    Well it means a lot more people will be health conscious so that means tesco and the like will be less likely to run out of sausages and rashers which means more fry ups for us.

    ok ok ... i concede it isnt necessarily the beergut thats bad news - its the heart disease that supercedes it!

    Bring on that take-away.

    It certainly was. Let that be a lesson to anyone who wades in here promoting "healthy eating" and all that nonsense.

    That will teach young odonnell not to be looking at those kind of websites too.

    Well ! You need to deal with this sort of thing before it can gather any momentum, otherwise brothers in training might be unduly upset and not give the gut the commitment it requires ! Next they'll be saying balding men aren't sexy and virile or bacon buttys aren't the food of the Gods :rolleyes:

    You disagree ? Or are you slighting my manmeat ? Explain yourself sir !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,119 ✭✭✭Wagon


    You have to stop worrying about these silly health scares. Im skinny, and just as lazy as the next man.

    Having a gut is just showing the world you look after yourself and don't let yourself go hungry and malnourished. We'll leave that to the anorexia forum. Now stop worrying my friend, get down to Dunnes and get a one litre can of proper German ale ;). The bar is never closed.

    No I agree. I'm saying that bald men not being sexy is complete poppycock or utter bull sh!te. I've been looking for an excuse to use that word for a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,212 ✭✭✭✭Tom Dunne


    I've been looking for an excuse to use that word for a while.

    Though Brother AC, I must point out that the word is a tad, well, ghey. It's down there with "toodle-pip" and "ta-ta for now".

    Utter sh!te is good, as is bollox.

    Here's a PM Pighead received from a distressed Beerguts member's girlfriend earlier on today:

    Dearest Pighead,
    Please help me. Since my boyfriend and I became a couple he has steadily put on weight. He now has a huge, round beer belly. He refuses to exercise at all and eats huge meals and junk food and iced coffee. While I am on an exercise machine in front of the telly, he is snoring or eating lollies.

    It has become very difficult and uncomfortable for me to have sex as I am now around half his weight and that big belly just beats me up. When I try to talk about it he says he doesn’t know why our relationship became all about looks. He thinks he is slim and that I am just making up excuses to avoid sex.
    Yours Sincerly,
    Almighty Cushions Girlfriend.

    She came clean to me pighead and she's told me that's she's in love with you. It broke my heart when she told me firdt but when she explained I soon understood. She said the reason she's gone off sex with me is because I'm not in to the whole scat thing and that the reason she has become so fond for you is the sheer amount of diarrhoea that flows from your mouth.

    I have not seen one study that has successfully linked beer and 'beer guts'.

    It's all smoke and mirrors to get people to buy diet products and pills, which are more expensive than beer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,567 ✭✭✭✭Fratton Fred


    your girlfriend's not very chatty Pighead. I took her out yesterday and she only said two words all night.



    I'm coming.;)


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


    That article was very long and quite frankly I couldn't be arsed reading all of it. From what I gather the gist of it is that beerguts are bad, but not having read down I'm assuming that they mean bad for business for manufacturers of small and medium sized clothing, or bad for the person who has to hang off the side of the seat while sitting next to a Brother on the bus.

    I thought it was something like bad as it means you have to reach further to scratch the extremes of it. Stretching could be construed as exercise. Can't be having that now, can we?

    that's why God invented scratching devices like back scratchers and monkeys

    If Pighead is still about will someone tell him that his village called and that they're worried about him being out on his own.

    An "Agony Pig". So true on several different levels.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    I haven't read the article but it was probably written by some unfortunate that is allergic to beer and begrudges the world for it!

    Don't worry brethern, it's just scaremongering... just remember, they used to think the world was flat :rolleyes:

    I dunno if I would trust the wimmins with scratching certain sensitive areas. atleat you can train a monkey to be fully obedient, but the wimmins think the harder the scratch; the more relief the man will get.

    I think the village butcher has a nice big red apple to prevent that from happening again.

    Maybe the Bacon Fries in the bar can now be made from pork, rather than mountain goat and sardines.

    Oh, Pish-Posh. So what!! Everything is "Bad" for us nowadays. If Rice Krispies and Pringles aren't giving us cancer then it's cow's farting that are "destroying" the enviornment.

    Vegetarians say meat is bad (heh, losers!), TV makes people violent (cuz it's so shít! Big Brother makes me want to assasinate the president!) and hearing one lyric of rap music will make you wanna smoke some greens as well as smoke that foo' in your neighborhood!!

    Smelling petrol & diesel is bad for you but it don't stop me from taking a good whiff when I'm at the petrol station!!
