First topic message reminder :

Someone said we needed one...

Personally not a huge drinker myself. In fact very rarely drunk, however when I drink I prefer things such as Southern Comfort with Lemonade or Coke. Not really tried that much stuff myself just don't really find being intoxicated is all what it's made out to be personally. Call me a square but I'm not alcohols biggest fan. However it's gotten me into a few more beds than I wouldn't usually so ah well eh...

What do you like to drink?
What occassions, what drink?
Then we can rip each other for being girly or so overtly macho that you are clearly just compensating for the fact that deep down you've always been bi-curious. (Don't worry Sean your secrets safe over here)

Union, don't complain about it. 1 in 5 people are Chinese (according to Rotley). Therefore your little dinkler is still bigger than 20% of the worlds population. Just think if you went to China, you'd be able to think you had a big dong in the gents compared to the little Chinese men over there!

Just stick to Carlsberg though for session drinking, for some reason i actually quite like it.

Nothing wrong with VB coxy, always have it when I go to the Walkabout. It's either that or snakebite, it really depends on whether I want to vomit later or not.

Slightly off topic, but has anyone ever eaten a cheese called Stinking Bishop?

I had some over the weekend and it very nearly made me sick. I can still smell and taste it now. Foul stuff.

So I am "pretending" I like the taste of cheese. How very condescending of you, Tino. I shall bear your thoughts in mind next time I go cheese shopping, and not buy any cheese for fear of upsetting you.

Eh?

That bears no resemblance to your patronising post, you bizarre horse. I just asked a simple question, didn't make reference to anyone else. Poor effort at having a dig, Union. Expect better from you.

Not sure what I have done to upset you recently but you have been quite vile towards me.

A little wine shop in a town near me called Hitchin. Met the guy that owns it at a works do. His company were catering and when he told me where his shop was, it turned out it was only 20 minutes down the road. He is a genuine expert and I follow his advice on what is a good wine and good vintage as and when they arrive. We are good friends now and he is yet to let me down. It is very pricey, but he does me a good deal most of the time. You can get great wines in supermarkets now though, the days of crappy supermarket wines are long gone. Seany is right about Aldi, if you want a dead easy red wine to drink, they do a fantastic Pinot Noir that is dirt cheap but lovely to knock back if you just want something quick and easy. Obviously I try very hard to avoid been seen in Aldi, but sometimes needs must.

Tend to get mine from virgin wines which are always pretty good and only cheap at between £7-15 a bottle. They also do a wine bank in which you get an extra quid per 5 spent. Don't claim to be a wine connisiuer by any means but do enjoy a glass of red.

A 'Blastaway', which was a bottle of Castaway and a bottle of Diamond White cider poured into a pint glass was the preferred method of vomit inducement when I was but a young man.

I once had three of these, then vomited, in a projectile style, right into an ashtray that was on the table in front of me.

The room resembled a multi-coloured version of the Trevi Fountain.

Happy days.

It was on a cheese board in a restaurant and I was been goading into eating it. I was basically showing off and stuck a big chunk in my gob and then regretted it. I genuinely gagged, it was that disgusting.

I love a good cheese and Stinking Bishop is a beauty.

I think it may be made differently to most cheeses. I'll go on google.

The distinctive odour comes from the process with which the cheese is washed during its ripening; it is immersed in perry made from the local Stinking Bishop pear (from which the cheese gets its name) every four weeks while it matures. The process is said to have links with that used by local Cistercian monks who have long been associated with the production of washed rind cheeses.[2]

To increase the moisture content and to encourage bacterial activity, salt is not added until the cheese is removed from its mould. Air bubbles form in the mould, giving the finished cheese an Emmental-like appearance when sliced.[citation needed]

Never been a big cheese man personally. Don't mind some stuff but some just smells like my cricket socks after i've left them with my keeping inners in the bag for a week.

Like soft fruity cheese personally, raspberry stuff etc

If Tinker was a cheese, I'd have him down as a mild cheddar. Bland, uninspiring, but relatively inoffensive to those with low expectations.

I like a bit of cheese and wine. Borolo is my current favourite.

I drink Guinness but am partial to Belgian beer. I have a mate who lives in Belgium and I've been over to visit her. It's true what they say Belgian's are boring. I eventually found some local alchoholics who managed to drink 4 beers in one night.

They didn't take kindly to us in Brussels. Vague memories of ending up in an Irish bar singing Hey Jude on the tables.

Got in trouble for leaving the table without actually handing the money over as well even though we said it was in there. Got so sick of listening to some Franglais muppets trying to divide the bill up by who exactly had what we just walked out after leaving the cash inside the leather wallet they give you.

Bunch of weirdos. Beer festival in the main square (from memory it had spire towers, might've been a cathedral, can't remember) was awesome though.

Needless to say they inherited the white flag waving mentality from the French and that was only against 1 guy.

Lovely city to take the mrs i'd imagine, very pretty to look at the but the locals are dull as anything. Wanted a bit more of a lively time and some locals took exception, others quite enjoyed us getting them involved in the banter, drinking games etc

I'd rather drink with scousers to be honest

For Brit ales you can't beat Bombadier in my opinion, with Speckled Hen and Doom Bar close runners up and Honeydew a summery alternative.
No I haven't. I think you'd struggle to get it over here, never been to Belgium. What would you compare it to/style?

Yeah I drink Bombardier/Speckled Hen on tap, but find Fullers 1945 and ESB a bit more interesting.

Not sure really, if you ever get to a Belgos restaurant they serve it but it's the only place over here I've seen it. Bruges is great, can do it from London in a day trip driving but it's a push (unless you split the driving responsibility) but you can get a cheap(ish) hotel and just stay over the night easy enough. There's a great pub there that has an entire beer menu about 3-4 inches thick, contains over 400 beers. And they have the speciality glass to go with each variety of beer too. There's plenty of cultural stuff to do and lots of chocolate in case you need to convince the missus this beer-meccah is worth a trip!

My dad loves Ruddles bellchees, it's not something I can get in to. He also loves IPA, and I just don't get it...

I'm not a big fan of Desperados, I found it a bit sickly and sweet. I do like Corona or Sol though, but I tend to only drink it in the summer, as adverts have conditioned me to not need to think for myself any longer.

When I was at Leeds Uni (a short stint) they used to run a night called the Tequila Society at a smallish club. Can't remember the exact details now but it was around 40p a shot. On pretty much every occasion I went there, Paramedics would be called in to strecther people away. I heard ait was shut down a a couple of years after i left.

'Brahma', the Brazilian version of Corona/Sol, is also a nice summer lager.

Used to drink bitter in my uni days, used to steal ruddles county from the old man hence the acquired taste. Used to quite like a bit of London Pride & Brakespear. Used to be partial to Caffreys/any smooth bitters as well.. Had one the other day and wondered what was wrong with me 10 years ago, was horrid.

You're a southerner wouldn't know a decent bitter if you fell over it.

Ha, well if you're looking for somewhere convenient and cheap (ie no flight costs or multiple night stayovers) but where you need to drag the missus along it's a great shout. If 'she' isn't going to be a factor however I'd definitely recommend Budapest or Berlin ahead of it!

Caffreys - my first ever pint! Still quite partial to it to this day......
