Sounds like the ethnic version of america's Football with beer and hotwings... except I unfortunatly rarely puke so I just get overly blitzed and wake up half drunk....
Maybe you should go for Stella [can you get it ?] instead of the cat's p...
Nice to see that both US and UK are drunken barbarians - hands across the water. I think however that you may be the more refined. Newcastle on a saturday night is like the Vikings never left - rape, pillage and looting. Fortunately [check spelling] Newcastle slopes down to the river so throwing up runs downhill. The law has a jolly time .

ic. im a strictly cheese only type of person.

occasionally ill feel like a pizza with olives, green peppers, mushrooms, and onions, but usually i just like cheese.

I hate meat on pizza... HATE it.

although i dont like bacon period, so i would hate it twice as much on pizza!

interesting though...

I rarely drink american beer (except micro brews) unless it's got a high alchol content... I drink a decent amount of Bud Ice (5.5% alchol) or Kokanee (about the same) then when people come over to hang out and drink beer they usually bring the cheap stuff like bud light or some crap like that and it goes down like water... European beer is MUCH better though but when it gets imported to the states it looses a lot of it's best qualities so it doesn't taste the same plus I think they lower the alchol content to meet regulations...

When I came home from my vacation in Germany and told my friends about cola beer they looked at me like I was nuts for putting cola in the beer until they tried it *L*

When I was much younger, the popular drinks with the Young Dudes were Black Velvet - Guinness and strong cider [supposed to be champagne not cider] and Snake Bite - heavy lager and heavy cider. The key to good imports is never drink anything out of a can and always drink bottled at origin. Some European beers are made under licence in other countries. If you can find it, try Pilsner Urquel brewed in Czech republic for centuries and the brewing vats are underground carved out of the natural limestone [stone vats !] The first few have to be forced down - extremely hoppy and bitter.

SI LOVE pilsner Urquel but it is COMPLETELY different tasting in the states even though it's directly imported. When I had it in Germany I loved it and drank LOTS of it then I got home and had a few and was severly dissapointed. Still better than most of our mass produced domestics but no where near as good as the fresh stuff... Guiness is the same way, much smoother in europe...

Prescription for a perfect night out in Newcastle, world's 5th most popular party city, is 10 - 12 pints of Stella Artois [Belgian head-banging beer] followed by a Madras curry [a very serious proposition] then throw up and pass out. Regarding the Madras, best to keep your toilet roll in the fridge to alleviate ring burn. [OMGTMI]
Gee what a fun time![sm=smiley11.gif]

I enjoy Madras curry right here at home. My Coventry gal was actuallyborn in India and she also makes a very good Vindaloo. We keep the toilet paper in the bathroom but also keep a bucket of ice there after eating Vindaloo.

Ever see the swimwear wornduring male swimming competition? Speedo is the style and brand name.
Bingo ! Gotcha cowboy ! Well ,its 7pm and its been a glorious day - bright sunny and cold enough to freeze them off a brass monkey. NO FOG repeat NO FOG. Just to give you a flavour of my life, Today I had tea and toasted teacake in a castle built by the Normans in the 11th century in Wensleydale. The idle retired life. How was your day ?
Tea? I take it they were out of Strongbow?

Today was good for me as well, thank you. Mid 70's today with a nice breeze.....perfect for my normal shorts & T-shirt attire. 5:30P here and enjoying a Tennessee bourbon whiskey with spring water. Location is in our castle be it ever so humble.

Greetings to your sainted Coventry lass. You are truly blessed. Vindaloo a bit industrial strength for me. India - yes - got some news from there to share. Imagine a 4-door, 5 seat mini car which does 60 mpg and tops 65 mph. 0.6 litre Bosch engine with cvt transmission, manufactured by TATA which has already made 4 million cars. Before you start s****ering, this company is buying Jaguar and Land Rover after already buying the largest steel company in the UK. They plan to export 1 million p.a. to Europe. Now, hang on to something solid, the price will be £1200 - no, i'm not joking, thats $2400 roughly. Full story plus other motoring stuff www.sundaymirrorco.uk Quentin Willson's column [he was part of Top Gear some years back.]
By- bye Fiat and all other mini car makers !
