own brand cider earlier...Its a quaffable brew if consumed with a few Rennies..

Must say,I got a cat bottle of spanish wine for €4 though.grand with a few Rennies.

I think you need to approach Rennies about making their own alcohol.

Mind you that Galahad shite is manky and they dropped it from 4.1 to 3.8 abv.My auld dear used to drink it until one morning we were having a few cans and she produced the Galahad and I pointed out the 3.8ness of it.Nearly swallowed her fag.Swears by lidls gargle now.

brilliant!haha!
I love that 3l stuff...needs to be freezin cold though...find druids/hornets scrumy to be too stong tasting, wouldnt go near bulmers or drink kopperberg type stuff, so tescos perfect...be amazed it its that cheap down here aswell...sweet deal!!

euch, cider, used to be a fan but a couple of bouts of gullet-rot put me off.........ever had a prolonged cider binge and found on day 3 or 4 that it's horribly painful to swallow because your gullet feels like it's partly dissolved? bollocks to that

 

[billygannon]

what can I say?

should I celebrate their £3 billion annual profits (on the backs of bankrupted small businesses and screwed over farmers) by putting my hard earned cash in their till?

mind you, I have to remain positive on the potential they could have if they copped themselves on. Even Walmart are making changes for the better.

phew, that was brief.

I heard that Tesco are going to buy your user account on Thumped.

When I say "buy", I mean they're going to get some grunts to call around to your house in the middle of the night to negotiate using more robust and direct media than language.

We had a fridge full of kopparberg cans at a gig we played last night- fuck me, vile stuff, like those sweet cigarettes in fizzy water

it's a bit odd to see midleton for sale in the tesco off licence in phibsboro. i can't imagine they shift too many of them.

Was in Sainsburys in Derry last week buying a couple of Buideals when the girl at the checkout thought she would warn me that next week punters will have to prove they are over twenty five to buy booze!

Not sure why she told me that seeing as I just turned thirty eight but still and all like.....

If the law of the land says you can buy alcohol at eighteen, how can a shop decide who to sell it to? Management probably has the right to do whatever they want I suppose?

"think 25" is a voluntary scheme among retailers in the UK. I think it really took off after Tesco was fined for repeatedly selling booze to kids..

Speaking as someone older than 25, that's bullshit and should be illegal. If the law says 18, every 18 year old should be as entitled as anyone else to buy booze. If it was shown that a certain ethnic group was more likely to cause trouble when drinking, any such scheme would be rightly treated with contempt.

 

[billygannon]

All they're saying is that if you look under 25, they'll ask you to prove you're over 18.
What's wrong with someone serving alcohol asking for proof of age?

If that's the case it would be perfectly reasonable. It's not what Danny mc said though.

Well, I wouldn't serve Danny Mc

Do you work in Sainsbury's?

Danny Mc says a lot of things

Does he? Are they usually correct?

 

[nooleen]

yeah think 25 is if you look under 25 you have to show ID

 

[D0njo]

If you can get enough booze in ya before you're 18 you'll look 25 in no time, this yoke won't be much of a problem for any body who's serious about getting pished

This is perhaps a tiny bit drenched in paranoia but I fear a day when there will be no independant Irish farmers left, just large corporate farms where everything is grown in peat moss hanging baskets and is served with a side of angel dust ridden beef from super cattle that have never seen a piece of grass in their life and are shipped here from half way accross the globe.
