Oi'll have a point of ken..

FesterBeatty

I was in the Quays Bar in temple bar the other day, i stood at the bar but left before even ordering a drink ... and this was the conversation between three D4 lads that made me leave and want to run through the bar with a machine gun..

(2 guys at the bar, and the third just walks in to meet them)

One of the guys at the bar: "Ah, Jonathan - what ore we having?"

Jonathan (apparently): "Hi guys, Oi'll have a Hoino"

His mate at the bar looks down his nose at him and with a raised eyebrow says "Ooohh try to keep up Jonathan, its called KEN now"

Raises his hand at the barman: "Three Ken please" ... and the fu(kin barman knew what he was talkin about!

I'm still cringing!

Was in the bar in Trinity on Friday and the toff-ish looking guy beside me asked for ''four bavs there please pol''
Can they not just say Bavaria and not sound like total cúnts?!

What do they call a pint of the usual in those strange parts?

This was news about 6 years ago.

When did you get out of prison OP?

ScumLord

Neither of those names are written on the bottle, it's called Heineken I'm sending an email to Heinekens attorneys, they'll more than likely carpet bomb temple bar and D4 to prevent misuse of their trademark.

petebricquette

I don't really see your gripe here, OP. It's a colloquialism. An annoying one, yes but how are you not used to it by now?

prinz

Slightly more annoying than the other classic.. 'A pinta buuuud, buuuuud'..

When ordering Guinness ask for a pint of Father Peidophile....you get a few strange looks but get served immediately.

A few years ago (seven or eight maybe) there was an advertising campaign by Heineken that said something like "Having a Barbie without a heineKen wouldn't be right." Or a spruced up version of that.

biko

Of course you need to drink Ken when you're at the Barbie

If somebody ordered four bavs, I wouldnt be the least bit surprised if they were provided with some form of sexual pleasure from a long lashed Thai ladyboy.

Tsk. They're both wrong.

Its Vitamin H these days.

Friend of mine years ago was working behind the bar in a pub in Galway.

A young Dublin fellow asked her for two pints of Probo (this is what the young Dublin fellows were calling Carlsberg at the time).

She fixes him with a stare and says, "What did you order?"
Young Dublin fellow, slightly taken aback replies, "Eh..... two pints of Carlsberg."
"In future order pints like a normal person or you won't be getting served."

Morale of the story - don't indulge these people and they'll soon learn the error of their ways.

FYP :pac:

Also, as has been mentioned, Heineken is now known as Vitamin-H or H-Bomb.
