toward ten. Now, the Missus was never too happy about it, either. So one night she hides in the cemetery and figures to scare the beejeezus out of him. As poor Pat wanders by, up from behind a tombstone she jumps in a red devil costume screaming, "Padraic Sean Flaherty, sure and ya' don't give up you're drinkin' and it's to Hell I'll take ye'". Pat, undaunted, staggered back and demanded, "Who the hell ARE you?". Too that the Missus replied, "I'm the divil ya' damned old fool". To which Flaherty remarked, "Damned glad to meet you sir, I'm married to yer sister." 10 Guinness's An American walks into an Irish pub and says, "I'll give anyone $100 if they can drink 10 Guinness's in 10 minutes." Most people just ignore the absurd bet and go back to their conversations. One guy even leaves the bar. A little while later that guy comes back and asks the American, "Is that bet still on?" "Sure." So the bartender lines 10 Guinness's up on the bar the Irishman drinks them all in less than 10 minutes. As the American hands over the money he asks, "Where did you go when you just left?" The Irishman answers, "I went next door to the other pub to see if I could do it." Sister Mary Margaret Sister Mary Margaret enters O 'Flynn's liquor shop. "I'd like to buy a bottle of Irish whiskey", she tells O 'Flynn. The owner of the store shakes his head and frowns. "A bottle of Irish whiskey? And you being a nun too." "Oh no, no," Sister Mary Margaret exclaims. "It's for Father Reilly. His constipation, you know." O'Flynn smiles, nods, and puts a bottle into a bag. Sister Mary Margaret pays, takes the bag and goes on her way. Later that day, O'Flynn closes shop for the day. On his way home he passes an alley. There in the alley is Sister Mary Margaret. She's rip roaring drunk, the empty bottle at her side. "Sister!" O'Flynn scolds. "And you said it was for Father Reilly's constipation." "It is," answers Sister Mary Margaret. "When he sees me, he's gonna shit!" http://pilgrimwineandspirits.com/db5.../smithwick.jpg HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY EVERYONE :D |

To all you "Irishmen" (from a lad of Irish descent),
If you really knew about St. Pat's day, you probably wouldn't be drinking quite so much. In Ireland, yes, people in Ireland love Guinness, Harp, Smithwicks, Beamish, Murphey's, Power's, Red Breast, Jameson's, Bushmill's and all the other fun alcohols... BUT NOT ON ST. PAT'S DAY! Irish people don't get drunk on St. Pat's day, they go to Mass (Catholic church service). They eat good food e.g. corned beef and cabbage maybe with a ton or two of potatoes on the side, but they aren't supposed to get drunk. Getting drunk on St. Pat's day is more or less a mockery of the Irish, so get drunk some other day. |
whatever

That was you?:eek: |
Yah, I wear the bear suit on Fridays, the chicks dig it.

Don't worry, although I don't drink on St. Pat's day, I'll be sure to pour the perfect pint tonight.
...and if that pint isn't perfect, I'll drink it and try again to pour the perfect pint... ...and if that pint isn't perfect... |
