Whiskey menu, you say? Well that's me buggered.

Yeah, the tables are upstairs in the beerhall.

Sounds like the Dancing Queen will be in his element. \o/

yeah, he will probably love it

well, if you like the whiskey, i would suggest leaving the credit card at home - they have some for €150.00 on the menu - i cant emember the name of it but if you say it , i will know what it is

I think upstairs, or possibly downstairs.

Look for the milk.

And by the way.

The Brothers don't care about your 1998 Join Date, you've not been to a BGRH Beers yet, you are obliged to bring Condensed Milk; Carnation; One Can Of.

Well, they will be for us.

Yeah, it's upstairs in the beer hall. Haven't been there myself, but that's what my people in the Bull and Castle tell me.

Don't worry, it will be very easy to spot our area.

You were at the mod beers weren't you? If not you, then it was an imposter!

Whoever the imposter was, he took several of the "massage" vouchers and a few snout-fulls of coke...

Winter sports would be OK, water sports, not so much.

Where does one find this milk you speak of? I'm guessing Tesco and the likes, but where in the sprawling shopping metropolis of a shop Tesco is? Baking? Dairy? Who can help a clueless shopper?

Baking, apparently.

Any Dunnes, Tesco etc.

Or even the smaller shops likes Spar, Londis I think stock it.

Just done a search on tesco.ie and they have multiple options coming up from a search for condensed milk and I'd hate to get the wrong type and be thrown out:

Carnation Evaporated Milk 410g - €1.38
Carnation Sweetened Condsd Milk 397g - €2.33

Don't you DARE turn up with Evaporated milk. You will be shunned, ostracised, ignored, avoided, disliked, hissed at and generally frowned upon.

They are not the same thing.

I am told.

I wonder our tesco stores going to note a spike in the buying of condensed milk between tonight and tomorrow. However I am slightly scared by how organised people are being and not just leaving it till they get into town to try and buy it

There will be a few people there from 5:30. It will be nearer 5:45 before I make my grand entrance. I'm still trying to source the Rocky music.

I brought the worst fudge imaginable to the first BGRH beers.... I honestly believe I could have produced better fudge out of my ass.
