I grew up with a guy who was (fairly) normal. Our paths crossed after not seeing him in about 6 years and although he's still a good lad he's absolutely fucked with this head shake twitch thing. He tans about 4 cans of Asda's own brand red bull a day and openly admits has to swallow a load of sleeping pills to bring himself back down at night. I asked him about the twitch one day and he said he doesn't even notice he's doing it now. (not heart related, but still!) Edit : to clarify, I was determined he'd took a bad E or something but he says he's never touched anything like that - and can't smoke weed to bring him down.

Fair enough last Thursday was original for the NHS staff who have done a great job but now everyone seems to want in on the act. "hero" status extended now to soldiers, NHS workers, cleaners, shop workers, chemists, security guards etc etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a reason that all the 10 - 15 packs of Budweiser are off the shelves as Asda Bairnardo! I'm not just saying this..... If Bud was all that was there on a day I intended drinking, I would wait until I could get something else... I have a pathological hatred of it, which is odd because in a past life where I spent a bit of leisure time across the pond, I liked it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd even drink Tennent's over Bud, that's how fucking rank it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Friday afternoon is generally considered, in my experience, as the time when most people schedule as few meetings/tasks as possible to skive (more than usual) off a bit at work. Four fucking meetings on Teams this afternoon scheduled. Four. f**k's sake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admit it, the only reason you posted that was so you could legitimately use the phrase "knackered hearts" when there's no football on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes them better than the large cans? There are definitely good canned beers available. My research (company bullshit) tells me that canning processes have changed to improve the drinking experience. Small cans are probably a portion size and let you taste the beer at its best rather than sitting in a glass or can for too long (they also allow companies to charge more as well probably). However, your average Fosters/Carling/Bud drinker will still go for 500ml when they are available.

DiegoDiego Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I dont think they sell large cans just 330 ml ones or bottles.Ah, you can get 500ml ones over here. Their range of faux-hipster beers is quite good as well. Also, Castello lager made by the same mob is pretty decent, you find it at the football sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cans are definitely better than bottles because visible light affects its taste; carbonation for lagers is piss-poor after being stored badly as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Just now, throbber said: Also you don’t have to deal with the hassle of using a bottle opener every time you want a fresh beer and cans are easier to dispose of after as you just need to put them in the recycling bin. It's a real surprise to learn you're a fan of cans of lager throbbz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
