Pubs open

[xenon]

I expect it refers to peeps on a coke binge.

It’s a jokey thing said by people intent on going on the lash and declining a pre-drinking meal.

 

[xenon]

Never understood that. It’s a good idea to eat your tea if you’re drinking. How is it cheating?

not if you want to get hammered.

Last night was the first pub quiz for over a year.

We lost, as usual

Things are getting back to normal .

Good to see things getting back to normal!

 

[xenon]

have been in, or at a few pubs since last Monday. Was actually on holiday for a few days in Cornwall. Which was great. Mostly outside when it wasn’t pissing down.

 

[Orang Utan]

not if you want to get hammered.

Especially if you want to get hammered. You don’t want to miss a meal

Why would they do that?

 

[xenon]

Why would they do that?

to have more room in the stomach for booze. To aid ingetting drunk quicker / more efficiently.

 

[xenon]

I don’t these days but it’s pretty standard.

Sounds unhealthy but then so is binge drinking anyway.
I’ve never had trouble getting drunk and never miss my tea as it’s the most important meal of the day.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day

I never eat it though so it’s tea for me.

You are not a yardstick that the hungry people of these boards can be measured against.

 

[marty21]

Eatings cheating is a bit laaads isn’t it?

It does date from my laddish phase in the mid 80s , now I like a pub snack or two.

 

[Elpenor]

Not eating means puking for me if I’m getting on the beers in a big way. And I definitely prefer eating to puking.

You have to find the inner lad in you

 

[Orang Utan]

You have to find the inner lad in you

I’d rather not!

I once did four days/nights in Dublin only drinking Guinness (14/15 hours a day,) and eating nothing. It was not terrible but my liquid tar stools were dramatic to say the least. Had a couple of close calls and some undergarments had to be destroyed.

I am loving being in a pub.
Football is delivering too.

Such a pity it's so late in the season

I went to the pub(s) on Friday, had a drinky-winky at home on Saturday then another few on Sunday....a mistake as I can barely keep my eyes open today #lightweight #outofpractise

I'm glad you didn't cheat

I like to set the bar high

How much did they weigh (just asking for someone else )?

There is a very fine tale of Dylan Thomas and friend attending a mega Guinness session at the Puck Fair in Eire where they were eventually after a long period of quaffing , taken home in a donkey cart seriously under the weather , virtually sweating the stuff. I suspect "porter" was not a drink he much bothered with after that.

My father once referred to a local celeb known as "Dai - 40 pints" for much the same reason. Ammanford circa 1950 or so.

 

[Numbers]

The thing with Guinness for me is I could only do 6 on the bounce, I’d then need a refreshing pint of cider before resuming the Guinness.

 

[Badgers]

Hard to call

Memory is a little blurry.

Dublin’s Pintmen would take some keeping up with. Dinner or no dinner.

Two decades after agreeing to have his picture taken by an American folklorist, Cabra man Paddy Losty has taken the internet by storm as the embodiment of excess. But who was he?
