BIG!

Can't say that I've seen many Chard SB blends in my time... hell I can't say I've seen many (any?) blends of grapes historically associated with Bordeaux with those associated with Burgundy. Maybe I've been tainted by tasting one too many (which is to say one, period) excessively oaked New World Chards (I was about to write "American" there, but on reflection realized that the Antipodean houses go at least as far in overoaking the chardonnay), but I'm not seeing how that would work out that well. If it was oaked I wouldn't be drinking it at all. The sauvignon crisps it up. It is very rarely that I'll touch a straight chardonnay because I'm leery of the oakiness. I think this answers my earlier post with a big middle finger response. Don't ever criticise anything I choose to do, particularly online if we've never met, when you talk about your leeriness of the oakiness. A typically toff-esq response to something you know nothing about. Enjoy your none-oakiness this evening, don't forget Barnaby's homework x Well, that gave me a good hoot! Firstly, I didn't criticise anything you choose to do. Then you decide to have a go at me about my preferences regarding wine styles on the premise that having a preference is somehow toff-esq (sic) regarding something I know nothing about. Do what you like. Fall asleep, puke, end up in trouble, ascribe your particular behaviour on any given evening to what you drank and what brand it was, I couldn't give a rat's ass what you do. In answer to your question, my tipple will depend on my circumstances and mood. Wine, beer, spirits are all available. I suppose it is one of the advantages of having a sprawling country pile with a vast wine cellar, fridges full of beer and champagne and decanters full of spirits with refill bottles in the pantries. Funnily enough, every drink you have mentioned I have drunk many times to excess - yes, even Leffe, both Blonde and Bruin that you seem to imagine is an esoteric pleasure. Doesn't matter what I drink or how much, I don't get the urge to fight anyone. Mind you, that might be because when we get a bit lairy we saddle up the nags, release the hounds and hunt down some foxes. If not, that we get out the rifles and go out and cap some deer. Much more fun than brawling in the gutter with someone from the working classes after eight cans of Stella. Christ, I didn't realise we had HRH on here, maybe one should be a little more respectful towards Privateer from hereon, my mistake, apologies.... eh. I do absolutely none of the above, and I haven't done for erm, 10 years? Yet, those wine-chugging arrogant arseholes that drink the same (rather classy at times) establishments seem to do a good job, still, let us not pidgeon-hole ah what? That wouldn't be fair would it, you know, being a dirty cop-out Stella drinker and all. Congrats for managing to drop that in, I nearly had to pop my head in a dictionary, the wife-beater must be making me dumb or something, I don't know. It's not about it being an esoteric pleasure at all, and you well know, it wasn't said in that tone, anyone can buy any of the drinks mentioned in mass from their local supermarket, you know perfectly well the point that is being made. <---- Actual, real life, laugh out loud. Not at your dashing wit, but at the suggestion that you've never lost your temper with someone when you've been drinking. And by the way, your idea of humour is poor at best, if I was you, I'd stay off the vino for a bit, stick with the Carling or something, it'll stop slowing your brain for a bit x 'Homework Barnaby'

Correct Trimster! Which is why I don't drink it when I go out on the town, it turns me into an arsehole and at times I can kick off. My mates used to moan like **** at me if I drank it, to a point where I had to give in and see sense, proper loopy juice it is. It's definately worthy of the 'wifebeater' tag it's gained... I'm glad someone else agrees. Don't let Bridget tell you any different It'll send you round the bend proper, as a comparable to the wine-chugging few, Carling/Fosters/Carlberg to Stella is like Stella to Tennents. That's going from bucket to trough.

Ah, yes, of course. Booze brand and type dictates behaviour. Brand x means I become a happy drunk, brand y means you better not be looking at me or my woman. Mmmm. Blaming a brand for behaviour is a huge cop-out as far as I'm concerned. Shush your hole boy, no copout at all. If I drink Carling (god forbid) I'm good for a bellyload. If I drink Red Stripe I'm good for the the evening. If I drink White Wine I'll be asleep by 10pm If I drink Red Wine I'll be sick by 10pm. If I drink Stella I end up in trouble usually. It's not a COP-OUT it's a much stronger lager than what I'd normally drink. I don't drink by ABV, I drink by taste. 8 cans of Carling < 8 cans of Red Stripe < 8 cans of Stella by ABV. I don't go out drinking Stella to fight people, I drink Stella because I enjoy it, much the same with Leffe (which is much stronger than a shandy my mate, you be careful should you ever try it). What a stupid thing to post, too much C2 or something you fassyhole? Tell me, Privateer, what is your tipple? I'm guessing you're a wine chugger maybe?

Bicks, Red Stripe could be brewed by anyone, anywhere.... It was THE drink as a young Trim, it went so well with the pipes I was smoking at the time. Now, it is far and away the best 'cheap' lager available, pisses all over Carling, Fosters et al, and doesn't make me want to fight people like Stella does. Crisp, clean, gives a lovely nice 'drunk' whether drunk in 4s or 40s. I'm amazed it's not more common. I defy any lager drinker not to enjoy it.

Very jealous that you are in SA! Where about are you? And to trim, Red Stripe; good man. Standard Procedure, currently reppin' too. Red Stripe rules the lager roost, even the wife agrees. Junglist massives number one liquid.

I'm on my way! I'll bring the Red Stripe me mon!

Stella4, and slowly turning into a bit of a session ugh. Gotta be up at 5.50 too. Heyho!

Not even to buy another hollowed out volcano? Haha, made me laugh!! Me too, I like it! And I voted no, I hate money, whenever I have it I end up in trouble. I'd sooner my wages were paid to my missus or something, and she gave me an allowance. Money is shit man.

:shock: couldn't have put it better myself :-) Completely unintentional, I assure you all. Actually it's true. I don't drink the stuff but it reminds me of him and so I grabbed a can and drank it sat on his side of the bed. I am now a Jamaican Lager Beer drinker... Marry me x If only I could upload that photo from the train station after the match.... Aaaah, pigtails and Red Stripe, I'd died and gone to heaven

You could always do what your good lady has done and donate some of it to Acorns through our Villa talk team in the sticky I may send a fiver. And OBE, for the amount of Red Stripe she's brought me lately, she can have whatever she wants

As posted several pages back, our part of the business posted a 1.4bn profit. Hardly lucky. I should be getting more, I would've done last year. And also found out the payrise from April too, more then I expected. A good day

I'm going on holiday

Haha joker! I know how to cook my mate

Only five hours late! Doh!

I'd put them in a lot longer then this, when I made burgers (BTW, how class is it to make your own burgers!!?) I made the same mistake, and they took about an hour to cook. Although one was the size of my face What seasoning did you use? I put paprika and cumin in mine, beautiful they were, with garlic & chilli chips and mayo to serve. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.....! I love burgers!

Go fer it boyo

Work for a bank? HBOS? Yah, well, BM, part of HBOS, now part of LBG. You're an RBS man? Our side (Retail) made a 1.4bn profit, but HBOS Group (conveniently after the takeover) is down 10bn. And I don't want shares. If you are RBS, hope you don't mind me asking, what are the restrictions on you selling your shares?

Too posh for us Roberto, best go elsewhere

And I don't care what happens, bonus day is 23rd, still heard nothing...............

Art Brut I know Cresswell and SellyOak will approve

1,000,000,000 is a billion, so it would be 500,000 not 50,000.

Loads of old Libertines stuff found on SPOTIFY!

Muhahahahaha!!!! Class!
