The abstinence thread

ha! when did maverick do cocktail? 1984? you would think that it was new judging by some of the guys in the west end...

Alhough... I guess theres only so much you can "flare" pints of lager. Having said that, a barman recently served me a pint of Guiness with a skull and crossbones design in the froth. Turned out to be a fairly accurate premonition.

The guy at my local puts a shammrock on top.
*a tear falls from my eye

ah yeah, we got all that to look forward to havent we next paddys day,the hats, the sessioning, the tradition.
do I look like I want a fucking shamrock? I am in a totally different country and the nearest you have been to Ireland is watching Dana sing on t.v once in 1978

We are all Oirish under the skin

^I'm not. I'm half I-tal. Wait maybe the drinker in me is.....

With you on this one, no one likes Guinness and then sudenly everyone's drinking the stuff because that's what you do!
Fuck off and get me a scrumpy!

Then you are half way there then ;-)

Ital food is derived from the word "vital food" (Self-determination of the black race resulted in the Rastafarians usage of the word 'I" to replace the first letter of many words). Ital food means it is natural, pure and clean food. For a Rastafarian it means no salt, no chemicals, no flesh, no blood, no whites (called whiteblood), no alcohol, no cigarettes and no drugs ((herbs are not considered drugs).
Rastafarians avoid salt, oil and meat. Their dietary laws are similar to the laws followed by Jews in Leviticus 11. Fish must be less than a foot long. No shell fish or fish without scales. Pork is especially condemned amongst Rastafarians. It is so important to not put the wrong thing in your body that some Rastafarians never cook in aluminum pots as it is said to leave traces of metal in the food that can get in your body. Cooking in a clay pot is popular among Rastafarians.
Rastafarians see their food as a way to be one with nature and also as medicine for the body, as it builds your "strucha" (Patois or the word structure). There are also strict hygienic laws that Rastafarians follow.

Ha, I though that was going to be my post of a beer. I don't mind those people who actually like, and drink, Guinness normally, just those who come out on St. Patrick's day and force down 4 pints just to get the shit hat.

Yeah but its totally different in Ireland when you have it there

Pub?

Nope. Gym, soup, salad and tea. How gay is that?

Shiraz is delicious...

Are you 15? "How gay is that?". FFS. At least you didn't spell it ghey, I suppose. Now I need a drink.

You don't have to be 15 to say that ...

Still just about my favourite thread on the forum.

My son's godfather has the name Shiraz. I didn't know you knew him Joe

My uncle is called shiraz.

Is it wrong that I'd still like some?

At this time in the morning, probably.

26 days without a tipple (sounds rather pathetic doesn't it). I've drunk a lot of virgin marys in that time. Tomorrow signals the end of abstinence as I know it. In 20 hours I plan on being in a beautiful vodka induced daze bouncing off walls in Krakow.

I though Ghey was a way of suggesting the word was in the colloquial adjective sense rather than the derogatory homosexual way.

No, it was John Hurt in 1984.
