Shame you guys aren't over here to try some of the beer we have in the uk. Love to take you into a local boozer and watch the reaction when they hear an Aussie accent. I worked with some Aussies and Nzealanders great people and best laugh I had in years.

 Gday mate. I know of Uxbridge but not the pub in question. Small wonder he's homesick its been bloody cold and wet for weeks here. Last trip my lad and I had to the ranges just outside Liverpool was a nightmare. We had to lay in water to shoot as the land was flooded my glasses weren't fitted with windscreen wipers so I could hardly see the target and a screaming wind blowing in off the Irish sea freezing our nuts off. 2 hours of that and we'd both had enough but it gave me the chance to shoot in the new barrel on the enfield.

Nowt wrong with being hairy hoadie. I'm the same and it makes for great insulation during the winter. Great to find some Guiness drinkers on here. Now if you really want a drink with a punch try half and half. Half a pint of guiness and a shot of bushmills irish wiskey as a chaser. The guiness fills you without getting well oiled but the whiskey adds the final touches and you have a great head in the morning.  Then when you get up a nice athens dip, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, fried bread ( athens dip = swimming in grease) . It does work ! Honest!!

Well Tony - I LIKE wiskey..GOOD wiskey, & unfortunatly the Irish stuff don't cut it.I keep that stuff around fer when the "heathens" show up.I keep the good stuff for me & 2 of my mates well hidden.
You've reminded me of an incident back round 77 or 78.Me & my bud were in Ft.Lauderdale Florida in March. We were out on the beach early a.m. with hangovers that would KILL a moose! I just sat there staring out to sea - when I thoght I saw a whale comin up.Turned out to be a big, black submarine...then another & another! Well, wasn't long after we discovered the Royal Navy had pulled into town.3 subs & 2 frigates & a destroyer.They hit that town like a hurricane!Wow.N E way-the drinkin & carrying on started that night -& we ended up talkin with a couple of tars - who wouldn't let us buy a drink.(As we were from the colonies- we were accepted as mates).The one guy was a P.O. if I remember correctly.We were invited board ship next day for breakfast.Even with a killer hangover-I couldn,t refuse! He met up with us @ the guard, brought us into the mess.As the cook was piling the food on my tray-I was gettin the heaves from the smell & sights.I didn't think I'd make her! There was "bangers" & fried potatoes, smashed eggs.Got to the end of the line & this guy starts pullin on a handle & this unbelievably dark liquid came out -& it seemed THICK.I STILL don't know what it was.We sat @ table & I had a bitch of a time.Once I got a couple of sips into me-things began to settle down Then I started to pick @ food -more drink -more food.By the time my food was gone- so was that "beer" & my hangover.I was ready to start all over!(& we did!) Great bunch o lads, they were.
I bin a U.S.Civil war re-enactor in the states since 1980.Usually on the Sunday a.m. we'd take our allotment of 11 lbs of side bacon & put it all in one pot over the fire.After it was cooked, & the bacon eaten we'd take all the bread they allotted us, & we'd dip it in the pot of drippings & eat it like that(You could HEAR the arteries clogging from the Union's camp!) But hey - it sure was good!

Hoadie

Yeah I can imagine the arteries clogging!   The dark liquid was probably issue coffee looks like sump oil but doesn't taste too bad. If you want a real drink to warm you try kye . The navy lads used to make it up from cocoa with grated chocolate in it and a measure of navy rum it was so thick you could near enough stand a spoon up in it. The navy issue isn't like the stuff you get in your local store. Its thick like molasses and has to be watered down.
