Same here and that crazy wine stuff, can't think of the name of it now. You'd be loaded in a short time.
I still love a bulmers if I'm out for a bit to eat, but I wouldn't have too many now.
A pint of Smithwicks is my usual, I like a good whiskey and a sup of gin sometimes too.
In the kitchen cooking up a storm for the masses. Chicken and homemade chips with green beans and garden peas.
I spoil the fcukers.

Buckfast when I was feeling posh
Schooner when I was slumming it.

A flaggin of cider down by the railway tracks was a rite of passage for 14 year olds when I was a kid.

On the couch cobbling together fridge surprise for dinner with mashed spuds...
3 small ones in the bath, I needed the floor washed and Elliot is sitting on my knee chewing his finger and shouting at me cos he's tired but won't go asleep.
I had the 7 year old with the gp today, he's to be tested for coeliac on Wednesday, it'd be great to have an answer for him. Poor pet has been suffering in silence for the last few months.
I Says, so sorry about your Aunt.

I did many a night in the bushes by Arva Lake when I was young.
Just heard today too that an old lad we used to know there has died, he used to go into the local off-licence to buy stuff for us betimes, we had to give him the price of something for himself, he liked a sup and hadn't always the price of it.
Lord have mercy on him, he was a sound ould skin.

Memories of Eddie Marums bar in Naas, he had it on draught too, wasn't a bad ale tbf

I was a devils bit field mouse too.
I remember (bits) of getting 2 bottles of 2 liter devils bit, the first 2l went down easily enough, I struggled with the second bottle but powered through and the minute I stood up what seemed like a fountain of fermented apples rained out of my nose. I was probably gagging but it was exiting via my nose anyway.

Or necking a bottle of green Mickey Finns before my debs. I was drunk before I even got off the bus at the hotel.

Ahh to be 17 again, and so deficient of fuccks I almost needed an IV.

Rubberlegs

It seems knacker drinking ( as we called it) was definitely a thing with us posters of a certain vintage, lol. The railway tracks, the fields and a place called The Knock, up above the train station in Waterford were popular haunts. I was a messy 14yr old!

In the kitchen counting down the hours till bedtime, the 7yr old decided to wake for the chats and snuggles before 5.30 this morn.... Zzzzzzzzzz....

Lol , same here , no issues getting served at all !
Stag was fine , Satzenbrau tasted mouldy I always thought , Ritz was posh Stag
What's the one that's popular now that is very similar to Ritz ?

Rubberlegs

Is it West Coast Cooler? Does anyone remember this?
