Who talks like this??

I read this on overheardindublin.com -

Drinks round

I used to work in a busy city centre Bar and I once got the following order from a customer (of D4 persuasion):

Hi, could I have a Heino, a Probs, an AG, a VRB, a JDC and a GT.

AKA: A Heineken A Carlsberg, a Guinness (as in Arth Guinness), a vodka and Redbull, a Jack Daniels and Coke and a Gin and Tonic (that one's fair game).

What is the problem with being normal like everybody else and using the right names for the drinks!

Can anyone tell me - who talks like this? do you talk like this?

Aaagh god it's hideous.
how do you get Carlsburg from probs?

Answered your own question there I think. Nobody talks like that (I hope).

Who talks like that? Probably the same sort of people who refer to them as 'Scoops'.

Joke!

Ha ha, I don't think so, If I tried to order like that in my local the barman would probably punch me and then bar me from ever coming back!

Unfortunately, there are plenty of people who insist on using contrived slang and speaking in contrived, pretentious accents (see: loads of radio and TV ads). They're infuriating knobheads.

LOL, omg that's class. rofl.

Yeah whoever ordered that sounds like a prize knob.

AngryAnderson · 12-05-2006 10:33PM

I blame that abomanation that is Ross O'Carroll Kelly.

People who order drinks like that take them books as their bibles.

I mean come on he was on Tubridy just before the leinster v munster match wearing a pink shirt, I sat there hoping Ryan would rip him out of it.

No, that long string of drinks sounds strange. But then again, the next time you are in a pub, see how people order a Budwiser. What do they call it?:D

Time=Money. That guy probably saved himself 3-4 seconds ordering like that rather than usiing full names.

Agreed they order a pint of bud, even the heino thing is acceptable (barely!) but a probs for a carlsberg and a VRB for a vodka and redbull?? Come on!!

Well only if the barman completely understood the order , otherwise he just wasted 9-10 seconds .

qwerty, people.
typing "ppl" is just as bad as ordering a vrb and almost as bad as drinking one.

Who talks like this??
