Many actually taste pretty decent these days. I like lager/ale/stout to a level, but I prefer the effect it has on me. I'm not too sure if I would drink it, if it was 0% and had no impact. The joy of drinking beer is the warm feeling its gives you. Otherwise i'll have a hot chocolate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had all the tests done, nothing wrong with me. stopped drinking caffeinated coffee - no more palpitations. When I was younger and used to go clubbing, i used to drink a lot, and I mean a lot, of vodka/red bull (or more likely some cheaper energy drink) Later on when I used to to bed, my heart was always pounding and I could hear/feel the blood rushing around me while in some sort of sleep purgatory. Had to give it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad's home brew was notorious as it had the aroma of a sweaty sock, if I ever said anything good about it, he knew I was after something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to give it up! I spent a few years in my younger days on the clubbing scene and partook in all that came with it, if you know what I mean. A little later in life I was down in London on a stag night and drank pretty much only vodka redbull all night, I felt far worse than I’d ever felt during my clubbing days. It’s some heavy shit man for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I stopped drinking Vodka red bull, not only does it increase your heart rate in large quantities, but it also dehydrates the life out of you too. In the morning feels like you have phlegm stuck in your throat, but its actually your uvula about the size of a marble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyeddie Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 My dad brewed home made wine in demi-johns. One year he didn't vent them properly. We were watching TV, and suddenly one of them exploded and ripped the doors off the cupboard and smashed the window opposite. Needless to say we all shit ourselves 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mjmooney Posted October 23, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2023 Horror films. I know lots of VTers absolutely love this genre, but it does absolutely nothing for me. There is the odd notable exception that transcends the genre, and succeeds simply as a great film - The Shining is the prime example. But mostly... meh. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shining sequel movie from a couple of years back, Doctor Sleep, is very good. Cleverly serves as a sequel to both the film and book, and it's really very much worth your time. Particularly the directors cut. Not really a horror film, but it's quite grim in tone and has a couple of true horror moments. But the whole thing tells a fairly compelling story and it manages to be a sequel that tells it's own tale and brings something from the original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2023 I don’t like blood and gore horror films. But I do like more of a psychological horror, in parts something where the horror aspect can be interpreted to mean something else on a more relatable level. Not just “Oh it’s a monster”. An example would be something like The Babadook where <spoilers> Spoiler It’s really about grief and learning to live with it. Spoiler Although I do like the subsequent gay icon interpretation the character was later given. . Even if I don’t think that film completely holds together, I enjoy the idea of it.

Designer1 Posted October 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2023 Horror is like any other genre of film, it has some very good movies and some very, very bad ones. If like me you have a love for the genre, and know which writers, directors and actors to keep an eye on and do a little bit of digging/research then you'll find some absolutely brilliant stuff. Same sort of thing that applies to genres of music I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's not really any saving graces to a horror when that happens. It probably just makes a bad horror more noticeable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. Very similar to comedy in that respect. Which is why it's always a beautiful thing when you find an off the beaten track gem (as I've done many times). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Horror films are cheap as chips to make generally. It's a gateway to directing so you largely get a load of shite hoping to hit that Saw cash on a 1m budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted October 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 26, 2023 Why Gobby Cabbage still gets employment as a football pundit. I mean, I can't stand the bloke at the best of times, but he could make it a bit harder for me to hate him by being good at his job. He's shit. He adds nothing I couldn't add, and I'm **** useless. "Ooh, that was good skill, that." "He's a good player, he is." "Great anticipation, that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
