    I was shocked (being a nordy and all that) to overhear a D4 girl ordering chips and asking for "salt and vinny".

    Imagine that....an orange faced ugg wearer....eating CHIPS!

    Who drinks Heineken anyway? Paulaner is far superior. As long as it's the one with alcohol in it.

    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.

    LMAO.
    That would be bloody funny to see.

    Uck pint of probably, hoors delight, MGD (or even worse as it's not intentional, Millers)

    You know on it's own it's not the worst thing in the world but often it's a spa ordering or some smart arse seeing can he catch you out. And it is not restricted to Dublin unfortunately.

    Is it our friends Ross, Fionn, Oisin, JP, etc that we have to thank for calling Heineken Ken ?

    That's where I heard it first.

    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?!

    Wait a minute, your calling them toffs and they're drinking Bavaria? Something doesnt add up there!!

    I wonder are the toffs having a similar conversation elsewhere about being in a toff bar...eh howl at the moon and saying, "Roight, so this chap, if you could call him that haw haw, walks in and orders a pint of Heineken. I mean, what is he loike, Heineken. So emborassing for him!!"

    somebody who drinks lager might not necessarily want to drink wheat beer. But yes i agree with you, Paulaner is a fine beverage. Just a pity it's owned by, surprise surprise, Heineken.

    We abbreviate or put slang names on things constantly in everyday life, why is it such an issue when its drinks.

    Any time someone orders a 'Sudi' off me I tell them we don't stock anything by that name.

    Bav- fair enough, abreviation like Bud.

    I'd just like to know why northsiders are obsessed with the Bud Ice Cold tap. They can't get enough of it. Pointing at it, touching it, reiterating every time they order a pint that it's Bud ICE COLD that they want...
