Brandy and Cigars: Off topic thread

Pawwed Rig

It was a bit of a flying visit in that I got there late Friday and left early Sunday. I went around the cathedral, ate currywurst, did the catacombs, ate bratwurst, walked around the Xmas markets, more currywurst.
Nice place alright. Very German look about it.
Footie and beer were class

I've two albums on repeat today that are helping me ease back into it.

Black Sands - Bonobo
Bon Iver - 22, A Million

I can't tell you how much they help.

Wasn't taken by Bon Ivers latest stuff but must give the album a proper listen through. Bonobo though - classic

Bob Dylan helped myself!

Good. Was in Vienna for Ireland v Austria. A succesful weekend all in all.
Probably drank slightly more than a normal weekend

Forgot Ireland were even playing til I got a taxi to town, got some look off the driver after my open ignorance! Hope you'd a good laugh

Re: Austria, really want to go, heard similar to Knex from somebody who went on a roadtrip through Europe that Vienna was the gem they didn't expect

How were the weekends folks?

Had an exam Saturday.

Went for dinner with burd yesterday then went to see Romesh Ranganathan in The Olympia.

Best standup I've ever seen, absolutely brilliant show.

Vienna, Austria altogether, is fking amazing. I was there last year, it was the last stop of a road trip. I had a cracking time (you don't climb up a fence of an imperial palace everyday haha)
And lots of beers.

Weekend was quiet, saving myself for this weekend, I'll be heading stateside. Interesting times to go to the US...
I just hope bars in Chicago have re stocked their beer after Ireland won there

It was my first weekend in two months I didnt have assignments. So I sat down played Playstation, argued with my 6 month old about holding the control, lost said argument, gave her the broken ps4 control, played more playstation. Then sat down to a glorious evening of Irish sports, played more playstation

6am McGregor fight :cool:
Sunday I played playstation, it was a good weekend

Not a regular poster, just passing through folks.
Have to agree with you about Romesh - great gig.

Currently making a comedown playlist on Spotify for myself, lashings of Bob Dylan in it, was up til 9am with the McGregor fight, 100% worth it though, great card

Was on a lads weekend in the West, lots of drinking, watching Rugby and footie in the pub, good food and playing cards until the early hours. Been a bit wrecked all week since, but totally worth it. Being in a house with wife and two daughters, it is a great sanity check to get away from the wimmin folk for a bit, even though I love them to bits. Watched the McGregor fight Wednesday, cracking fight and great rant afterwards.

Anyone ever played werewolf?

Pepe LeFrits

The card game?

D'Agger

Never even heard of it PR

Everybody watching Planet Earth & Westworld currently?

You couldn't pay me enough to be a cameraman in the BBC for their wildlife stuff - must take them forever to find stuff, and you're in a location that something could pop out of nowhere and rip your head off / give you a nibble and you're dead

There is a new forum here that is doing games. Looks like a bit of fun so I signed up.
There are free spots if anyone wants to be super nerdy.

I am none the wiser after reading a couple of threads on there. I have no idea what that is about.

Werewolf is a card game where there are two or three teams, everyone gets a role and tries to figure out who the Werewolves are.

Yeah that is it but it is transferred to an online format. Not 100% on the ins and outs but you essentially try to throw suspicion away from yourself while trying to figure out who is who. There is a lynching every evening by the villagers and a werewolf kill every night with other nuances which I don't really understand

Could there be a situation where the villagers lynch a wolf, only to find out they've lynched a genuine villager. Extra shame points for that.

I'm not making light of the game btw seems interesting but never know how they function / originally get going without being heavily driven.

Pepe LeFrits

Oh I see. Sounds fun but I don't think I'd be reliable enough to check in regularly.

Villagers seem to be lynched regularly enough
There are extra nuances that are different in each game.

D'Agger

It wouldn't be realistic without cruel injustice

How's everybody as we head for December then? Christmas shopping to get knocked out of the park next week while the wages are in.

Oh....other big news from a Gentlemens POV - Bought my first bottle of Creed aftershave the other day. Green Irish Tweed, got a 75ml bottle so hoping it'll last ages, only going to wear it when attempting to make an impression....which is rarely :pac:

No that monumental purchase happened a few years back - went for a see through one and it still entertains me

Do you have a TV?

On the way back from the flicks there, there was a broken bottle all over the floor of the bus. Shard of glass inches long sticking up from the floor. I'd no idea 'til I sat down but it could have went through my foot.

I hate London.

Decent enough. A bit underwhelming. I thought Doctor Strange was a lot better.

3% on netflix seems like a good show after watching the first 2 episodes.
