@Tassotti

A packet of anti histamine is 2 pound in England, its 4 times that in Bogtrotter land

Sure we can afford it the poverty in the UK is frightening

I think @TheUlteriorMotive mentioned that Brewdog place near the Canal a while back. Nearly 8 euro for a pint of lager. Absolutely bonkers. The height of hipster bullshit as well inside

[Julio_Geordio]

Never been but I would imagine it is corrugated iron amd pallets to bate the band

[Mac]

Yep, that’s it exactly

Sandymount hotel. €7 for a pint of Heino in a plastic glass before the Ireland match last night.

€7…for 1 pint…of Heineken…in a fucking plastic glass

The fuck like

And it was only a half litre as well I’d say…

TBF it was my first church I attended

And I do go to pray there
But yes I also use it to park- quick exit- out the gap

I had a look on google maps. I can’t see how you’d get into the place.

[Massive_Attack]

Leave it with the cunts.

[Spidey]

Yes but you get membership with that price

Do you??

I don’t know how lads drink Heineken at all. I find it full of gas and to me it doesn’t even taste nice. I’d actually go without a drink rather than a pint of it.

[Corksfinedtboy]

Turn into the church just before heading into the centre from before the cuh side

Exactly opposite the Wilton bar

Except for funerals and daily mass ( 11 I think ) there’s spaces on the avenue leading directly to the chapel

I wouldn’t be a fan, but the options were that and islands edge. Heineken bar

TBF it was ice cold so it tasted grand

Was talking to a buddy who was home last week. His father is shoving on and he uses that Voltaren gel for aches and pains. It costs about 30 Euro in Ireland. He priced it at about six Euro here.

In Ireland would they give you a small tube of lube to go with the 30 euro tube of gel ?

[balbec]

I’ll have to ask him

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

The only place ive drank Heineken and not had a banging hangover after was the fair green in limerick. Unreal spot

[TheUlteriorMotive]

What generally available beer do lads drink if not Heineken.
Is Carlsberg any better ?

Bierra Moretti or Peroni are nice but not in every pub

[Batigol]

Carlsberg is far better

Had to get a window replaced recently and had a lad out to replace it. Insurance covered most of it. Asked him to price another window which has a scratch down the middle and drives Mrs Hunt nuts. 810 quid. We scoffed and said we’d get back to him. Got a call last week saying there was a mistake and somehow it was ordered and now ready to be fitted. He appreciated i hadn’t ordered it and would do it for 580. I said I’d get back to him but didn’t get a chance to and he rang back again and said 540. Still probably a rip but got it done.

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

Are they the same windows you had delivered socially distanced last year? Rightly mugged off if broken already

[mikehunt]

Yep. The lads that fitted it took a scraper to a sticker.
