    Whiskey and other spirits. Otherwise we'd have to drink 10 pints to get drunk instead of 1.

    The flush toilet.

    jaysus, what an invention?God bless Mr. Crapper.

    Sit on fine pewter in the comfort of your own home,read the Oirish Times,blow out the pipes into a contained area,press a button and she is fcukin gone!!!!:confused:

    You don't even have to look at it!!! No guilt!! Gonzo to the Pumping station,never to be worried about again.

    All taken care of.... when you think about it.. fcukin awesome??

    Look for some beer festivals, If your in Cork any time soon they sometimes stock it in an off licence called the Abbots Alehouse. Its hard to come by here, but its definately one of the best things invented by Belgium:D

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delirium_Tremens_(beer)

    You might be able to order it from this company:
    EURO BEERS LTD

    UNIT K10 - MARINA COMMERCIAL PARK

    CORK CITY

    IRELAND

    +353/214.31.58.65.

    They usually supply pubs and off licences but they might sort you out. Its worth the effort.

    I might try and get some just to see what is like. They probably only sell it in bulk though. Maybe we should order some in for the bar. :D

    Definately, though I reckon they wouldn't have enough to stock the Brotherhoods bar for very long:D

    My local Super Valu has some Austrian (I think) beer that's 14%. Haven't tried it yet, but I must pick up some during the week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,152 ✭✭✭carlowboy


    14%? That's insane! Wouldn't it be difficult enough to drink a few cans?

    14%. That's pretty sweet. Do you know the name? Where abouts are you located zaph?


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Haven't a clue what it's called, I was in a hurry and just happened to notice a sign for it as I was passing. It's in Super Valu Killiney.

    OK Brothers, I've done some digging and it seems that it was probably Samichlaus that I saw. It's Swiss according to The Beerhunter

    add automatic headlights / rain sensing windscreen wipers, cup holders, remote controls for car radio.
