Ban Buckfast-Keith Finnegan

PopeBuckfastXVI aint gonna be happy.

Just a guess here but because it's a wine its a higher percentage of Alcohol than a beer or cider. Plus its cheaper and a different flavour than most other wines so maybe that's something to consider?..I don't know I couldn't give a ****e either way...the name Buckie or bottle of B annoys me so I wouldn't miss it either way

Thats that fortified wine isn't it? Why do people make the comparisons between Schooner and Buckfast. They don't taste one with alike! Schooner is the closest think to drinking Vinegar as you can drink, without drinking Vinegar!! Its not my cup of tea anyway! But I know a few that have acquired a taste for it!

Whats the Centra bucky?

Lidl used to make stuff called Nobleman (maybe they still do, the last time I saw it was rag week about 6 years ago) and that used to be compared to Buckfast to. It was kinda like it, alot more than Schooner anyway.

By the power vested in me by the lord god jesus christ who turned water into buckie for a weddin' Keith Finnegan is hereby excommunicated.

Forget it. Buckie is a part of Galway's culture at this stage!

Ban Keith Finnegan

It'd be more damaging to galway's image if bucky got banned. From a practical point of view, which is easier to tidy up - 1 empty bottle or 6+ cans?

Foxerella

He should spare a moment to think of the poor monks who make buckie, thry'd become desitute if its banned in Galway

Anyone remember the KuMarket where Nestors is in Ballybane? They used to sell a pallet of buckie every day - a friend of mine worked there and some days, they were sold out by six o clock!!! At one stage, the biggest sales of buckie in Galway were out of there!

LadyMayBelle

My brother used to work in that Supervalu and said they were the biggest sellers of Buckfast in the country...

galwayrush

Apparently it's a toss up between Galway and Glasgow on which city is the biggest consumer of the stuff, mind boggling when you compare the sizes of the 2 cities.:eek:

I don't want it banned - I want it sold in plastic bottles and all other types of alcohol people smash around the place too! Having to walk home 3 miles pushing a bike after having had ones bike tyres slashed yet again by Buckfast shards is no joke!

Great days:p

consumption per capita would make Galway the bigger consumers of the buckie then I think

No need to ban the stuff: just let all the kids know that when you drink Buckie, the profits are going to the Catholic church - in England - (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckfast_Tonic_Wine and http://www.buckfast.org.uk/page-tonicwine.html), and they'll drop it like poison.

I couldn't give a sh1t if the proceeds from Buckfast are going to the "Resurrect Hitler" fund tbh i'll still buy the stuff (by the case )

Who's Keith Finnegan ? No doubt a member of that utterly useless radio station Galway Bay fm (which should be banned IMO).

Anyway the only thing that should be done with buckfast is it should be sold in Plastic bottles so the retards who drink it don't continue to smash them all over the Spanish Arch area and around my house.

Keith Finnegan is galways answer to Pat Kenny (The Plank) if Pat is a 6 x 2 planks them Keith would be a 9 x 4 Plank, loves the sound of his voice and thinks hes Mr galway and everyone loves him. But he is a 9 x 4.:P

It was about €3 until new year when Tesco jacked up the prices... Must of been pressure on Tesco seeing as the red rose by over €5 in price this year (even though it tastes like fortified muck)

Absolute Dirt but it did the job when stuck for money in College!!

I don't doubt that they sold a large quantity of Buckfast in Ballybane, but in Oranmore before they stopped selling it they used to sell lots of it too. At one point a few years back, you had to sign a book when they sold it to you - was a great way of seeing who was around that night!!

Where does this notion come from that Buckfast is cheap? €10-11 for a bottle of wine? That's not cheap. Statoil used to sell 2 bottles of 15% wine for €15 or something, that's cheap.

They tried to ban Bucky in Glasgow as well, especially when all the mad neds started challenging eachother to down it in one go. It didn't work anyway.

Your friend is absolutely full of **** if he told you that. A pallet every day :rolleyes: ... you'd be doing well to shift half a pallet during the whole of rag week.
Anyhoo, it was O'Learys Off License in Salthill that had the biggest sale of Buckie in Galway for years before all the clubs opened up in town.

But you see it's not just a bottle of wine if it were nobody would buy it.It's bought for the buzz you get off it and there is simply no other drink out there that will give the same effect.
