An English AAR (GC 1.08). Something a little different..?

[Rictus]

Yes, a brewski would calm the nerves a little. Barmen! A pint of your finest if you please! <several minutes elapse>
Barman: What exactly do you want?
Me: <meekly> Guinness,please.

Wussy Drinkers

Drink some vodka you pansies! Enough of this beer BS

 

[unmerged(1996)]

Vodka, m8? Bit of a girl's drink, isn't it? I mean, Vodka's for when you've run out of stomach capacity and can't fit in any more beer, isn't it? Unless it's one of those oh-so-trendy mixer bottles with the arty-farty labels and the astronomical price tag...

OK. Joking. I drink Absolut. And Single Malt. And Dark Rum. And Bourbon when I feel like it, damn it... let's face it, if it's alcoholic and doesn't taste like tropical fruit, I'll try it...

 

[Pan Zagloba]

Well, being half-Polish, half-English means I get the best of both worlds - good beer and good vodka (as opposed to Absolut). And curries (although there's a very nice curry house in Krakow, if you're ever there).

But then, where can I find a pub in London that's showing Armenia v. Poland? Quite. So it's a quiet night in with Radio 5 and EU.

OT? Me?

PS. Don't forget to vote tomorrow, ye English.

Ah beer, drink of the gods

If you want beer come to Belgium beer-capital of the world
home of interbrew, the second largest brewer in the world
they own Labat, Bass and Guiness
we are bigger than Heineken (the sorry excuse for beer the dutch drink)

and vodka is nice too
better stop talking about alcohol and return too EU

The Air Strike is on its way...

Damn you guys! Now I absolutely *must* stop in at "Hilpeä Hauki" (or "Jolly Pike") for a pint of Fuller's E.S.B on my way home. If it ain't bitter, it makes me jitter.

Out here on the west coast, it's 7AM for football. But at least the hockey ends at a resonable time (the same day it starts... none of the 2AM finishes ), and we have decent weather (Snow? We don't get no stinkin' snow!

As for food and drink, we have access to them all: English beers, Canadian beers, American beers (Schlitz is the worst libation ever created

We have good beer here (mostly anything not brewed by Americans or major breweries), but I still miss the Fish'n'Chip cart on the road to Old Trafford...

2-0! (England v. Greece... huge match for England... now it's on to visit the Germans)... It's starting to look like we'll have our chance to get through. Too bad I'm stuck out here in the colonies... I couldn't see the game The barbarity of it all...

Cheers!

No advertising please. This is a family forum.

Oh cruel fate, why hast thou foresaken me?!?!

Not only has Ariel stopped posting his magnificent AAR, thus depriving me of my only joy in my otherwise dreary work day, he now attacks 2 things which I hold dear to my heart... and I don't mean god and country - AMERICAN BEER AND AMERICAN FOOTBALL!

There, you see, never in my life have I referred to the Glorious Past-time as 'American Football' - it's all Ariel's fault!

gasp... argh... need story fix bad.... light gettin dimmer...

 

[unmerged(4130)]

Just wanted to tell this is magnificent Ariel. Keep it up.

 

[Sir James]

Wherefore art thou, Ariel???

[German Accent]Hoho, chances?! You haf no chance. Vee vill be readdy for you, andt vee vill crush you! Never haf vee vorgiffen you for ManU-Bayern. Ve vill vinn! Yess, yess![/German Accent]

WhiteHojo---you are kidding, right? You don't really like American beer and American football. The NFL is all rigged anyway and only exists as a ploy to make unsuspecting males watch commercials for the horrible, watered-down stuff that passes for beer in the good ol' US of A.

 

[WhiteHojo]

Sgt. Bloomfield - I will ignore you're obvious lack of breeding, but I WILL NOT ignore your blatant attempt to slander the great American Pasttime! The Great Game is not rigged.... games can be influenced ... players can be encouraged to perform 1 way or another... officials can be threatened with physical harm if they do not assist your interests.... but RIGGED? NEVER!!

So, good Sir, I expect an immediate retraction at once!

On the beer issue, if I want to drink a thick, foul smelling, bitter, warm, liquid that would make a elephant gag, I will simply ingest the nearest bottle of motor oil.

Hey all -

SimonM - re: Fish'n'Chip cart on the road to Old Trafford. My office is about 500 yds from Old Trafford. Never seen a Fish'n'Chip cart nearby though...

WhiteHOJO - sigh as I went to great pains to explain, it's not real beer, it's lager, and it's not real football, it's... oh, I give up. A nation that can't spell 'colour' properly and still claims to be speaking English is just past redemption... And be careful what you say to Sgt B - he has a habit of calling perfectly inncocent Lord Chancellor's out on duels, and he cheats...

Sir James & Cornelius - Damn. Found me.

Sgt B - Are you ready for a tale of personal tragedy? Germany vs. England, right? Potentially the crunch match that decides the group, right? One of the most important matches since the semi final of Euro '96, right? September 1st, right? You'd think that nothing, and I mean nothing could possibly keep me from watching that match, right? Wrong. Have a guess which day my sister has decided to get married on...

I'd put a 'mad' smiley at the end of that paragraph but it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface...

And to all those awaiting the next installment of my AAR - I' m off now to read the bastard thread and see if it's reached a suitable plateau. If so, next update will come tomorrow... Cross your fingers.

Hey man, whatever turns you on, but personally I'd rather have a decent pint of proper beer...

Mind you, I have a confession to make. Seeing as it's summer, my fridge is stuffed full of mini-buds right now...

 

[unmerged(1996)]

And from now on, that'll be CAPTAIN Ariel to you lot!

 

[Rictus]

Yes sah! <salutes> Whatever you say sah! Don't worry, sah, we'll watch the match and even cheer for you, sah! <salutes Red Dwarf stylee for some minutes>

 

[Sgt. Bloomfield]

Ariel: God do I remember the European Cup '96?! The stunned faces of the fans. Such dreams---shattered... Oh, it was great: we really kicked some Brit-Butt then... Ooops! Sorry, strike that. Didn't mean to admit, uh... didn't mean that.

Ahem.

IN-GUR-LAND, IN-GUR-LAND, IN-GUR...

Sir. Captain. It has come to my attention that you have called me a cheater. I demand satisfaction. Your second will present himself to my second. You can chose any weapon you like, as long as it is heavy sabres. Yours, Sir Elliot Bloomfield

WhiteHojo: Go on, drink your "beer." Ignorance is Bliss. And if you want a little fix of ignorance, go here. Who knows, might even run into some old acquaintances...
