What is a hipster? Look at this fucking hipster...

Is there a beer thread?

yes

I like Tennents. :/

It's not the best, it's certainly not the worst. I drink it quite happily on draught, cans are pretty fucking manky.

I really miss Effes, loved buying big bottles of that and taking them to the park in London town... nice dry rice flavour and cheap.

So, confusion between Tennents Lager and Tennents Super I see. Tennents is decent enough standard or cooking lager, far superior to Carling or Fosters, for example but hardly a premium brew. Does exactly what it says on the tin and for that I love it.

Tennents super was apparently hived off from the main brand and is not made by tennents anymore, not sure if this is correct though. It's the super which is popular with the Italian hipster fraternity.

My fave pre-gig tipple as a teen... Three cans before you went inside and you were ready to chuck yourself down the front at any show...

I tried often to drink in one sitting all the five cans of Tenants Super I bought for a few quid when a student, but always conked out after the fourth. Three had me gibbered at last year's Carnival. It'll be many years until I touch another one of them.

pure tramp juice.

I've only tried it once, and don't plan on doing it again.

It's like Buckfast-I used to work in a wine shop and one day a total jakey comes in, takes a look at the several thousand bottles of wine on display, and asks

"No got any wine, no?"

"eh... yes" says I...

"Naw, that's fucking table wine. Buckie?"

"Sorry..."

Jakey slopes out the picture of frustration and misery. Repeat the same scenario with beers and the Tennents Super afficionados. Both funny and tragic.

Not sure if Jeez trying to be funny or if he's really just lost total contact with reality.

Can someone with a 'New Oxford Cuntard-English Dictionary' translate what he meant for me pls?

"A woman momentarily lashing out at her brother-in-law at a social event does not count as domestic violence."

Except as a matter of law it does...

tits is wot ladies have gruber you sexist pig.

Not really, men have tits. Biological fact. Some bigger than women's too.

Apart from that, the term 'tit head' as in, 'Jeez is a flaming tit head' is hardly sexist. It's just insulting. To Jeez. Because he's the personification of a giant mammary gland.

Too much info.
Can someone tell me what to order that will make me look knowledgable, a sophisto, and that tastes good. Preferably something no one has heard of.
If not, something retro that been under the radar that I can nostalgically sip as a reminder of the 80s (Hoffmeister I'm looking at you).

Thanks

Pint of Bass please, barkeep...

Bass is good.

Personally not keen on anything too hoppy.

Been going moar wierdy bierdy recently.

Bishops Finger with a top for a lunch.

Similarly Old Peculiar or some such guest ale.

Timmy Taylor aka Landlord always slips down.

Not many sessions these days. Designated.

Will still fire through lager with a curry mind.

boom boom!

You must be a troll. Or the recipient of a lobotomy. Still, as the saying goes ''Only idiots argue with idiots'' so I'll leave you to perpetuate your own internal dialogue in that respect.

Red Stripe mixed with Blue Nun.

Or, on a more serious note-this is delicious if you can find it: http://adnams.co.uk/beer/our-beers/kostritzer-black-lager/

I come here to giggle at whoppers with silly hairdos and I get 3 pages of waffle about shite beer? Madness.

Are you sure about that? Evidence?

Seriously. Anyone who can take issue with any aspect of that article (with the possible exception of the use of the word 'dogs' in the sentence "When they stop this behaviour, it's usually because they're ashamed, embarrassed or have belatedly realised they're disgusting dogs who can't hold their drink") is a fucking fucktard of the highest order.

Incredible scenes. Got to be trolling but if not you could pick a few offences from this list which Solange could be prosecuted of.

Tennents Lager shite? Take it back.

Someone got the above riposte wrong. It's "I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. Unless I could piss petrol".

Clara had never watched Nathan Barley (and I haven't since it aired), so watched the first episode last night. Totally Mexico.

*Domestic *violence is what you said. It could well** be (minor*) form of assault but domestic violence is usually in the home or between partners / children, and usually involves repeated events and a situation that the victim finds hard to escape from.

You are a fuckwad troll who is trying to diminish the seriousness of domestic violence, hence the need for articles like Barbara Ellen's.

Which particular bits of that article do you disagree with and why? Maybe C and P a sentence and pick it apart for me.

I am 99.99% sure you can't and I am even more sure that if you try my low opinion of you will go down.

• some of the reasons why it would / should be regarded as minor are laid out in the article
  
  

** probably is. spitting, threatening, all sorts can be regarded as assault AFAIK. The issue is whether it is DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, not whether she did something violent that she should not have done, that she could be prosecuted for if the police didn't have many many more important things to deal with, such as domestic violence,

You're a really weird character. Bizarre. I said as a matter of law, not through your magical prism of warped online ranting. Thankfully the Police aren't bound by your traditional definition of domestic violence and are much better positioned to serve the needs of victims than if they existed in your closeted little world.

I trust that you know that the new domestic offences, such as a s38 breach in Scotland, were legislated for to prosecute exactly this type of behaviour, and the prosecution treat domestic factors as an aggravation. That is, as a matter of law, the state in the UK sees this as domestic violence. Indeed one of the reasons the police are so busy is that they are dealing with offences such as this.

Anyway, whether Solange (or, back on earth, a hypothetical UK equivalent) should be prosecuted or not is another matter, but those are the facts.

Well, there's no silly hairdo in evidence but there is one ginormous whopper making himself known. Again.

But it's easy to see why Jeez likes that article, it's a heady, belicose mix of unsubstantiated self-proclaimed trusims mixed with a small kernel of easily defensible moral (domestic violence is bad, no shit) that means attacking the slovenly journalism is akin to excusing the supposed subject of debate.

Much like the admirer in question, it's a baffling, ill thought out and poorly articulated way of tagging some kind of 'serious' debate onto what was already an over-hyped, laughable excuse for sensationalistic 'news' that is held up as some kind of blueprint of how the media responds to female on male violence. And in true Graun style, even this modest argument can only be achieved by making it as self-referential as possible, even if this risks defeating whatever serious objective it might have had, by suggesting that it's normal for women to go through a phase of drunkenly belting whomever they choose on a night out.

In short, it's a steaming bucket of shit journalism that someone's tried to make passable by dangling a magic tree air freshener over it in the hope that cretins like Jeez take the bit in their mouth and get indignant on the behalf of all the women who aren't complaining.
