Sipping a Belfast Ale here. Not to my liking at all, actually not sure if I'll finish it tbh

Have had their lager before (not bad) & Clothworthy Dobbin on cask (pretty damn good) but Whitewater have far from excelled with this effort

What is the relevance of "india" in i.p.a. ?

Overthelast · 31-07-2013 9:36pm

Ales would not keep when the Brits shipped them to India. So they had to create a special brew that would last the 3 month ship journey to india, hence the name ( or so I'm told)

Rather than admit I didn't know that I'll do like the 2 lads on the Rice Krispies ad....I didn't know that most people didn't know that.

Overthelast · 31-07-2013 9:54pm

All this talk of drink is making me thirsty. I spent 3 hours sheltering from torrential rain at Ballybrit today. I think I deserve a pint. I'm putting on my jacket.

I've never been to the Salthouse but the same crowd have a few places in Dublin

If you're a stout man try Buried At Sea. Pricey seeing as they brew it but an exceptional stout. If IPAs are your thing they've plenty to choose from

I have yet to drink a stout, of any kind. But I will. The buried at sea is staring me in the face. But I was feeling frisksy. I have a Galway Hooker in front of me.

You've never had a pint of Guinness?

Overthelast · 31-07-2013 10:37pm

Afraid not. Most of my friends drink it. And swear by it. But they say you shxt turf the next day. I confess, I drank bud only until I found Weiss Biers a few yr's back. I have now expanded to IPA and happily enjoy either.

Overthelast · 31-07-2013 10:45pm

Strange taste. Sweet, chocolately. Light. Weird. Not what I expected.

Johner · 31-07-2013 10:47pm

Christopher Dawson, a 22-year-old, is a registered sex offender prohibited from speaking to anyone under the age of 18. When he was 19, he had what he says is a consensual sexual relationship with a 14-year-old. He believed she was older.

Haha big pedo head on him. He thought she was older. lol.

Overthelast · 31-07-2013 10:48pm

Just spotted, called chocolate milk. 4.3%

Any of you play poker? There's a big festival in Galway for the next 2 weeks. I might try a hand of the Texas Holdem tourney's

Colonel Sanders · 01-08-2013 6:52pm

Buried At Sea is an exceptional Stout. Free pint if you flash your Blur ticket in The Black Sheep.

The system works

Ye are like a bunch of women. Nothing feminine about the 16 inch tuna roll i just demolished

Slattsy · 01-08-2013 8:16pm

Moi ?? Moi ???

I love booze! There's a lovely red ale i drank somewhere a few weeks back and i have to say it was delicious. **** cant think of the name :mad:

I do like a tuna roll - with onions, toms and swiss cheese - a great combo.

UrbanSea · 01-08-2013 8:21pm

I went for tomato mozzerella and some sort of Italian sweet relish

Thank **** tomorrow is Friday and a long weekend ahead. I need a few days to relax.

****e racing tomorrow.

UrbanSea · 01-08-2013 11:46pm

No day of rest for me. Finishing up work Sunday week, will be twenty five days in a row worked

Slattsy · 01-08-2013 11:47pm

It'll be a nice pay cheque at the end of the rainbow though.

Spend it wisely.

Cocaine and hookers. BOOM

What does the Saturday at Galway be like in terms of crowds?

Was up there for Ladies Day last year and as expected, it was packed. Presuming the Saturday is a lot quieter?

UrbanSea · 02-08-2013 2:57am

Baz where have you been for so long

Just demolished my personal best time, 8.8k in 37.50

Slattsy · 02-08-2013 4:22pm

Just picked up a serious piece of pork belly from the butchers for Saturday nights dinner.

It will be cooked slowly for 4-5 hours !!
Droooooooooooooooooool

Great minds... I bought a shoulder of pork yesterday, it's sitting in the fridge since yesterday night having been coated in numerous spices, will lob it into the slow cooker when I'm off to bed tonight, it'll be absolutely sensational for a feed of pulled pork sandwiches tomorrow afternoon!!!

Slattsy · 02-08-2013 5:08pm

I've always been meaning to pick myself up a slow cooker. Ideal for shoulder.

You can only really roast the belly though.

droidman123 · 02-08-2013 7:48pm

I have been a self confessed lurker all week,stuck on the late shift in work and reading all the posts about the racing,jealous as hell. Oh i nearly forgot, i have the next two weeks off : ) p.s i was delighted to see bolgers horse beaten!

Overthelast · 03-08-2013 2:26am

Ninjago to save my week. Poor few days betting wise.

carpothepunk · 03-08-2013 6:40pm

UrbanSea · 03-08-2013 7:22pm
