    wait a minute....that has already been drank, which means in the first place he ordered a GLASS of guiness! thats sacrilegious in itself!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    I think the fact taht it is a glass is teh sacrilegious part?


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,411 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    And the fact that it looks purple suggests that there has been blackcurrant *spit* added to it.

    It's a 0.5L Coke glass and there could well be Blackcurrant in it, this guy is American and I recall him getting Blackcurrant in it before on previous occasions. There is just so many things wrong there... and he thought it was fine!

    did you tell him he was wrong?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    did you tell him he was wrong?!

    Too right I did, but he just shrugged, said it was fine and kept drinking!

    Life-long ban from BGRH surely required here for your mate?

    That's not good. He must be fierce secure in himself.:D Actually forget that a gay mate of mine that's as camp as a row of tents overheard another mate of mine order a glass of guiness and the withering look he gave him while saying "that's just wrong" when he returned with said glass was priceless.:D

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    So what? I drank beer out of a mug before. Once it's in some sort of container and i don't have to lick it up from the table, I don't care.

    You see there are two pints to be made in this thread. While you refer to drinking beer from a mug, that's OK if you are at home/camping/living in a doorway, in which case it's a case of any porter in a storm and perfectly acceptable!

    However if you are in a public house and recieve the above example, your only honerable option is to pour the beer over the barmans head and then smash the glass so no other self respecting brother can find himself subject to such and indignity!

    You lads have missed the point here. The barman was absolutely spot on. If a MAN goes and asks for a glass of guinness with blackcurrant he deserves it in a coke glass. Well done to the barman

    No, you've missed the point. If a man asks for a glass of Guinness with blackcurrant the barman should bar him immediately or risk having scorn heaped upon him by his fellow barmen for serving such a drink.

    Barman cannot take responsibilty here. He did the best he could possibly do to discourage the punter from ordering same again. Shame on anybody that holds that poor man at fault.

    Something like taht :)

    In fairness to barman if the perpetrator ordered a glass of Arthurs finest the barman may have gave him a look, leaned in closer and whispered 'Are ya sure?'. Upon receiving an affirmative response he may have reluctantly served it, perhaps thinking there may have been a wimmins in the WC. After rather innocently serving it, in a Coke glass to ensure such a thing would never happen again, the cowardly customer may then have reached for one of those bottles of blackcurrant MiWadi (that the wimmin use) left along the bar and proceeded to dilute *shudder* the perfect porter.

    I can only assume however that the barman has noting this crime and will not in future serve such a character in future.

    This should be tested (I vote you to do it) in Yore Mas to proved the validity of your arguments!

    I was in Langkawi in Malaysia in 2006 and a guy was drinking a GLASS of Guinness with no head on it to speak of THROUGH A STRAW.

    He may as well have been giving me the two fingers.
