    some of you lads have some serious drinking problems. would you not think about knocking it on the head? this thread is making me sick. alcohol is a poison on this earth.

    That's as extreme as the opposite extreme.

    Alcohol in itself isn't "bad" or "poison"; the attitude that some people have towards it is, as is their bull**** macho abuse of it.

    But neither of those is the alcohol's fault.

    You don't blame sugar for the fact that some people abuse it and turn themselves diabetic, do you ?

    Very valid point alcohol has been a part of human culture for centuries.

    When buying cans I'd usually just knock up to the local grocers and purchase 6 cans of Beer for 10 bucks, I'm buying a slab of said beer in supermarket for 24 bucks at the moment. How much will said slab cost in said supermarket after Christmas or do they stop stocking slabs then or what?...

    To be honest, I'm better off paying 10 for 6, if there's only 6, I can only drink 6. When there's 24...

    ten bucks for six beers, aye..barely covers the ammo or the petrol to transport them.

    bucks... cop on to yourself. really annoyed hearing slab and buck in the same post...

    Tell that to Jesus, he turned water into the best wine of the day for his Mother during a wedding after the guests had quaffed ALL the wine which should have been sufficient for the ceremony.

    It was considered an insult to one's guests to run out of alcohol and whilst Jesus questioned his Mother's request, he believing himself above this frivolity, nonetheless, made the best wine his Mother's friend's guests ever had and they spent the rest of the night filling the jugs with water and bringing them to the boy.

    beer out of can :(

    20 bottles of franziskaner for €25 in my local lidl right now, a proper beer it is too

    I was in Lidl yesterday searching for said beer but, alas, the shelf was empty. So I asked the skinny, pretty Russian girl who was walking past if they had any of this fine beer in their stores.
    'Aye vill chyeck' she said and trotted off for a look. Then, somewhat suddenly I was surrounded by four other men, seemingly unknown to each other..
    'Here for the deal on the beer yeah?'
    'Is she getting you more of the beer on special yeah?'
    etc.
    These wierdos were strolling up and down the aisle hoping that the beer would just appear on the shelf.
    As soon as the girl came out the four of them almost cornered the girl
    'I'll have a box of that as well'
    'Yeah eh, I'll have two boxes.'








    I suppose you had to be there really.

    Well the thing is one has to ask. On several 'special offers' in either Aldi or Lidl I went to several stores in the city only to be frustrated at not finding any, anywhere.

    In the last store I asked and got what I was looking for, I enquired as to why the item was not on display and she said you have to ask for the specials!

    OK.



    So you described it well. Very well TBH.

    In my cosmopolitan area we hear slab on the Northside and tray on the Southside, slab spoken in any dialect, but tray spoken in an upper English upper middle class accent, rather like Mrs Bucket calling herself Mrs Bouquet in a TV sitcom.

    I honestly thought Slab was an exclusively American term.

    I'd heard of Tray used once or twice...

    Can't believe no-one here calls them what me and virtually everyone I know has called them since I can remember... Crate!!!

    Tis strange!

    Crate for sure, but the real crate was 4 or 6 24 packs and then the pallet. But crate was / is still a common term.

    Crate/Slab/Tray : no matter as long as the price is €20 [or less] we won't argue :)

    I've realised I'd call it a slab of beer but a crate of Bulmers... hmmm

    I am about to get a "slab" of hino for "bucks" I am amazed at how cheap they are.

    But minister Shorthall has promised to do something about cheap alcohol in the new year,, because its what we want:rolleyes:

    So people I am going to give you the best advice you will get this year.

    If you want to save money drink as much as you can this xmas. The more you drink the more you will save.

    Whats with all this "bucks" sh*te? Jesus Christ man, get a hold of yourself and start talking properly.

    Bucks.Slabs.

    You should be charged the Government Dumbarse levy ontop of the usual price of the beer.


    Bucks. Jesus Christ.

    If the Euro fails we will adopt the "buck" 5 bucks will be a slab, then 2 slabs will be a tray, 2 trays will be party.

    I can't wait for the euro to fail now.
