Things certainly seem to have changed since my student days in Sheffield! What's wrong with a pint of lager?

Any takers for this strange concoction?

[seekeerz]

Euw ....or however it's spelt ...does not appeal !!

[Buenchico]

Stick to the Castlemaine XXXX, Seekerz ;-)

[seekeerz]

Used to be Black Russians in my younger days, afraid my drinking days are well behind me now :))

[Buenchico]

I can still manage the odd drop or two ( . . . or three . . . . or four . . . ) but I certainly don't drink like I did back in my student days. (If that link illustrates the type of stuff that Sheffield students are really drinking nowadays, that's probably a good thing!)

[Buenchico]

If I was in your country, Seekerz, I'd probably fit in quite well with these guys ;-)

they need quicker ways to being in 'chuck-up barfing' mode.......

[Buenchico]

^^^ What's quicker than ten pints of lager every half hour? (Been there, done that!)

[waterboatman]

No thanks.

[Buenchico]

I agree, Boaty.

I'd also challenge the word 'classy' in The Star's description of that drink!

[DTCwordfan]

who is the Earl of Yorkshire?

[DTCwordfan]

six glasses of this puke.....

[waterboatman]

A TD will do nicely for me.

[DTCwordfan]

My suspicion is that the Earl of Yorkshire is, in fact, Geoffrey Boycott, or he thinks that he is.

It sounds absolutely gross !

[Buenchico]

>>> It sounds absolutely gross !

Then the Earl of Yorkshire was appropriately named ;-)

No. Boycott thinks that he's God ;-)

[Lie-in King]

Bleeuuurghh...

[nannybooby]

Fancy the gin and bergamont liqueur for a taster ....otherwise I'll stick to g and t thanks

[Buenchico]

I could manage that much myself, NB - but with pale ale as well??? Nooooo!!!

[hereIam]

Ha! Buen ....
