Isn't it strange...

Isn't it strange that no matter what the season, Bulmers are running ads with some annoying voice-over gimp trying to sound wise and profound?

See nothing strange here. Ever since Charlie McCreevy's budget punishing cider they've had an uphill battle - so what ever the season they have to say - "Perfect for a Bulmers"

What is strange is Bulmer's light - I've only ever been in one round where I've had to buy one of these ('course I don't get out much )

I really believed this would have gone the way of Guinness Light by now!

I should have said "isn't it irritating"... oh well. My point was that the guy is an annoying twerp.

As for "light" drinks, I'm still waiting for diet water.

As if intelligent people drink cider...

I find it irritating when I hear an advertising voice that sounds authoritative - "I'm about to reveal the truth about life the Universe and Everything to you" and declares you should brush your teeth with x, wash your clothes in x. take x when have a,b,c wrong with you...

But have to agree Bulmers ad takes the biscuit - it's not so authoritative more sleezy gimp who I would like to puke on!

Said gimp is none other than Mr. Gerry Fish, he of 'and the MudBug Club' fame. I guess he got so much money selling their one good song to Vodaphone last year that he wanted to keep raking in the dosh....

Still won't make me drink cider. It smells of apples but it tastes of wee.

Oh that Gerry Fish, international superstar that he is :eek: (Going by previous experiences of Irish celebrities, I'm better off not knowing who he is).

I don't have such a problem with cider per se - it can be nice. Are people against all cider or is Bulmers a particularly annoying variety?

And bloom bada boom boom in keeping with the spirit of this forum.

Think there are only 2 problems with drink, it's not just school kids etc... and <deafining sound of one hand clapping> Jebus a holiday in Hawaii - I'm there, whole family is!

The sound of one hand clapping is your fingers slapping against your palm or else the sound of air being brushed away. Either way, it's hardly a great conundrum.

If it was Dunnes I reckon it was most likely DIKE water, and not LITE water. LOL

Bulmers are responsible for giving me the two worst hangovers I've had all year this xmas. Bastards.

The_B_Man

apparently them bulmers orchards dont even get used for bulmers, the apples get used for cidona. bulmers apparently get their apples from the north somewhere.

another question, why is it that kids tend to go for bulmers before lager? (maybe u can answer that rosabeez )
kids tsk :rolleyes:

Well, yeah, you wouldn't want to drink cider if you're going on a big drinking session.

It's nice with curry, though.

eth0_

That's odd. Cider should only give you a hangover if you drink it on top of beer. Cider and beer will make you feel queer.

Maybe that stems from the days when there was REAL cider and not the muck we get in the pubs these days. Have you seen the amount of sugar in a pint of bulmers??

Because lager tastes like piss, escpecially carling *shudders*

I find most kids go for vodka as it gets you off your face really quickly but tastes like head lice removal shampoo *shudders again*


Eh, I mean, Kids don't drink.
