Free of work until January now and have a tour of the craft beer pubs of Cork lined up for tonight to get me into the festive mood.

Did you do the Bierhaus pub crawl? Or was this your own thing?

same as, really shouldn't be eating it either, but because it's christmas I'm all like SCREW THE CONSEQUENCES!

HAVE A VERY \m/ERRY CHRISTMAS!

The Gogol Bordello gig during the week was amazing. I spent the first half of the show drinking a pint on the balcony. Once the pint was gone I danced my arse off. Gogol were superb (even if the main guy is being sued by loads of the old members.) I haven't been to very many gigs but I'd say this would be hard to top. It was also easy enough to get the bus up and down on the same day, I might try it again for another gig even I would be going solo.

Went on the Bierhaus one. It was a good laugh and many a fine beer was had.

I went on the Bierhaus one too! <engage stalker mode> Was I talking to you? I joined in at the Abbots. I was wearing the purple cowl neck top, long hair, drank a Kinnegar in the Fran Well, 8 Degrees Dubbel in the Friary, The Blacks' Stout and Metalman in the Bierhaus, Indian Summer and St Bernardus in the the Abbots.

That was a crazy night. I was a little hungover the next day.

Not too sure if I talked to you, my memory's a little fuzzy. I was the guy with long hair and a beard and I was wearing a Slomatics tee. Had some Full Irish, Indian Summer, Dubbel, Chieftain IPA, Blacks Imperial Stout and a few others in the Bierhaus at the end.

Great night alright. Fair play to Dave from the Bierhaus for the free drinks.

THis sounds like a damn fun pub crawl! :eek:

afternoon everyone

Links234

hey folks, everyone enjoying the weekend?

Reiketsu

Hey Links .

I'm having a really quiet weekend. Some TV, some games, some food :P. My daughter is at her grandmothers from yesterday until Monday so I'm sort of lost on how to fill my time.....but I'm sure I'll manage haha. How's your weekend going?

Links234

Good!

Steam Sale is on, bought one thing which is taking forever to download :eek: What games you playing?

Reiketsu

At the minute I'm giving Lords of Shadow a wee replay. I have loads of games that aren't even finished but I alwats end up going back to the favourites :pac:. What did you buy?

Links234

Ack I bought Lords of Shadow in the summer, still need to play it :eek:

I got Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

It isn't going to be finished downloading tonight, and I'm cooking Christmas Dinner tomorrow :eek: so probably too busy preparing everything to play it. got everything I need for dinner though, gonna be soooo good

Reiketsu

Aw I can't wait for my Christmas dinner on Thursday . My mum and I will be cooking it....or at least trying to as we both have our own way of doing things and like to be left to it :P. I've cooked the whole thing the past two years myself though. Good times of food and drink ahead

Mr. CooL ICE

I didn't want to buy any games in the sale, but I'm really considering buying the revamped Outcast. I bought it when I was younger but my parents' PC was just not powerful enough so I couldn't enjoy it and over time, lost the disk. It got crazily mixed reviews.

Links234

I guess I'm a bit weird that I have 2 Christmas dinners, lol Will be giving my girlfriend her gifts tomorrow as well, so it's practically 2 Christmases entirely

Mr. CooL ICE

Q: What's better than Christmas dinner?

A: Two Christmas dinners!

Me too.

Links234

I can't imagine having steak for Christmas

I'd mix it up with duck or goose or something, or even pork but steak? meh

Ronan|Raven

I would love a nice rib eye steak on Xmas day. I despise Turkey.

Ronan|Raven

Also just reading reports about the Kreator gig last night . So sickened to have had to sell my ticket for it. I still have never seen them play. Bloody families!

Angron

I always have steak for Christmas. Never really liked turkey, while a nice rare steak is fantastic.

Reiketsu

I love steak but it'd be weird to have it with Christmas dinner to me. I'll be in London forNew Years and my friends and I are booked into The Savoy for dinner on New Year's day. I'll be having steak then. Better be the best one of my life :pac:

One of my housemates is on a bit of a kick of making sweet potato fries, they are pretty good all right.

Links234

Mmm, I can get aboard with sweet potato fries

But honestly? when it comes to steak, I actually think it's a bit overrated. I used to eat steak a lot more than I do now, and I find the thing is, it's super easy to cook and there's not a whole lot to do with it. A steak's a steak pretty much anywhere, ribeye medium rare, you know exactly what you're getting, it's gonna be good, but I've gotten to the point where I just think it's a bit meh. if I'm eating out, I like to try something that I can't do at home, and at home I can cook a mean steak in a few minutes, bit of olive oil, hot pan, pssshhtt, flip, psssshhtt, serve with fried onions and mushrooms and whatever else you want, done.

Turkey is awesome, but I think a load of people dislike turkey because they've had bad turkey before, overcooked and dry and horrible. turkey shouldn't be dry! I'm basting mine in butter and then wrapping it in smoked bacon, it's going to be DAMNED good

Reiketsu

My turkey is never dry and I dont do anything particularly special with it. I'm just that good :pac:

GLaDOS

It's all about the stuffing really, I'd happily eat a big bowl of stuffing for christmas dinner
