Off Topic Foredeckdave's Music Thread!

Theres a pub here in Cork called 'The Local' full of riff raff though. How I long for the days of The Screaming Monkey where more 'e' was sold than pints

 

The plain red flag is THE socialist flag dave.

 

I blame 2 things for the decline in pub culture.

1 - Wetherspoons
2 - Smoking ban


Now pubs are **** in comparison to the 90's. Back then walking around burning people and gurning was your average Tuesday night

 

They open early for the games and do a cracking british breakfest as well.

 

British breakfast

You mean a 'Full English'

 

Indeed and now also instead of smelling stale smoke you smell fresh and stale farts ughhhh

 

So an Irish pub that does Full English breakfest? Must have missed something.

 

There's a Molly's just off Commerical Square in Lisbon. I fell in there about 3am one night after partying with a crew up in Bario Alto. To cut a long story short a Swedish lad from the crew ordered Black Stuff. I tasted it ans shouted "this is ****e!" to which the big Irish bar manager tried to grab me saying "shut the **** up". I told him I'd had far better on the Dock road back home in Liverpool. To which he brabbed a bottle of Bushmills and we all retired to a table in the corner - bloody good night!

 

Agreed Sky but the offy's selling beer/wines/spirits at a price that puts the pubs to shame never helped,its the government taxes on liscensed premises and the alchohol that have closed a lot of boozers.

 

I think they call it a 'Full Irish'.

...they do in O'neils anyway!

 

Full English my hole ... In Majorca about 9/10 years ago me and the mrs went to an English place for breakfast and I ordered 3 breakfasts 1 for her and 2 for me.But the cock an knee behind the counter made a show saying ''you wont eat 2 breakfasts I'll give you 1 each and if you're still hungry I'll give you the 3rd free.'' Needless to say he was fuming when i said I'd have an extra sausage on the second breakfast

 

I think you are full of s***!!!

Will have a look around for the welsh beer and tangle foot. Doubt I will have luck but will give it a thrash.

 

But the tune is brill

 

O'Neils charge London prices.

 

But as most pubs don't have a decent 'smoking solution' I'll only go when it's not raining or too cold. Now back in Tobago there's no smoking ban but its never goes below 21c at night so who cares if they did!

 

The chips at the pub here are dynamite, especially with the yellow curry onthe side, fantastic.

 

Is this the Alchoholics Anonymous thread?

Someone put some money in the jukebox for ****s sake.

 

Can still smoke in bars in KY. I can't stand it but hey, whatever floats your boat.

 

jukebox? you lot are ancient, Ihome JBL system, someone hit shuffle!
